Lyric

Eyes burned out from the blue glow

Coffee cup with my name half wrong

To‑do lists like a paper storm

Heart running on fumes

I just need to breathe between the days

Let the weight fall off my face

Close my eyes

Reboot the view

I’m not broken

Just used

Inbox climbing like a high wall

Thumb scrolls but my thoughts stall

Missed calls

“you there?” on my phone

I’m here

Just worn down

I just need to step outside the race

Feel the wind redraw my shape

Slow my pulse

Remember who

I was before I over‑grew

Cold fork in the sink

Last night’s plans

Half-read book on the same page again

Every room has a half-done chore

Every breath says “one thing more”

I just need a quiet little place

Where I’m not a job

I’m not a grade

Lay my head

Let silence move

Through the cracks I’ve pushed into

Sunrise sneaks through the curtains

Dust in the light

Soft and certain

For a moment I don’t have to prove

Anything to anyone

I just need to trust I’ll find my pace

Healing isn’t neat or straight

Tiny steps

They still accrue

I’m not failing

I’m passing through

So I’ll cancel one plan

Text “I can’t tonight

I’m tired”

Turn my phone face down

Listen to the quiet choir

Of my heartbeat slowing

Of my breath staying true

I’ll make a little room inside

For me to come back through
