The limit
Decades of carrying everyone else’s floor. Every wall built for someone else, sleeping right behind it. The bridge is the hinge — decades of static and then one day it just stopped, and the quiet was so loud the pretending couldn’t hold. Someone said you’d changed, like that was something to mourn. This is what showing up sounds like when you’ve been buried your whole life.

Lyrics
[Prechorus - Cold Open] And it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine [Verse 1] Two words on a screen and I'm supposed to know Fix the thing they can't explain, can't name, don't want to own Three hours in the sun doing surgery on my phone Send the "done" text, get back "what's that mean?" Run the numbers honest, get told I'm running high Draw the map from memory, they ask me where's the guide Give 'em Monday through Sunday, they audit Friday night [Chorus] Everybody's got their own certain kinda limit Mine? Shit, I done lost count of hitting it Didn't bend this time, just broke the right direction Said I lost myself - nah, finally showed up [Verse 2] Carry yours and mine and don't you dare look tired Hold it all together, get told you're not required Quiet house, loud silence, nothing ever lands Do it all right-handed with your left one in the sand Every wall I built for you I'm sleeping right behind Every fire I put out, you're asking why there's smoke And somewhere in the giving I forgot I wasn't broke [Prechorus] And it's fine, it's fine, it's fine, it's fine [Chorus] Everybody's got their own certain kinda limit Mine? Shit, I done lost count of hitting it Didn't bend this time, just broke the right direction Said I lost myself - nah, finally showed up [Bridge] Decades of static and then one day it just... stopped And the quiet was so loud I couldn't pretend anymore Turns out I wasn't broken, just buried under everyone else's floor Someone said I'd changed, like that was something to mourn I smiled, said yeah And it's gonna get a whole lot worse [Final Chorus - stripped back, slower] Everybody's got their own certain kinda limit Mine? Shit, I done lost count of hitting it Didn't bend this time, just broke the right direction Said I lost myself Nah. I finally showed up. Lyrics Copyright 2026, Alexander van Rossum
