Underneath the Avalanche (Indie-Pop Gentle)

[Verse 1] Dishes in the sink for days Phone on silent Bills unpaid Scroll until my eyes feel strange Say “I’m fine” and never change [Pre-Chorus] But I’m tired of playing strong Like I don’t feel it when it’s wrong Like I’m the only one who ever falls apart [Chorus] Underneath the avalanche Breathing in the breaking glass It’s okay to say “I’m not okay” I don’t have to wear a mask If my hands shake when I ask for help That’s still brave as hell Yeah It counts as fighting back Underneath the avalanche [Verse 2] Laundry mountain on the chair Friends all think I’m never there Cancel plans and disappear Talk to ceilings more than mirrors [Pre-Chorus] But you text “Hey Are you home?” “Want me there Or want the phone?” I don’t answer But you’re already in the car (hey) [Chorus] Underneath the avalanche Breathing in the breaking glass It’s okay to say “I’m not okay” I don’t have to wear a mask If my hands shake when I let you in That’s still how the healing starts Yeah It counts as finding light Underneath the avalanche [Bridge] Some days just getting out of bed Is a medal on my chest (oh yeah) Some nights just staying here Is the loudest “I exist” [Chorus] Underneath the avalanche Breathing in the breaking glass It’s okay to say “I’m not okay” I don’t have to wear a mask If my voice cracks when I tell the truth That’s still something new Yeah It counts as coming back Underneath the avalanche
