Drown Me Out

[Verse 1]
Cold sink
Face in the water till my lungs sting
Tryna push down every bad thing
But it all floats up, it all clings
Old house
Back of my mind like a ghost town
Every slammed door still rings out
Every "shut up" still too loud
[Chorus]
So I drown me out, drown me out
Turn it up louder when the pain gets proud
If I can’t hear it, maybe it ain’t real now
Drown me out, drown me out
Fill up my head till the hurt taps out
But it’s still that kid on the floor, too small to shout
[Verse 2]
Red eyes
Dark in the mirror got my dad’s eyes
Same rage sitting just behind mine
Same storm buzzing in the phone line
I drink
Till the years blur into one blink
Try to bleach blood from the white sink
But the drip, drip follows every thought I think
[Chorus]
So I drown me out, drown me out
Turn it up louder when the pain gets proud
If I can’t hear it, maybe it ain’t real now
Drown me out, drown me out
Fill up my head till the hurt taps out
But it’s still that kid on the floor, too small to shout
[Bridge] (female vocal)
You are not that house, you’re the door unlocked
You are not his voice, you’re the line he crossed
You can stand up shaking, still be standing strong
You are not your scars, you’re the one who walks
You can rise from the room where they broke you down
You can cut every chain that is tied to that sound
You are more than the pain that they poured in your bones
You can be your own shelter, you can be your own home (yeah)
[Chorus]
So don’t drown you out, drown you out (no)
Let the hurt surface, let the truth spill out
If you can feel it, then it’s leaving you now
Don’t drown you out, drown you out
Let the boy shaking finally stand up proud
You’re not that kid on the floor, you can save him now

rap, Brooding dark trap with male vocals: detuned bells, warped pads, and a heavy, crawling 808 pattern under close-mic whisper-rap in the verses. Hook hits wider with distorted bass swells, pitched vocal layers, and sharp, minimal percussion. Bridge flips to a haunting female vocal over stripped-back chords and sub, then both voices stack in the final chorus with subtle choir pads and rising risers for a cathartic lift., female vocals
