Verse 1 (rap) Pressure in my head like a cracked pipe burst Everybody talking but they never think first Throwing out opinions like they’re facts on a page But they fold when they’re face-to-face with rage I walk through the mess, I don’t say a thing Just let the noise hang while the alarms ring They want a reaction, they want me to snap But I learned real quick how to sit in the trap Pre-Chorus They love a story where I lose control But I’ve been digging out a deeper hole Chorus I bottle the noise when it gets too loud Keep it in my chest when I’m in the crowd They don’t see the weight, they just see the face But I’ve been running this broken race Yeah I bottle the noise, don’t let it spill Even when it bends what I know is real I bottle the noise, I bottle the noise Verse 2 (rap) Every word around me like broken glass Cutting through the present, dragging up the past They don’t know the half of what I hold in tight Just the outside view of a losing fight I keep it contained but it builds and builds Like a storm that waits but never sits still And I smile like it’s nothing, like I’m alright But the inside’s always too loud at night Breakdown (shouted) Say it again if you think I care I’ve been too far gone to be scared All this noise just fuels the flame But I won’t ever say your name Chorus (final) I bottle the noise when it gets too loud Keep it in my chest when I’m in the crowd They don’t see the weight, they just see the face But I’ve been running this broken race Yeah I bottle the noise, don’t let it spill Even when it bends what I know is real I bottle the noise, I bottle the noise
