Lyrics

Intro

(ayy) skrrt, skrrt, yeah

(uuh) ayy, ayy

(ha) oh—

Verse

I wake up with the ceiling staring like it owes me somethin', (uh)

mind racin' like a engine, every thought is double-clutchin', (skrrt)

pop another pill of silence but the noise keep pushin', (ayy)

trust broke like glass, every friend turned into dust, man, I'm crushin'. (crushin')

Hands cold, phone blowin' — I ignore it, let it ring, (ring)

paranoia in my pockets, paranoia in my jeans, (jeans)

they smile in the footage, cut me out in between, (cut me out)

I learned to read the smiles as weapons, teeth behind the grin. (ha)

Sleepless, see the ceilings move like waves, tide gone wrong, (uh)

count my losses like receipts, every page is a sad song, (sad)

I used to trust my shadow, now I don't trust my own palms, (no)

I built a fortress out of silence, watch me stand but I'm on land that's gone. (gone)

Bills on the table, names on the list I can't face, (face)

I got demons in the closet tryna order up my space, (ayy)

I whisper to the mirror but the mirror don't say grace, (no)

I hit rock bottom, feel the ground mark my name in place. (mark it)

I keep my circle small, keep my circle colder, (cold)

smile for the camera, but I'm sippin' on the bolder, (bolder)

they clap when I fall, then they post the replay, (post it)

I laugh with my chest like it's light, but it's heavy in the way. (ha)

Pre-chorus

Woke up in a room full of people but I'm still alone, (alone)

voices in my head trade secrets like a dog with bones, (bone)

I learned to trust the silence, learned to wear it like a tone, (wear it)

but loneliness don't cut, it carves, it chills me to the bone. (to the bone)

Chorus

Trust no one, trust no one, trust no one, trust no one, (trust)

I hit rock bottom, I hit rock bottom, I hit rock bottom, I hit rock bottom, (bottom)

Trust no one, trust no one, trust no one, trust no one, (no)

I hit rock bottom, I hit rock bottom, I hit rock bottom, I hit rock bottom. (yeah)

Verse

I move like a ghost in the city, but the city don't notice, (skrrt)

anxiety in my pocket like a brick that keeps me focused, (focused)

heartbeat like a drumline in a war I never chose, (boom)

I read the room like a map but every road is closed. (closed)

Mama prayin' on the couch, call her every other night, (mom)

tell her that I'm breathin' even when the breath don't feel right, (breathe)

I spit bars like confessions, therapy with a mic, (mic)

but the applause don't fix the nights I'm livin' like a heist. (ha)

Said I wanted freedom, didn't know it cost this much, (cost)

spent my trust on paper promises and empty touch, (touch)

my phone screen is a mirror of a life I can't clutch, (can't)

friends switch like channels when the credits run thin as such. (switch)

I keep a blade of honesty but I sharpen it for me, (sharp)

cut the ties, cut the shows, cut the noise off the feed, (cut)

Lonely table, empty plate, I
