Unravel With You

When you're quiet
I still hear the sound
In the pause between your words
It's loud
You try to breathe slow
But the air runs out
Thoughts race fast till they crash
Then doubt you say you're fine
But your eyes plead wait

You're here, You're here

But you're miles from this
State of mind
And I've seen that look
I've been that face
So I stay close, just in case

If you spiral, I won't let go
Say the word, or don't
I'll still know
If you're breaking down
I'll break down too
Sit in the silence and unravel with you
All your monsters
Yeah, I've met those
Me and myself were both opposed
I'm not scared of the mess in you
I'll stay
You won't scare me off that easy

You don't have to face this shit alone tonight
I'll keep watch while you try to close your eyes
Let the demons talk, I'll drown them out
You can scream or shut down. I won't bounce. Even if you say go away
I'll stay till you're okay
Or at least halfway

I never knew how to ask for help
Every word felt like too much or not enough
So I stayed quiet
But if you can't speak I'll listen anyway

I've shaken through nights that never end
Heard my name in thoughts That weren't my friend
But I'll take the hit if it comes for you

I swear

If you spiral, I won't let go
Say the word or don't I'll still know
If you're breaking down
I'll break down too
Sit in the silence and unravel with you
I'll stay, you won't scare me off that easy
You don't have to face this shit alone tonight
Even if your voice is gone
I'll be your fight
Let the demons talk. I'll drown them out
You can scream or shut down
I won't bounce

Even if you say go away
I'll stay till you're okay
Or they fade away
If it hurts then let it
If it breaks, I'll reset it
If you vanish I'll trace every shadow till I find your face

You're not too much
You're not too far. Even if you Forget who you are
I won't

I can't promise, the dark won't come back
Can't promise I'll always know what to say
But if you're drowning in it
I'll hop in too
No life vest
No conditions
Just me
You're tired
I know but you're still breathing
And that's enough
To keep me believing

So when the dark comes back again
And you're too worn out to pretend
I'll be here
With all your ghosts
You don't ever have to fight alone
