[Verse 1] I count the locks, then count again The kettle clicks; I check the door A thought arrives in borrowed clothes And leaves its fingerprints on every room [Pre-Chorus] My hands say run My feet stay planted I make a map Then doubt the planet [Chorus] There’s a crowded room behind my eyes Every voice has learned my name One says hide, one says you’ll be fine One keeps feeding sparks to the flame I hold the wheel; it turns in place I lose the thread, I lose the day If I can hear you through this noise Tell me I’m still here, still here [Verse 2] I wear my doubt like Sunday clothes Too neat to show the seams beneath I hear a laugh and make it proof That I’m the joke they didn’t have to tell [Pre-Chorus] The floor goes soft The walls lean closer I chase a thought It changes over [Chorus] There’s a crowded room behind my eyes Every voice has learned my name One says hide, one says you’ll be fine One keeps feeding sparks to the flame I hold the wheel; it turns in place I lose the thread, I lose the day If I can hear you through this noise Tell me I’m still here, still here [Bridge] Some mornings weigh a hundred pounds Some nights refuse to close I don’t need answers dressed as truth Just stay until the weather goes [Final Chorus] There’s a crowded room behind my eyes Every voice has learned my name One says hide, one says you’ll be fine One keeps feeding sparks to the flame I hold the wheel; it turns in place But somewhere through the blur, I stay If I can hear you through this noise Tell me I’m still here, still here [Outro] Count the locks Let the kettle cool Stay right here I’m still here
