Almost Like it Knew (Grunge)

[Verse 1] I spent my life with a map in my hands drawing lines in the sand like I had a plan Every step calculated every breath like it mattered like I could command where I land But the road don’t care and the sky don’t answer just stares like it don’t understand Now I’m standing still in the middle of motion like a ghost in a body that I can’t stand [Verse 2] You beg for rain in a drought-struck season watch it roll in black like a promised relief But it floods your bones and it drags you under now you’re choking down everything you believed I said I wanted truth like a man needs blood but it cut too deep now I’m grinding my teeth Every answer burns like a brand on skin and it never heals it just buries me underneath [Pre-Chorus] Every time I get close it shifts out of frame Like a voice in the static calling my name [Chorus] It’s almost like it knew where I’d go before I moved Every door I choose turns into something I can’t use I hold it like it’s mine but it breaks right on the cue Yeah it bends every line like there’s nothing I can do I don’t scream I just sink let it tighten like a noose Yeah it’s almost like it knew [Verse 3] I built it up from nothing just to watch it collapse like it wanted to prove me wrong Every nail every scar every inch of belief now it’s dust in a place I don’t belong You can chase what you love you can swear it’s enough but it drags like a deadweight song Now I carry it slow like a cross in the heat but the road just keeps dragging on [Pre-Chorus] Every time I adjust it rewrites the rules Like it feeds off the weight of the things I choose [Chorus] It’s almost like it knew where I’d go before I moved Every door I choose turns into something I can’t use I hold it like it’s mine but it breaks right on the cue Yeah it bends every line like there’s nothing I can do I don’t scream I just sink let it tighten like a noose Yeah it’s almost like it knew You wanted control now you’re stuck in the spin Wanted a way out now you’re buried within Wanted it clear now it’s cutting your sight Wanted the truth now you’re losing the fight Dig it in deeper let it settle in bone Everything built now it’s breaking its own No way to fix it no way to undo Just you and the weight of what’s coming for you [Bridge] Maybe it’s not what I thought it was Maybe it never was mine because Every direction I tried to take Turned into something I couldn’t escape [Final Chorus] It’s almost like it knew every doubt before it grew Every hope I held turned into something untrue I keep reaching out but it’s slipping like it’s glued To the edge of a life I was never getting through I don’t fight I just fade like there’s nothing left to prove Yeah it’s almost like it knew [Outro] Single guitar line repeating, slightly detuned feel It knew… (before I ever knew)
