About Waking Up (On the Floor)

Between the verses, the spoken section rips away the last layer of pretense. It’s the admission that all the self-help frameworks and mental health scripts don’t actually catch you when you drop… they just give you vocabulary for why it’s “normal” to drown. The world doesn’t pause for you. The sun rises whether you want it to or not. And after hours of crying into the floorboards, you’re left with the one truth nobody escapes:

it doesn’t really matter how you feel about it—life keeps going anyway.

Lyrics

I've been crushed by the framework
 
Closing In
 
Held captive by these feelings
 
Breathing
 
So I can feel something reverberate
 
Screaming
 
To see if my soul sticks to anything
 
 
 
Waking up on the floor
 
Higher than I've been before
 
I don't really wanna care what I feel about it
 
I don't really wanna care what I feel about it
 
Waking up on the floor
 
The cut burns more now
 
Than it did before
 
I don't really wanna care what I feel about it
 
I don't really wanna care what I feel about it
 
 
 
I've was crushed by the framework
 
Closing In
 
Can't exorcise these demons
 
Now the day is done
 
And I always knew this night would come
 
Fading
 
When I swore these colors never run
 
 
 
Waking up on the floor
 
It hurts more now than it did before
 
Waking up on the floor
 
It hurts more now than it did before
 
 
 
I got crushed by the frameworks
 
Closing In
 
Trapped here with all my best friends
 
Breathing
 
So we can feel something reverberate
 
Choking
 
On the rot that's piled up on our plate
 
 
 
Waking up on the floor
 
Higher than I've been before
 
I don't really wanna care what I feel about it
 
I don't really wanna care what I feel about it
 
Waking up on the floor
 
It bleeds more now
 
Than it did before
 
I don't really wanna care what I feel about it
 
I don't really wanna care what I feel about it
