Needs a Break

Intro

(da da da, da da da)

Verse

Morning hits like a door kicked in

Voices stacking, no room to begin

TV static and little feet on the run

He's nodding along like everything's fine

But the air's getting thick, lungs tight as a drum

Chorus

He needs a break, needs a break

Drowning slow in the same four walls

Swallowed by screams, swallowed by screams

Smile on his face, breaking inside

(breaking inside)

Needs a break, needs a break

Before the quiet finally calls

Verse

Dinner table turns into a war of words

Plates clatter, chairs scrape, no one heard

He laughs at the right time, passes the salt

While something inside starts to come apart

Piece by piece, no way to stop

Chorus

He needs a break, needs a break

Drowning slow in the same four walls

Swallowed by screams, swallowed by screams

Smile on his face, breaking inside

(breaking inside)

Needs a break, needs a break

Before the quiet finally calls

Bridge

One more minute, one more shout

He’s still standing but fading out

Hands in his pockets, holding the line

Nobody sees how close he is to the edge of his mind

Chorus

He needs a break, needs a break

Drowning slow in the same four walls

Swallowed by screams, swallowed by screams

Smile on his face, breaking inside

(breaking inside)

Needs a break, needs a break

Before the quiet finally calls

Outro

(da da da, da da da)

Needs a break...
