Somebody Show Me (The Quiet Between)

[Verse 1 – FAITH (soft, broken)] I felt it slip right through my hands The line I swore I’d never cross No thunder, no divine command Just silence… counting up the cost I wore the truth like it was mine A mask I thought I understood But in the dark I lost the line Between what’s right… and what feels good [Pre-Chorus – REASON (low, close, grounding)] No voice came down to steady you No hand to stop what you would do [Chorus – BOTH (BIG HOOK, anthemic)] Somebody show me I’m not alone Somebody tell me this isn’t my own If I’m just chasing a ghost in the dark— Why does it feel like it’s tearing my heart? Wake me up to something real (something real…) Give me a truth I can actually feel If there’s a light, don’t let it hide— Somebody… be on my side [Verse 2 – REASON (firmer, rhythmic)] You built your truth from what you feared A need to make the chaos still No grand design has interfered Just consequence… and human will You ask for meaning, something more A higher hand to take control But every answer you implore Still echoes from inside your soul [Pre-Chorus – FAITH (strained, rising)] Then why’s it louder when I fall? Why does it feel like something calls? [Chorus – BOTH (repeat, stronger, layered)] Somebody show me I’m not alone Somebody tell me this isn’t my own If I’m just chasing a ghost in the dark— Why does it feel like it’s tearing my heart? Wake me up to something real (something real…) Give me a truth I can actually feel If there’s a light, don’t let it hide— Somebody… be on my side [Bridge – DUET (Bring Me to Life-style interplay)] REASON (spoken/urgent): There is no sign, no hidden hand— You are the line, you make the stand FAITH (pleading, rising): Then why can’t I escape the weight? Why does it feel like more than fate? REASON (overlapping): You don’t need saving— FAITH (cutting in): Then why am I breaking?! BOTH (explosive): If truth is mine to justify— Why does it feel like I could die inside?! [Final Chorus – BOTH (highest energy, choir backing)] Somebody show me I’m not alone (not alone…) Somebody tell me this isn’t my own (isn’t my own…) If I’m just chasing a ghost in the dark— Why does it feel like it’s tearing my heart? Wake me up to something real (wake me up…) Give me a truth I can actually feel If there’s a light, don’t let it hide— Somebody… be on my side [Outro – FAITH (soft, fading, vulnerable)] If I’m the answer… I don’t know why… [Outro – REASON (quiet, unresolved)] Then maybe truth… is what you decide…
