Crowded Room Behind My Eyes

[Verse 1]
I count the locks, then count again
The kettle clicks; I check the door
A thought arrives in borrowed clothes
And leaves its fingerprints on every room

[Pre-Chorus]
My hands say run
My feet stay planted
I make a map
Then doubt the planet

[Chorus]
There’s a crowded room behind my eyes
Every voice has learned my name
One says hide, one says you’ll be fine
One keeps feeding sparks to the flame
I hold the wheel; it turns in place
I lose the thread, I lose the day
If I can hear you through this noise
Tell me I’m still here, still here

[Verse 2]
I wear my doubt like Sunday clothes
Too neat to show the seams beneath
I hear a laugh and make it proof
That I’m the joke they didn’t have to tell

[Pre-Chorus]
The floor goes soft
The walls lean closer
I chase a thought
It changes over

[Chorus]
There’s a crowded room behind my eyes
Every voice has learned my name
One says hide, one says you’ll be fine
One keeps feeding sparks to the flame
I hold the wheel; it turns in place
I lose the thread, I lose the day
If I can hear you through this noise
Tell me I’m still here, still here

[Bridge]
Some mornings weigh a hundred pounds
Some nights refuse to close
I don’t need answers dressed as truth
Just stay until the weather goes

[Final Chorus]
There’s a crowded room behind my eyes
Every voice has learned my name
One says hide, one says you’ll be fine
One keeps feeding sparks to the flame
I hold the wheel; it turns in place
But somewhere through the blur, I stay
If I can hear you through this noise
Tell me I’m still here, still here

[Outro]
Count the locks
Let the kettle cool
Stay right here
I’m still here
