[Guzheng alone] Four notes Again [Sub-bass answers] I move through the noise And listen for truth Everybody got a signal Everybody got proof Everybody got a story They can sell if it fits I learned more from the questions Than I did from the hits [Chorus] Through the noise Through the noise I don't need you To tell me what I know Show me the thread Show me where it goes I listen I test Then I follow [Rap] Saw a sign on the corner Didn't call it divine Saw the same thing tomorrow So I wrote down the time Gut said look Mind said wait Heart said run I said— Hold up Let it demonstrate 'Cause a feeling can be sacred And still get it wrong A beautiful idea Can still lead you on So I keep intuition Sitting right by the wheel But discernment rides shotgun Asking— Is it real? [GUZHENG RIFF] I ain't scared of the shadow Let the dark come speak Anything I keep burying Keeps burying me Put the mirror on the table Let it show what it shows You don't kill what's underneath you You meet it Then grow [Chorus] Through the noise Through the noise I don't need you To tell me what I know Show me the thread Show me where it goes I listen I test Then I follow [Bridge — guzheng and voice] Faith without reason Can make a man blind Reason without wonder Can close up his mind So I leave room for mystery But mystery ain't king If you tell me it's truth— Show me something [Silence] [SUB-BASS DROP] [Final Rap] I don't chase every pattern I don't kneel to a sign I can follow the rhythm Without calling it mine I can question the road And still walk when it's time No certainty needed Just a reason And spine I listen I test I learn I build [Guzheng answers each phrase] Heart open Eyes open Hands on the wheel I don't ask the whole world To tell me what's real I move through the noise And listen For truth [Guzheng plays four-note motif] [Sub answers] AETERNUM
