Something's going down inside
Something unsettling is happening internally.
My head
Referencing the turmoil within the mind.
Broken promise
A commitment made that was not kept.
Put to bed in your garage
Metaphorically resolving or burying the broken promise.
I see a spine - a world in my eyes
Visualizing a central core or essence - perceiving a world through personal perspective.
Something's going down inside
Reiteration of inner turmoil.
My head
Similar to line 2, hinting at mental distress.
Stuffing softness
Sensory description of internal conflict or confusion.
But is it peace
Questioning whether the apparent tranquility is genuine or if there is an absence of feelings (like death).
Or am I dead
Questioning existence amidst conflicting emotions.
While still alive?
Pondering the paradox of feeling alive yet emotionally disconnected.
I see a spine - a world in my eyes
Reiteration of perceiving the essence or core of something.
Father meet me now at the bay

I slip and run into the shoreline
Metaphorically stumbling upon a boundary or edge.
Here in this sand I hide my face
Seeking refuge or concealment, possibly from internal struggles.
No matter
Emphasizing insignificance or futility in the context of the situation.
I believe no matter how hard you try
Belief in an inevitable outcome despite efforts to avoid it.
You will end up
Conveying a sense of being brought to a specific point regardless of attempts to resist.
Here
Final acceptance of a situation or circumstance.
