[Intro — Higher self- (male and female voices becoming one)] I know what you've done inside me. I've carried every mark. But I remember something you've both forgotten Nobody enters this world without the spark [Verse 1 — Female Voice] I see the hunger underneath the hunger, The one no smoke could satisfy. Every high just buys a little distance From the you, you couldn't look in the eye. Maybe somewhere pain became a language You learned to silence instead of speak. So you disappear inside the wanting, Then call disappearing, your peace. But you are more than what you reach for When being here becomes too much. There is still a life beneath the numbness That hasn't forgotten how to feel a touch. [Verse 2 — Male Voice] And I see the war beneath the anger, Every weapon pointed back within. Rage turned inward becomes a prison, One where innocence gets sentenced with him. You wear a different face for every mirror, Hoping one might finally feel like skin. Buying moments that resemble being wanted Believing you wont get them being him. But attention purchased isn't acceptance. And being needed isn't being known. You can fill a thousand empty hands And still be completely alone. [Pre-Chorus — Both voices-male and female voices] Two souls screaming the same damn question In completely different ways: If you saw everything I hide... Would you still choose to stay? [Chorus] You don't have to die to become somebody new. You don't have to Kill what is true just to prove that you are burning too. There are parts beneath the wreckage that never needed to be erased. They were waiting for somebody to see through the pain they made No mask. No price. No running somewhere else. to find the love your begging from the world is by starting not to abandon yourself. [Verse 3] Some people rage. Some people numb. some create their cage from the pain they run from Some become whatever gets them chosen to bury and disguise the one behind their eyes. We learn a thousand ways to leave ourselves without ever leaving the room. Then wonder why we're attracting those who only care to consume and baby, let me say they will always be a mirror of you I cannot make you choose another life. I cannot tell you whats right But I can tell you what I see beneath everything you've used to survive: Something is still there. Not innocent of the damage. Not excused from what is fair Not the one you have to manage Just alive enough that this doesn't have to be the only story it becomes but one that sets you free [Bridge — higher self return-male and female voices] I've held your secrets. I've held your screaming. I've watched you run and watched you hide. But walls know something about rebuilding— You don't demolish everything because one room died. You find what's rotten. You pull it open. You let the hidden damage breathe. Then piece by piece, with your own two hands, you decide what remains... and what you're finally ready to leave. [Final Chorus — both voices, (male and female voices becoming one, HUGE)] You don't have to die to become somebody new. But nobody can do the choosing that belongs alone to you. Bring the buried to the surface. Let the false shit lose its name. It will hurt to meet the person you've spent your whole life trying to escape. But if you ever turn around and finally reach within it might be shock at what's found A life thats waiting to begin it doesn't need a substance, it doesn't need resistance, it doesn't need abundance to prove that it deserves existence. [Outro — Higher self- (male and female voices becoming one)] I know what happened here. your way of justification. the wreckage you helped steer an innocent soul destroyed by your determination, But I will never mistake what you've become to survive while your recreate the monster you try to hide You still hold the choice to become whats true owning your mistakes and standing in a better you
