Verse 1] (half-spoken / talk-sung) Woke up on the couch again TV buzzing No sound Just light There’s dishes in the sink Three letters on the table One says FINAL NOTICE Like I didn’t get the first two I keep wearing the same jacket Cause it still smells like smoke and rain And honestly... That feels about right [Pre-Chorus] (more melodic) Everybody says “Just keep pushing through” Like drowning people Need philosophy [Chorus] (melodic, emotional release) I’m trapped Somewhere between surviving and gone Trapped Holding the weight for too long Every hallway looks the same Every morning calls my name And I don’t know How to escape [Verse 2] (talk-sung) Guy at the gas station asked me “How’s life?” I almost laughed Cause what do you say? “That I’m one bad week From disappearing into static?” So I bought my coffee Nodded twice Walked back out Like a ghost paying rent [Bridge] (fragile spoken section over organ and sparse guitar) Sometimes I sit in the car after work Engine off Hands shaking on the wheel Just waiting for something inside me To restart [Guitar Solo] (Soulful weeping guitar answering the vocal phrases) [Final Chorus] I’m trapped But I still drag myself along Trapped Still breathing somehow Maybe that counts for something now
