Say It’s Name…

[Intro – Whispered / Spoken] How do you know what fear looks like? It hides behind every blink… How do you know what fear feels like? It’s the cold breath when you think… …have you ever named it? ⸻ [Verse 1] It waits where the light don’t settle right In the corners that your eyes skip past It breathes in the pause between your thoughts Like it’s learning how long you last Fingers trace where the floorboards creak Like a map you don’t wanna read Something shifts when you turn away Like it moves when you don’t believe ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You say it’s nothing—just a trick of the dark But your pulse don’t lie when it starts ⸻ [Chorus] Say its name… if you know it That weight on your chest when you’re low and The silence that screams when you’re alone Yeah, you felt it breathing through your bones Say its name… don’t run It’s already where you’re from Under skin, under bed, underground— Tell me… do you hear it now? ⸻ [Verse 2] Mirror talks but it don’t sound right Like your voice got left behind Eyes stare back just a second late Like it’s watching you from inside Dust falls soft like a closing lid Air gets thin but the room don’t change Nails drag slow through a borrowed space Like the walls learned how to cage ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] You hold your breath but it holds you more Like it’s been there before ⸻ [Chorus] Say its name… if you dare That hollow feeling in the air When the dark feels heavier than night And the ground feels closer than it should, right? Say its name… don’t guess It’s the pressure in your chest Under skin, under bed, underground— Tell me… do you feel it now? ⸻ [Bridge – Breakdown / Whisper + Build] Don’t move… don’t speak… don’t breathe too deep It listens when you try to sleep Don’t blink… don’t turn… don’t look too long It’s been with you all along (Voice drops darker) It’s the space… too tight It’s the hand… no light It’s the breath… not yours It’s the knock… no door ⸻ [Final Chorus – Explosive] Say its name… SAY IT The thing you bury but can’t escape it The dirt, the dark, the closing sound— The silence screaming underground Say its name… you know It’s the place you’ll never go But it’s under your skin, in your head right now— Go on… say it out loud ⸻ [Outro – Fading / Spoken] You don’t have to dig… …it’s already waiting. ⸻
