Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] I walk in Counting exits Clock the room in thirty frames Every laugh Every side glance Feels like thunder in my veins I hear stories in their silence Catch the truth behind each shrug Carry strangers’ weather with me Like a coat that’s always soaked [Chorus] It’s a quiet load Living in my head like this Heart tuned high Brain in overdrive Yeah It cuts and it comforts Reading every hidden line I’m too deep in the crowd But alone in the light It’s a quiet load Being built like this inside [Verse 2] I see patterns in their sentences Little glitches in their smiles Solve equations of their hurting Before they even see the signs I could fix it I could say it But I’m scared I talk too much So I swallow every warning Till the acid burns my gut [Chorus] It’s a quiet load Living in my head like this Heart tuned high Brain in overdrive Yeah It cuts and it comforts Reading every hidden line I’m too deep in the crowd But alone in the light It’s a quiet load Being built like this inside [Bridge] They say “Man up Stop thinking” Like it’s just a switch to flip Don’t know what it costs me Just to let their sorrow sit I’m the ocean in a teacup Overflowing Held so small Too sharp Too soft Too watchful I’m exhausted by it all (yeah) [Chorus] It’s a quiet load Living in my head like this Heart tuned high Brain in overdrive Yeah It cuts and it comforts Reading every hidden line I’m too deep in the crowd But alone in the light It’s a quiet load Being built like this inside [Outro] I’m not broken Just wide open Too aware for my own peace If you ask me how I’m doing I might answer in a breeze But if you really sit here close You’ll hear storms behind my eyes It’s a quiet load I carry Still I carry it with pride

Intimate alt-R&B ballad with male vocals; soft electric piano and warm sub-bass, brushed drums, and airy pads. Verses stay close and confessional, almost whispered; chorus widens with stacked harmonies and a gentle choir pad. Bridge strips to keys and vocal, then final chorus swells with subtle guitar swells and reverb-kissed ad-libs., low
