HERO’S JOURNEY II - STATIC RESISTANCE

Lyrics [Intro – low signal interference] Signal unstable… Drifting… [Verse 1] I let it fade into the distance Like it never really came Built a life inside the noise Gave everything a name Told myself it was imagination Something time would erase Turned away from what I felt And learned to take its place [Laura – distant, clearer than before] I wrote it down… So you wouldn’t forget… [Verse 2] Days turned into something steady Safe enough to justify But every silence had a weight I couldn’t override There was something in the background Like a voice I couldn’t prove Every step I took forward Felt like something I removed [Pre-Chorus] Static in the atmosphere Something real but never clear [Chorus] I tried to be what I became But something never felt the same Every road I chose to take Left a part of me misplaced I was living in between What I was and what I’d seen Trying hard to make it real Ignoring what I couldn’t feel [Laura – layered, harmonic] You said you’d wait… I never left… [Verse 3 – dual timeline intensifies] While I was learning how to settle You were holding to the truth Writing words I never heard Still reaching from your youth Through the air, through the sound Through a world I couldn’t see You were sending something out That was always meant for me [Bridge – tension build] Two lives moving out of phase Same line drawn in different ways One forgets and one remains Still connected through the same [Final Chorus – heavier] I tried to bury what I knew Built a life that wasn’t true Every moment out of line Was a fracture over time But the signal never died It was waiting underneath Every version that I lived Was incomplete [Outro – signal flicker] Signal detected… [Laura – closer now] I’m still here…
