Loose Screws and Sunrise (Band Midtempo)

[Verse 1] Almost brushed my teeth with coffee Read the same text three times straight Left my keys inside the fridge again Called it “abstract living ” showed up late Talked too loud to fill the silence Laughed at jokes that I half felt Left my feelings in the group chat Typed “I’m fine” then hit backspace on “help” [Chorus] Some days my head’s a hallway Doors slamming Lights that buzz and fade But I still pack my pockets With tiny proofs I’m okay Receipts from days I made it out of bed A name who answered when I said “Are you up?” Loose screws and sunrise Somehow both are enough [Verse 2] Therapist said “Try some breathing” So I wheeze and count the cracks Stare at water spots on ceilings Find new continents in all the splats Scroll through strangers’ perfect breakfasts Compare my crumbs to golden toast Mute the world and hear my heartbeat Ticking like a shy applause inside my chest [Bridge] I’m not a broken story I’m a draft with messy lines Highlighter on the hard parts Margins filled with “I’ll be fine” If tomorrow feels too heavy I’ll shrink it to a sip One glass One step One shower One honest text I actually send [Verse 3] Sticky note above the doorway Says “You stayed” in crooked ink I keep tripping over laundry Proof I’m still here Proof I still think Call my friend and leave a voicemail Rambling about the clouds They text back a blurry selfie Middle of their own small crowd [Outro] If you’re listening in your bedroom With the curtains mostly drawn Take the tremor in your breathing As a drum that carries on We are not our worst days’ weather We are fingers reaching out On a night that feels like empty Finding someone else and saying “I’m here too Let’s ride it out”
