Verse 1 I don’t bow to the noise when it fills the room I don’t rush my hands when the clocks assume Every thought has a cost, every cost a mark I don’t move in the dark without striking a spark I’ve been bent by the weight of the words I chose Cut by the truth that I already know When the ground gives way and the rules collapse I don’t reach for escape—I step through the gap ⸻ Chorus I’m a tidewalker I don’t sink, I don’t sway I don’t wait for the moment I become the way I’m a tidewalker Under fire, under breath I don’t follow the flood I walk over it ⸻ (Short instrumental pause) ⸻ Verse 2 Every move is deliberate, every step a claim I don’t trade control for comfort or fame The pressure is constant, the pull is real I answer with steel, I answer with will I’ve faced the collapse, I’ve stood through the strain I’ve found the calm inside the pain No guide, no shield, no promise above I walk on my code, I walk on my love ⸻ Pre-Chorus 2 Thought behind intention, intention shapes reason Action follows belief, measured in season ⸻ Chorus I’m a tidewalker I don’t sink, I don’t sway I don’t wait for the moment I become the way I’m a tidewalker Under fire, under breath I don’t follow the flood I walk over it ⸻ (Solo section) ⸻ Bridge No plan B No borrowed spine No false peace Just step, then time ⸻ Final Chorus I’m a tidewalker Still here, still strong I don’t bow to the current I carry the song I’m a tidewalker No surrender, no guise Thought behind intention I walk what I decide ⸻ Outro (spoken, strained, emotional and heavy) I stand… I move… I decide…
