UM.... read the lyrics before you start making fun of my friend's audio quality Hi. I’m Trippy... and I just wanna say— I really didn’t mean for any of it to happen. I try. I really do. But sometimes trying just... isn’t enough. So I try harder. But he’s still there. I wear a smile like it’s armor, hide the wires in my soul, Say “let’s begin the challenge!” while I try to stay whole. They see the fireworks, the fun, the show, But not the cracks behind the glow. Try harder, laugh louder, Pretend I'm not the spark and powder. Keep the dark behind the screen, Hold the monster in between. Try harder — it’s all I’ve got, Before the fuse forgets to stop. They called me safe, they called me kind, But they never saw what’s locked inside. I’ve burned the ones I swore to guide, And now I flinch at every smile that’s wide. He whispers lies I almost trust, Tells me “explode — it’s what you must.” You were made to end. Made to fall. You can’t fix what’s built to maul. You’re not me — you’re just a scar, But I can’t tell where you are… Try harder, scream louder, Hope I’m more than faulty powder. Seal the cracks and fake the peace, Count the seconds, beg release. Try harder — don't lose grip, Before I fall, before I— Try harder to stay stable. Try harder to smile right. Try harder to not explode… Try harder to be light. Try harder to be Trippy. Try harder to stay whole. Try harder to silence him… Try harder to have control. Try harder… Try… harder… You can’t. Why even bother. Try harder…
