[Intro]
heavy air, nothing said
dark walls draw my outline
(breath in, out)
[Verse 1]
I count the scuffs on the floor
my hands in fists, but I let them go
small sounds crash across the room
quiet still, but I know you know
[Pre-chorus]
did you see it coming? (or do you pretend?)
heat held down under skin
[Chorus]
Why do you always walk away
when I get loud inside?
Is there room for rage
in the space where we hide?
[Verse 2]
teeth pressing words I never send
damp palms, biting the inside
I try to talk, but it ends up thin
watch you trace a line against the blinds
[Pre-chorus]
did you see it rising? (or am I alone?)
broken rhythm in the hum
[Chorus]
Why do you always walk away
when I get loud inside?
Is there room for rage
in the space where we hide?
[Breakdown]
all the things I swallow down
hang fog so thick in this place
Are you relief or are you the lock?
Which mask should I wear on my face?
[Bridge]
Can you hear me under the noise
when my anger’s not a flame but a bruise?
Would you stay if you saw me break,
or is silence all that you choose?
[Chorus]
Why do you always walk away
when I get loud inside?
Is there room for rage
in the space where we hide?
Why do you always walk away
when I get loud inside?
Is there room for rage
or am I left outside?
[Outro]
(breath in, breath out)
I ask, but you never reply
