Verse 1

House was loud but nobody spoke

Just slammed doors and cigarette smoke

Mama faded, chasing a ghost

Needle truth that hurts the most

Dad was yelling at the TV glow

Bottle empty but the rage still flows

Every night was a broken scene

I learned young what silence means

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Yeah I carry it everywhere I go

Like a weight I never chose

⸻

Chorus

Got this anger in my chest, it’s a ticking bomb

Every memory hits like a fucking alarm

No friends left ‘cause I push them away

Too much chaos, they don’t wanna stay

Yeah I’m wired wrong, yeah I know that’s true

Highs too high, then I’m breaking in two

Call me cursed, call me anything

But I’m still breathing… I’m still trying

⸻

Verse 2

Grew up fast, then I burned out slow

Every “I’m fine” just a cover I wrote

Trust gets wrecked before it can land

I don’t even understand myself half the time

Mirror talks like it hates my face

Every day feels like second place

I try to change, I try to fight

But it’s me vs me every fucking night

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Yeah I sabotage what I need the most

Then I hate myself for it

⸻

Chorus

Got this anger in my chest, it’s a ticking bomb

Every memory hits like a fucking alarm

No friends left ‘cause I push them away

Too much chaos, they don’t wanna stay

Yeah I’m wired wrong, yeah I know that’s true

Highs too high, then I’m breaking in two

Call me cursed, call me anything

But I’m still breathing… I’m still trying

⸻

Breakdown (half-time, heavy, spoken/yelled)

I don’t need a savior

I don’t need your fix

I just need a second

Where I’m not like this

⸻

Bridge (more melodic, conflicted)

If the devil’s the only one listening

At least he never pretends

Yeah I know that sounds fucked up

But I’m tired of fake friends

Still I’m clawing my way out slow

Even if it doesn’t show

Every scar, every bruise

Is proof I didn’t lose

⸻

Final Chorus (bigger, more defiant)

Got this anger in my chest, yeah it won’t let go

But I’m learning how to face it instead of implode

Yeah I lost a lot, yeah I fucked up too

But I’m not done trying to be something new

Yeah I’m wired wrong, but I’m still here

Still fighting through the noise and fear

Call me broken, call me anything—

But I’m still breathing… I’m still trying

⸻

Outro (stripped, repeating)

Still breathing…

Still trying…

Still breathing…

Still trying…
