Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You say, “Talk to me” My throat turns to glass Every word that I rehearse Shatters when you ask I laugh at the wrong time Cry when I’m alone I’m a stranger in my skin Even more in your home You read my face like pages But the ink keeps running You keep circling the sentence I keep changing the subject, stuttering [Chorus] Emotions They don’t move how they’re supposed to I’m oceans But I never can expose you The storm’s inside, the sky looks fine I’m frozen You just wanna hold the real me close But I don’t even know if he’s here Emotions I don’t even know what I feel this year [Verse 2] You ask, “Are you happy?” I answer, “I’m… here” Measure life in obligations Sip my anger with my fear You touch my arm so softly Like I might dissolve You keep offering your heart I keep offering you resolve I make charts of our patterns Then I tear them apart Try to give you something honest But I only give you parts [Chorus] Emotions They don’t move how they’re supposed to I’m oceans But I never can expose you The storm’s inside, the sky looks fine I’m frozen You just wanna hold the real me close But I don’t even know if he’s here Emotions I don’t even know what I feel this year [Rap Feature] We been pacing this hallway, quiet like a truce You say, “Tell me what you’re feeling,” I just offer you the proof Read receipts, time stamps, every little move But the math in my head never adds up to a truth I was raised on “shake it off,” trained on “stay strong” Now my body screams “danger” when you ask, “What’s wrong?” Every hug feel heavy, like a borrowed coat Fits you just right but it’s tight on my throat I been scared you’ll see the static in my chest All these half-formed thoughts I can’t confess If I say “I love you,” will it sound rehearsed? If I say “I’m lost,” will you think I’m worse? I’m a maze with my own name scratched off the map You be knocking on the door, I be hiding in the back Still I’m here, two feet on your floor Trying to learn my own heart by loving you more (yeah) [Bridge] What if I’m not broken Just unread, untranslated What if every numb moment Is a feeling, just outdated Could you stay one more minute While I learn my own reflection While I name each ghost inside me Give this chaos a direction (oh) [Chorus] Emotions They don’t move how they’re supposed to I’m oceans But I never can expose you The storm’s inside, the sky looks fine I’m frozen You just wanna hold the real me close But I don’t even know if he’s here Emotions Trying to understand what I feel this year
