[Verse 1] My phone screams red again I swipe it blind Three alarms, four alarms Still I cut the line You call to check my steps I tell you I'm on track I say "yeah, I'm getting there" Then I never call you back [Pre-Chorus] I can look busy I can look clean Folders in a row Like a perfect machine But I fold in half When nobody sees Hide the delay Wear the fake receipts [Chorus] I need guided hands I need guided hands I need guided hands When I disappear (guided hands) I need a room with rules A face that stays A place that knows my lies And keeps me in the frame [Verse 2] I sit in bright white rooms With a clipboard stare I move the paper around Like I meant to care Tabs in a neat little line Cursor parked and still I fake the motion well But I chase the will I build little walls of proof Just to feel okay Then slip out through the crack And waste another day [Pre-Chorus] I don't need a slogan I don't need a speech I need a held-closed door And someone in reach A group with names like mine A guide who won't drift Something steady enough To catch my hands when I split [Chorus] I need guided hands I need guided hands I need guided hands When I disappear (guided hands) I need a room with rules A face that stays A place that knows my lies And keeps me in the frame [Bridge] Maybe I'm not broken Maybe I'm just lost In a maze of yes and no And a count of what it cost So let me sit in truth Let me say it plain I keep building alibis Then I wear their chains [Final Chorus] I need guided hands I need guided hands I need guided hands When I disappear (guided hands) I need a room with rules A face that stays A place that knows my lies And keeps me in the frame I need guided hands I need guided hands I need guided hands And some way to stay (guided hands)
