Upright and Unraveled

Wrote a love song to my electrolytes,
Now I’m dating compression tights.
Blood pooled in my ambition’s shoes,
I lose gravity like I lose my truths.

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, tilt me back like a tragic cliché,
Even my shadow sits halfway.

⸻

(Chorus)
‘Cause I’m upright and unraveled,
Crashing like glass every time I travel.
My pulse is a plot twist, loud and unclear,
Screamin’ “I’m alive!” in a chandelier tear.
Yeah, I fall like it’s fashionable,
This tilt-a-world life’s irrational.
But I’m still here—out of breath, out of spite,
Turning syncope into a stage light.

⸻

(Verse 2)
Stairs are my Everest, five steps deep,
Then I’m breathin’ like I just ran a meet.
Doctor said, “It’s invisible.”
Cool. So’s my social life—miserable.

Gatorade’s my champagne toast,
Salt’s my vice, I overdose.
I’m the life of the party… if the party’s a nap,
With a 3-minute dance and a 12-hour crash.

⸻

(Pre-Chorus)
Oh, I’m the king of dramatic descent,
My heart reads tragedy in every event.

⸻

(Chorus)
‘Cause I’m upright and unraveled,
Wired to fall, but somehow I battle.
My nervous system threw a coup,
But I still write anthems in shades of blue.
Yeah, I sway like a gothic confession,
Stuck in this orthostatic obsession.
But I still sing—out of time, out of breath,
Telling fate to take a number, not my death.

⸻

(Bridge – Spoken/half-sung)
Dear Gravity,
Stop flirting with my knees.
Dear Resting Heart Rate,
Why you gotta hit 143?

⸻

(Final Chorus)
So I’m upright and unraveled,
But I’ve stitched my soul to this uphill battle.
You can faint me, drain me, bend me thin—
But I’ll rise like a nosebleed grin.
Yeah, I drop like a mixtape meltdown,
But I own this dizzy ghost town.
So here’s my pulse—fast, loud, and true,
POTS won’t stop my debut.

(Outro)
Lights fade, heart races, I still play—
A little broken, but built to stay.

2025/7500

(Verse 1) I’m a standing ovation with a panic attack, Heartbeats playin’ Slipknot on a cardiac track. Tried to walk tall but I blacked out instead, Your ghost walked by while I laid with the meds.

Blood pooled in my ambition’s shoes, I lose gravity like I lose my truths. ⸻ (Pre-Chorus) Oh, tilt me back like a tragic cliché, Even my shadow sits halfway. ⸻ (Chorus) ‘Cause I’m upright and unraveled, Crashing like glass every time I travel.
