Fractured Thread

[Verse 1]
I’ve been chewing on silence like it’s breaking my teeth,
Walking the edge of a wire that cuts underneath.
I’m a breath from exploding, I’m a scream in disguise,
Cracks in my skin show the storm in my eyes.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every smile feels borrowed, every word’s a disguise,
I’m holding the pieces while the rest of me dies.
The room feels smaller, walls closing in,
It’s not patience I’m losing — it’s the mask wearing thin.

[Chorus]
I’m one second from breaking,
One word from collapse,
If I lose it tonight, I won’t ever come back.
I’m not calm, I’m not fine, I’m just hiding my sin,
The fuse is still burning, and my skin’s wearing thin.

[Verse 2]
Thoughts in my head sound like gunfire and glass,
Every shadow I chase pulls me closer to past.
I’m laughing too loudly just to cover the rage,
My mind’s a locked cell and I’m shaking the cage.

[Bridge – Breakdown]
I could snap, lose my shit,
Paint the walls with my spit,
Slam the door on the world and not care who I hit.
Going postal inside, it’s a war in my skull,
I’m a bomb with a grin and the pin’s getting dull.

[Chorus – heavier, distorted vocal idea]
I’m one second from breaking,
One word from collapse,
If I lose it tonight, I won’t ever come back.
I’m not calm, I’m not fine, I’m just hiding my sin,
The fuse is still burning, and my skin’s wearing thin.

[Outro – whispered / fading out]
I’m not patient, I’m not kind,
I’m a monster confined.
Every crack that you see is the death of a grin,
It’s not patience I’m losing…
It’s my mind wearing thin.
