Everybody got opinions, got prescriptions and predictions Saying maybe something different could correct the way I'm living I'm just trying to survive all the noise and contradictions While checking on the people barely holding their position Phone ringing after midnight, somebody's slipping again Trying to pull them away from the places I've been I know what hopeless looks like, I remember the feeling So I stay on the line while pretending I'm healing Heart racing, pace changing, trying to slow it down Short breaths, chest pressed while the room spins around Smile painted, frustrated, barely holding tight Still showing up for everybody every night [Female Vocal] [Lead, Harmony] [Soft Breathy Delivery] Stay with me tonight Don't disappear from sight Even when heaven stays quiet You don't have to fight Stay with me tonight I know you're tired inside Even if nobody replies Just stay alive [Male Vocal] [Solo] [Increasing Intensity] Another day, another battle between people I know Everybody's got burdens they don't want to show I carry the hurt because I know how it grows When the dark inside convinces you that letting go's hope Trying to stay away from that familiar side Where bad ideas start sounding justified So I answer every call and I listen again Even when I'm losing pieces trying to help them mend Hands shaking, mind breaking, thoughts moving too fast Wondering how much longer this season will last Trying to pray, trying to reach above Trying to believe there's still something called love Talking to God through the fear and the doubt But nobody answers and nothing comes out Still I keep speaking because maybe somehow There's a reason I'm breathing right now [Female Vocal] [Lead, Harmony] Stay with me tonight Don't disappear now Hold on through the silence Don't let yourself drown [Beat strips away — piano and distant strings] [Male Vocal] [Solo] [Barely Holding Together] Trying to breathe while anxiety's squeezing Trying to speak but my lungs ain't agreeing Everybody says, "Just wait, you'll be alright" But they don't hear the war that I fight every night Trying to bend without breaking Trying to— [Silence] [Female Vocal] [Whispered Harmony] Don't let go… [Male Vocal] [Voice Cracking] ...Fuck. [DRAMATIC BEAT DROP — Massive 808s, cinematic strings, distorted bass] [Male Vocal] [Explosive Emotional Delivery] I'M SO TIRED OF SAYING THAT I'M STRAIGHT WHEN I'M WAGING A WAR THAT I CAN'T ESCAPE EVERYBODY LEANS ON ME, I DON'T WALK AWAY BUT WHO'S GONNA CATCH ME IF I START TO FADE? ANXIETY GOT BOTH HANDS AROUND MY THROAT TRYING TO FIND GOD BUT HE DON'T SAY A WORD I DON'T WANNA FALL, I DON'T WANNA GO I JUST WANT A LITTLE PEACE INSIDE MY SOUL I DON'T NEED SAVING, JUST ROOM TO REGULATE STILL FEEL THE WAVES, BUT I REFUSE TO BREAK I'M STILL HERE EVEN WHEN I'M RUNNING ON FUMES TRYING TO FIND A LITTLE SPACE TO BREATHE IN THIS ROOM [Female Vocal] [Lead, Harmony] [Ethereal] Stay with me tonight Even if hope feels far You don't have to carry everything You already made it this far Stay with me tonight Tomorrow's still unknown But you don't have to fight alone You don't have to fight alone [Male Vocal] [Solo] [Quiet Acceptance] Maybe healing isn't a breakthrough Maybe healing takes time Maybe breathing through the panic Means I'm still alive And if You're listening somewhere Even when I don't know Give me enough strength To make it through tomorrow [Female Vocal] [Lead, Harmony] [Soft Falsetto] Stay with me tonight Until the morning light Even when heaven stays quiet We'll make it through the night Stay with me tonight If all you do is breathe That's enough for now That's enough for me [Instrumental Outro] [Female humming, distant piano, cinematic strings fading into silence.]
