somebody reach me

Verse 1

Somewhere inside me
There’s a voice
Saying I still got
A choice
But the ceiling’s caving
I can’t find the door
I’m stuck in my head
I can’t take much more

[Pre-Chorus (quiet, rushed, almost spoken]

Feels like the walls closing in
I’m fading fast
I don’t know how
To make this last
Please…
Somebody hear me now

[Chorus (restrained, breaking]

Somebody reach me
I’m falling apart
I’m screaming for mercy
Bleeding in the dark
No one sees the war
No one at all
I’m drowning alone
Got nowhere to fall
Please, somebody reach me
Somebody reach me
Just pull me out
…pull me out

Verse 2

If there’s a God up there
Did He forget my name?
If there’s a plan
Why it always feels the same
I followed the signs
They didn’t lead nowhere good
I pray for tomorrow
Still stuck where I stood

[Pre-Chorus 2 (even softer, intimate]

If someone’s watching
Do they see this mess?
Or am I just noise
In the emptiness?
I’m trying to be
Who I’m supposed to become
But I don’t even know
Who I am…
Who I am anymore

[Chorus (slightly fuller, still intimate]

Somebody reach me
I’m falling apart
Screaming for mercy
Bleeding in the dark
No one sees the war
No one at all
I’m drowning alone
Got nowhere to fall
Please, somebody reach me
Somebody reach me
Just pull me out
…pull me out

[Bridge (spoken, close mic — barely melodic]

They tell me, “just give it time”
Like time knows what’s on my mind
I smile, say I’m okay
But the dark’s got more to say
Than anything they say
…anyway

[Final Chorus (most desperate, voice cracking]

Somebody reach me
I’m falling apart
I’m screaming for mercy
Bleeding in the dark
No one sees the war
No one at all
I’m drowning alone
Got nowhere to fall
Please… somebody reach me
Please… somebody reach me
Just pull me out
…pull me out

[Outro bare piano, breath between lines]

Yeah…
Just pull me out
