Rocking out for nobody.

[INTRO] Rocking out for nobody. Still spending everything. Tell me straight now. Is this a rescue or a removal? [VERSE 1] If someone saves you but won’t release the wheel, that isn’t mercy. That’s control in a softer voice. Rescue pulls you from the fire then trusts you with your legs. Removal drags you clear and locks the door behind you. [PRE-CHORUS] Safety learns your name. Freedom breaks things. The lifeline starts to cinch. [CHORUS] Feels like a hand around my throat. I can’t see care from capture anymore. Comfort sinks its teeth into my chest. then pulls me under. (holds me under) [VERSE 2] That’s the test that never blinks— what you’re allowed to choose once the room goes dark. One voice says stay still. One says stand up. I won’t hold you down. I’ll catch you if you sway. [PRE-CHORUS] Safety wraps tight. Freedom slips. The lifeline keeps pulling in. [CHORUS] Feels like a hand around my throat. I can’t see care from capture anymore. Comfort presses down on my lungs. then pulls me under. (drags me under) [BRIDGE] Brown hands. Migrant hands. My hands. Cut into clips to calm somebody else’s fear. History screams this lesson and bets you won’t remember. Fear eats. Awake doesn’t. [OUTRO] Open your eyes. Check your pulse. Is this a rescue? (or removal)
