Drip

( Verse 1 – Calm and Collected )
Woke up, same sun, same breath in my lungs,
Routine like a clock, tick-tock, it runs.
Mirror shows a face I know, but eyes look deep,
Like something underneath got lost in sleep.
Coffee burns my lips, but I don’t react,
Hands shake a little—man, it’s just the stress. That’s fact.
Bills stack, time drags, voices in the static,
Maybe I just need to chill—quit being so dramatic.
( Verse 2 – Doubt Creeping In )
TV talks too loud—wait, was it even on?
Streetlights flicker Morse code, spelling What’s wrong?
Shadows at the edges whisper names I don’t know,
Déjà vu looping like a scratched-out show.
Phones ring—don’t answer, they know where I’ve been,
Wait, who’s they? I’m spiraling, unraveling within.
Notebook full of numbers that I swear I didn’t write,
Maybe just exhaustion, maybe I ain’t right...
( Chorus – Slipping Away )
Tick...tick...thoughts click, something’s off inside,
Drip...drip...sanity leaks, no place to hide.
Voices hum, colors run, walls start to breathe,
Am I losing my mind, or is it losing me?
( Verse 3 – Breaking Point )
Fingernails digging, skin itches like static,
Tried to scream, but my mouth filled up with black fabric.
Clock hands spin backwards, doors lead to nowhere,
Laughed at my reflection ‘cause it said I don’t care.
Street signs melting, roads loop like a curse,
Every word I try to say just comes out in reverse.
Did I write this verse, or did someone else?
Something’s laughing in my chest, but I ain’t myself.
( Bridge – Total Collapse )
Tick...tick... STOP—where’s the time?
Drip...drip... WAIT—whose blood is mine?
I see me watching me, whispering through teeth,
Am I losing my mind, or is it losing me?
( Outro – Madness Wins )
Shh...listen...do you hear them too?
They know my name, they know yours too.
Every thought I had ain't mine no more,
I ain't in my head—man, I’m on the floor.
