PUSH IT DOWN

V5

[INTRO — whisper, phone-close] Shh… Don’t make it real. Not out loud. [VERSE 1 — slow phrases, leave air] Battery low. Head loud. Newsfeed pouring like weather. Rent. Clock. Jobs like trapdoors. A future priced like a joke. Someone says “I’m not okay.” My thumbs go fast. Because speed looks like care when I’m scared of staying. We turned comfort into shortcuts: a heart icon, a brave sentence, a “you got this” tossed like change. I hate that I do it. I do it anyway. [HOOK — stutter/echo built with ()] Push it down, push-push it down (down… down…) Say “I’m fine”, say “I’m fine” (fine… fine…) Keep it cute, keep it cute (cute… cute…) Make it a joke, make it a loop (loop… loop…) Text “you got this”, text “you got this” (got this… got this…) Then I fade, then I fade (fade… fade…) We don’t show up, we don’t show up (show up…) We just push it down (down… down…) [VERSE 2 — darker, still slow] Anxiety wears manners. It says “later.” It says “don’t be dramatic.” Burnout gets a trophy. Loneliness gets rebranded as “independent.” Someone finally tells the truth — plain — and we answer with tactics. Breathe app. Gym plan. Cold shower. Anything but presence. Because presence is slow. Presence costs time. Presence doesn’t fit a schedule. So we pick the clean lie: “you’ll be okay.” Then we vanish and call it boundaries. [HOOK — repeat, heavier] Push it down, push-push it down (down… down…) Say “I’m fine”, say “I’m fine” (fine… fine…) Keep it cute, keep it cute (cute… cute…) Make it a joke, make it a loop (loop… loop…) [MID-CUT — hard cut: sub + voice only] I don’t need a fix. I need a person. I need you to stay… Stay. Stay. Stay. (stay… stay…) [FINAL HOOK — widest drop, still not fast] Push it down? Not tonight (not tonight…) Not me, not you (not me… not you…) Say it out loud, say it out loud (out loud…) Hold it close, hold-hold it close (hold it…) Show up, show up (show up…) We don’t show love as a slogan. We don’t help from a distance. Push it down — we lose (we lose…) Hold it close — we move (we move…) [OUTRO — whisper] No big feelings? Yeah. That’s the problem.
