Voicemails to Myself

[Trap soul]

[Intro – Voicemail tone + static]
“Hey… it’s me. Just checkin’ in. I know you don’t like talkin’ back, but… I’m listenin’ if you ever feel like sayin’ somethin’.”

⸻

[Verse 1]
Some nights I talk like somebody’s there,
But it’s just me and the echo in air.
Left messages I’ll never replay,
Little reminders that I’m tryin’ to stay.

I don’t know who I am half the time,
Just reflections and verses and lies.
But I tell myself, “You made it this far,”
Even when I feel shattered in parts.

⸻

[Hook]
These are voicemails to myself,
Little calls I never make.
Thoughts I box up on a shelf,
Just to make it through the ache.

I don’t answer like I used to,
But I still hope I’m heard.
Even if no one hits me back,
I’ll keep leavin’ myself these words.

⸻

[Verse 2]
“Don’t forget to breathe,”
“Don’t fall for ease,”
“Don’t give that pain a lease —
It don’t get to own your peace.”

Yeah, I say that in my head,
When I’m drownin’ in the bed.
When anxiety got me locked up
And my phone’s full of left-on-read.

⸻

[Bridge – Voicemail FX filter]
“Hey Kal… you still here?
You still fightin’? Still pushin’ past fear?
I know it’s hard. I know you tired.
But even fire needs dark to rise.”

⸻

[Hook – repeat softly]
These are voicemails to myself,
Little calls I never make.
Thoughts I box up on a shelf,
Just to make it through the ache.

Even if I sound broken,
Even if the line goes dead…
At least I showed up for me —
With every word I never said.

⸻

[Outro – Voicemail tone fades]
“I love you. Don’t hang up on yourself.”
