TRIGGER

One small detail, any shadow at all
Turns the room into an ambush
The world just keeps spinning normal
While I fight against nothing

I know it's irrational, they always tell me
As if knowing could erase the fear
My body's already decided to run
Before my mind understands the plot

Trigger
One second and it all collapses
Control slips through my fingers
In a threat only I could see
Trigger
I don't choose when it fires
I only know how to run, how to shake
From a war no one else declares

I explain, but no one understands
How something so small weighs so much
I carry maps of places and things
I've decided to avoid, without surprise

Fear doesn't ask for logic, it only demands the whole body
Every trigger is an abyss only I see, only I carry

Trigger
One second and it all collapses
Control slips through my fingers
In a threat only I could see
Trigger
I don't choose when it fires
I only know how to run, how to shake
From a war no one else declares

And the trigger waits
Hidden in the everyday
