About this track

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
