*Verse 1** Somebody says one word and you're back in that room Nobody touched you but your chest is caving in too soon That song comes on and you gotta leave the party That's not weak, that's just wiring, running hard, running heavy Nobody taught you this, it just got built Every scared moment stacking up, brick by guilt And now the trigger's loaded and it don't ask first It just fires the old state, for better or worse **Chorus** This is a trigger, not a truth about today An old door swinging open in an old kind of way You didn't pick the wiring but you get to hold the key It's not who you are, it's just what used to be Trigger ain't a sentence, it's just a memory **Verse 2** Some triggers came from love, and some came from harm A song from your wedding, a slammed door, an old alarm The brain don't rank 'em, it just links what came together So the smell of rain can feel like stormy weather Even when the sky today is clear The work ain't erasing what got wired in It's noticing the door before you're back within Naming it right when the old wave hits "This is a trigger" …that's the first bit **Bridge** Stop. Name it. "This is old, not now." Feet on the floor, feel the ground somehow The feeling's real but the story might be dated Separate the two and the charge gets deflated **Chorus (Final)** This is a trigger, not a truth about today An old door swinging open in an old kind of way You didn't pick the wiring but you get to hold the key It's not who you are, it's just what used to be Trigger ain't a sentence, it's just a memory **Outro** Old door, old room, old weather You don't live there, not forever Name it once, and it loosens its grip That's the whole trick, that's the whole trip
