Verse 1 (quiet, intimate) I learned how to breathe underwater Holding pain like it was holy Every word I never said Still circles me slowly I make a home inside the quiet Where nothing asks to stay I disappear on purpose So the hurt won’t know my name Pre-Chorus (build begins) If I open up my chest Will the truth finally leave Or settle deeper in my ribs Where it learned how to breathe Chorus (heavy but slow) This is where I go to drown Not to die, just to feel Let the weight come crashing down Make it real Make it real If I sink, don’t pull me out I need to know what’s left of me This is where I go to drown Just to see Verse 2 (drops back, minimal) I talk to ghosts I used to be They don’t recognize my face Every promise I believed Still waits in a broken place I wear the damage quietly Like it doesn’t bleed But the silence keeps a record Of everything in me Pre-Chorus (thicker build) If I let the darkness speak Will it tell me who I am Or just echo every doubt That I never said out loud Chorus (heavier impact) This is where I go to drown Not to die, just to feel Let the world come crashing down Make it real Make it real If I break, don’t make a sound Let it take what I don’t need This is where I go to drown To breathe Bridge (half-time, massive weight) I don’t need forgiveness I don’t need relief I just need the truth to hurt Before it sets me free Count it slow Hold the weight Let it fall Let it stay Final Chorus (full power) This is where I go to drown And come back changed again Every scar I wouldn’t face Now cuts deeper than my skin If I’m lost, let me be found In the wreckage underneath This is where I go to drown And finally breathe Outro (fade, ambient) I’m still here In the deep I’m still here
