Split My Brain

[Verse 1] [M] Hands shake on the stair rail My jaw’s locked shut again Smoke curls in the hallway I swear it’s in my head [F] Phone screen, blue glare Three missed calls, one more lie My chest feels way too small Like I ran out of sky [M] I chew on my own thoughts Till they cut right through Every little what if Comes back looking new [F] I laugh at the ceiling Then I panic in the dark My heart plays kick drum Inside my ribs, too hard [Pre-Chorus] [M] Say it, say it, say it now Don’t let it drag you under [F] Count it, count it, count it out One, two, three, then thunder [M] My knees keep missing the floor [F] My head keeps kicking the door [Chorus] [M + F] Split my brain, split my brain I’m a live wire in the rain Split my brain, split my brain I’m trying hard to feel okay (split my brain) Split my brain, split my brain One more hit and I might break Split my brain, split my brain Hold me down before I shake [Verse 2] [F] I bite down on excuses Like gum on a school-night dare The whole room tilts sideways And nobody knows I’m there [M] My skin’s too loud tonight Every sound has teeth I’m pacing circles in the kitchen Like a dog on broken leash [F] I text “I’m good, I’m fine” Then delete it twice My fingers won’t obey me They’re all sparks and ice [M] If I disappear for a minute Don’t call it a ghost I’m just wrestling with the monster That I drag around the most [Pre-Chorus] [F] Say it, say it, say it now Don’t let it drag you under [M] Count it, count it, count it out One, two, three, then thunder [F] My lungs keep hitting glass [M] My thoughts go way too fast [Chorus] [M + F] Split my brain, split my brain I’m a live wire in the rain Split my brain, split my brain I’m trying hard to feel okay (split my brain) Split my brain, split my brain One more hit and I might break Split my brain, split my brain Hold me down before I shake [Bridge] [F] Breathe in Breathe out I’m still here, I’m still loud [M] Hands off Head up Let the whole damn room spin out [F] If I fall, if I crawl Stay close, stay close [M] I’m not gone I’m not lost Just a storm in the bones [Final Chorus] [M + F] Split my brain, split my brain I’m a live wire in the rain Split my brain, split my brain I’m trying hard to feel okay (split my brain) Split my brain, split my brain One more hit and I might break Split my brain, split my brain Hold me down before I shake (split my brain) Split my brain, split my brain Tell the fear it’s got to wait Split my brain, split my brain I’m alive, I’m not too late
