VERSE 1 Born underground where the crystals scream Static in my blood, bad family dream They said stay clean, don’t cross that line But the stone said touch me—so I did it mine Andy got sunlight, I got the cracks Names erased, no turning back They prayed to order, I heard the hum Something ancient said you’re the one CHORUS I’m the black sheep in a halo of dust Sacred stone broke when it trusted us You hid my name, buried the truth But the mine still breathes when I move I don’t glow, I don’t shine I survive in the faultline VERSE 2 Lantern light don’t reach this deep Time don’t sleep but it watches me They called it curse, called it wrong But the silence taught me the song Didn’t burn, didn’t bleed Stone just paused like it knew my need If that’s sin, let it be I wasn’t chosen—I answered it CHORUS I’m the black sheep in a halo of dust System cracked when it labeled us You saved the rules, I paid the price Now the future flickers twice I don’t kneel, I don’t bow I’m the echo you hear now BRIDGE (spoken / whispered, grunge-style) You can’t seal a fracture You can only pretend The mine remembers What the clock won’t amend FINAL CHORUS (distorted, emotional) I’m the black sheep, not your shame I’m the stone that spoke my name If Time breaks when I arrive Maybe it was never alive OUTRO (new age, airy, fading) Static… Stone… Breath in the dark… I was never lost— Just waiting to be marked.
