[music] My head is a hallway of slamming doors. Every thought a threat, every breath a chore. I laugh like a lighter that won't catch flame. Spark, spark, [music] spark, and it's still the same. I'm talking too fast. I'm clenching my jaw. Trying to look normal. I'm breaking the law. Keeping it quiet of [music] acting okay when I'm on bed. Sending some slipping away. I don't want to scare you. [singing] I don't want to [music] be but I'm
crawling inside myself. Dragging my leg. [singing] If you could just hold me without needing proof. I swear I'd come down from the edge of the roof. I'm not going crazy. [music] I'm going unheard. [singing] I'm not out of my mind. I'm out of your
world. I'm not asking for magic, [singing] not asking for forever. I'm asking for one moment where I don't feel severed. [singing] If I look like [music] I'm dying, it's cuz I might be. [music] But not from the start. [singing]
From you not seeing me. I'm shaking the cage just to hear it rain. Do anything just to [music] feel something. I pick at the past like a scab on skin. Make it bleed again so you'll lean back in. I turn into thunder when I'm scared to be rain. I'd rather be hated than ignored in the frame. So I throw my voice like a glass grenade and cry [singing] in the silence that is made. I don't need fixing. I don't need
a judge. I need your eyes on me. I need you to touch the part I keep locked up. The kid in [music] the dark. The one who still flinches. I leave it. I'm not going crazy. [singing and music] I'm going under. I'm out of my mind. I'm out of your [singing] world. I'm not asking for rescue. Not asking for forever. I'm asking for an honest. I
know [singing and music] you. I get you. I look like I'm dying. It's cuz [music] I might be. But not from the start. From you not seeing [singing] me.
Say my name like you mean it. Say it slow, say it warm. Put your [singing] hand on my heartbeat. Like a shelter from home. [music] Tell me I'm not [singing] too much. Tell
me I'm not a sin. Tell me you're not watching. You're letting me in. Cuz I'm tired of performing. Tired of proving. I'm real tired of screaming. I'm [singing] drowning and getting offered a pill. Hold me like you [singing] believe me like I'm not [music] just noise. I'm
a person. I'm a pulse. I'm a desperate human [music and singing] voice. I'm not going crazy. I'm going unseen. I'm not out of my mind. [singing] I'm stuck in between who I am and who I'm supposed to be. And I'm bleeding
from the distance between [singing] you and me. I don't want a [music] kingom. I don't want a throne. I just want to be love. Like I'm [music] not alone. If I look like I'm [singing] dying. It's cuz I might be,
but not from the storm. From you not seeing me. [music] So if [singing] I get loud, if I get mean, please [music] hear the soft thing underneath. I don't want to fight. I don't want to
flee. I just want you to look at [singing] me and see me.
