HAVE YOU EVER?!

[LYRICS] [OPEN – CHORUS HUNCH (tease, cut-off)] Have you ever— …gone— Have you ever— …gone— (hold) —gentle— [VERSE 1 – spoken, close] I didn’t come for comfort. I came to get rinsed. To put my week somewhere it can’t follow. People keep faces polite in here, but the body tells the truth on the first kick. You can feel the room doing arithmetic: who’s watching, who’s ready, who’s pretending. I keep my mouth shut on purpose. Not mysterious — efficient. That melody shows up like a thought you didn’t choose. Small at first. Almost kind. Then it keeps returning until even the hard part of you starts answering. [PRE-CHORUS – lift, minimal] Don’t sweet-talk it. Let it cut clean. [CHORUS – sung, anthem carrier] Have you ever gone gentle right in the middle of the surge, while everything around you wants teeth, wants edge, wants hurt? Have you ever gone gentle, not soft — just in control, like calm can be a weapon when the whole place wants you raw? [DROP – minimal vocal] (choir stabs) (then bass takes over) [VERSE 2 – spoken, darker] Rage is easy. Anyone can spill. Precision costs — that’s why it’s rare. So I hold my hands steady while the low end tries to pull me apart. I don’t need a speech. I need a minute where my thoughts can’t keep up. A clean gap in the noise where my chest finally stops arguing. The melody comes back, same shape, new weight. That’s the trick. It doesn’t beg. It insists. [PRE-CHORUS – shorter] Keep it warm. Make it sting. [CHORUS – bigger, crowd-ready] Have you ever gone gentle right in the middle of the surge, while everything around you wants teeth, wants edge, wants hurt? Have you ever gone gentle, not soft — just in control, like calm can be a weapon when the whole place wants you raw? [OUTRO – half-sung, fading] Have you ever… gone gentle?
