V5.5

[Verse 1] Thoughts are the words your brain is speaking Quiet sentences stacking deep inside Every private story, every mental reading Writes the weather living right behind your eyes You don’t gotta believe every line they write You get to choose which ones you keep alive [Pre-Chorus] Feelings are the language your body knows They rise without asking, hit in heavy waves Heart and gut and skin all speaking slow Saying what the mind is still afraid to say [Chorus] Thoughts are the vocabulary of the brain Feelings are the vocabulary of the body What you think and what you feel Is writing who you’re being right now You don’t have to fight the whole vocabulary Just notice the words and the way they sound ’Cause how you think and how you feel Creates the state of being you’re standing in [Verse 2] Some days the brain is loud with old rehearsals Replaying every almost, every almost-fail Some days the body carries quiet burdens Heavy without a single word to explain It’s honest, it’s human, nothing left to shame You’re allowed to feel it and still choose again [Pre-Chorus] You don’t have to silence every feeling Or force a brighter thought that isn’t real Just listen with a little more kindness And let the true ones help you heal [Chorus] Thoughts are the vocabulary of the brain Feelings are the vocabulary of the body What you think and what you feel Is writing who you’re being right now You don’t have to fight the whole vocabulary Just notice the words and the way they sound ’Cause how you think and how you feel Creates the state of being you’re standing in [Rap Verse] Yo, listen close — Thoughts spit the script, brain’s vocabulary Feelings hit the body like a secondary battery Mind talkin’ slick, body keepin’ receipts Together they decide the state you live and breathe Ain’t gotta be perfect, ain’t gotta pretend Some days the inner voice is more foe than friend But you the editor, you the one with the pen Cross out the lies, rewrite the next ten Feel that tightness in the chest? That’s the body speakin’ Don’t gaslight the signal, don’t keep it on mute Acknowledge the message, then choose the next move ’Cause every thought you water is a seed you plant Every feeling you honor is a chance to advance From the low to the rise, from the dark to the light You buildin’ your being one honest bar at a time Real talk, no filter, no fairy-tale glaze Just truth in the mirror and a better way [Bridge] It’s humbling when you finally see it clear You’re not your every thought, you’re not your every tear You’re the one who hears them both The quiet space that still gets to choose Meet the heavy ones with softer eyes And slowly change the story you live through [Final Chorus] Thoughts are the vocabulary of the brain Feelings are the vocabulary of the body What you think and what you feel Is writing who you’re being right now So speak a little kinder to yourself Feel what’s real and still keep rising somehow ’Cause how you think and how you feel Creates the state of being you’re standing in [Outro] You’re standing in it… You’re rewriting it… One true thought, one honest feeling at a time. Yeah… vocabulary.
