Lyrics

[Intro]
Lock clicks once and my shoulders don't rise
There's a bag by the door holding half of my life

[Verse 1]
I kept the zipper ready, teeth cold against my skin
Cash folded in a sock, emergency tucked in
Keys bit into my fist until the knuckles went white
A coat that never came off, I slept dressed for flight

[Build]

[Chorus]
I'm done living packed to run
So I unpack the bag by the door
I'm done living packed to run

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I practiced exits nightly, counted steps to the street
I mapped the quiet hours when the stairs wouldn't creak
Now drawer by drawer I give those plans to the floor
Shoes stay by the mat, my coat hangs, I'm not at the door

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I'm done living packed to run
So I unpack the bag by the door
No more half goodbyes loaded in a drawer
I'm done living packed to run

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I hang the keys on a nail, teach my hand to unclench
The bag lies open and quiet, and the room makes sense

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
So I unpack the bag by the door
