Still I Speak

😸

Social anxiety of speaking up. I know what to say, but the words don’t follow.

Decided to also put this as the fear of karaoke - Stefan Pasek. 😂

Vocals - auto-tuned me. I tried being a bit more clear in the mic.

Lyrics - Me

Music - Suno.

[Verse 1]

Deep in my thoughts

Lost in my heart

Voices get loud

They push me too far

I know what I need

I know what to say

But when it comes out

It just fades away

[Pre-Chorus]

The stares

The panic

The breathing

The waiting

It’s all closing in

[Chorus]

Pound, pound, pound

My heart drops down

Skips, breaks

I lose the sound

I’m standing here

But I can’t move

Caught between

What I know and do

[Verse 2]

The words try to come

But they don’t land right

Stuck in my throat

Every single time

Tripping my lines

Falling inside

Everything’s there

But nowhere to find

[Pre-Chorus]

No sound

No action

Still and full of angst

Right before I run

[Chorus]

Pound, pound, pound

My heart drops down

Skips, breaks

I lose the sound

I’m standing here

But I can’t move

Caught between

What I know and do

[Bridge]

The vocals come out

Stagnant and tight

Cracking apart

But I keep trying

Something shifts

I feel it turn

A little control

Starts to return

[Outro]

The confidence comes back

Not all at once

But enough to stand

Here I am

At the mic

Still shaking

But I speak

I enjoy these too much. 😅
