As for the lyrics, I heard once that human beings are rather like babies in their dirty diapers: too often we'd rather sit in our crap than be changed. While I'd like to think that I have adult issues and understandings, I'm not sure it's always true.
Lyrics
stay here
forgiveness is an uphill climb 🧗
still aching so I take my time
can’t go back down
but I don’t want to move ahead
even with muscles straining I feel venom rise again
Isn’t silence better
Wiser than the same old angry words?
my defense, my attempt to keep my distance
A thin disguise indeed
words that you see through
Between two awkward stages
I try hard not to move
If I can just stay here
be angry
do nothing
be angry
do nothing
hope is a thing to drive away
consistently it has betrayed me
I won’t do that again
but it follows close behind me
and what it needs
it carries with it
the whisper-quiet counsel wears me down
why can’t I just stay here
be angry
do nothing
be angry
do nothing new at all?
Don't stay here
Don’t linger in this place
Don’t stay here
Don’t linger in this place
Don’t stay here
don’t stay here
don’t linger in this place

The less-is-more arrangement works well, makes the dynamic parts very powerful. Neat detuned piano sound too.
Solid demo! Dig the cadence in your voice, the music play, and delivery. Just as powerful as all is sweet in this write, so too is all meaningful and memorable due to your ace performance of it in song!
