Down

"Still Within" is a quiet, fierce portrait of memory slipping away—painful, truthful moments of confusion folded into flashes of clarity. The voice owns the fragile knowing: terrified and steady at once. It’s a song about losing pieces, not identity.

***** Lyrics *****

Verse 1
I open my mouth, but the word slips away,
It lingers like mist at the edge of the day.
The thought was right here, it was mine to hold,
Now it drifts off, as if it was already told.

Chorus
I know I’m losing it, piece by piece,
Threads of my memory pulled by disease.
It’s a cruel kind of knowing, a slow retreat,
I’m losing it. I know it, but I’m still complete.

Verse 2
The logic turns fuzzy, the numbers don’t stay,
I ask myself why, then the thought slips away.
I start something simple, forget halfway through,
I know what I’m losing, I know what I knew.

Chorus
I know I’m losing it, piece by piece,
Threads of my memory pulled by disease.
It’s a cruel kind of knowing, a slow retreat,
I’m losing it. I know it, but I’m still complete.

Verse 3
I’d join the conversation, but my words jumble up,
When one word seems lost, I find it when I wake up.
Don't want them to see, they need to remember me
So I smile — and keep searching my memory.

Chorus
I know I’m losing it, piece by piece,
Threads of my memory pulled by disease.
It’s a cruel kind of knowing, a slow retreat,
I’m losing it. I know it, but I’m still complete.

Verse 4
Then the next minute, everything is alright,
The fog lifts away and the day feels bright.
A laugh finds its place, and the world feels at ease,
For the moment I’m back, I’m better by degrees.

Bridge (closing)
How long will this last, how long will I still know?
I see it in their faces, but I know that although
I am mentally clumsy, their love won’t wear thin.
I might fade a bit — but they know I’m still within.

Hey this is just a bunch of sounds I used in this song and a bunch of my harder songs over the last year. There is a lot of melodics and some drums and stuff. I labeled everything as best I could.

I wanted to get this out as quick as I could since I hit 1k so I don't have any cool art or anything. 

Hope you use them and enjoy! Send me any projects you used these in I would love to hear them.
