[Intro] [Opening] So many things half-said So many truths bent thin Words used to soften edges Until nothing’s clear again [Verse 1] When names get traded for excuses Nothing knows its place Harm hides behind good intentions And calls itself a mistake Facts blur into feelings Stories change with the room What happened gets reshaped Until no one knows what’s true [Pre-Chorus] There’s a steadiness in naming Without raising a voice A way to set things down plainly And still leave room for choice [Chorus] Naming isn’t cruelty It’s how the ground holds firm Truth doesn’t need to punish To finally be heard Clarity isn’t violence It doesn’t sharpen blame Nothing heals in confusion Until it has a name [Verse 2] Careful words replace the facts So no one feels too seen Language bends to keep the peace But peace turns paper-thin Apologies without shape Promises without weight Everything sounds gentle But nothing really changes [Bridge] Naming is not shouting It’s not the need to win It’s not a verdict or a weapon Or a closing in Naming is a marker So no one gets erased So what was crossed can be acknowledged And not repeated by mistake [Final Chorus] Naming isn’t cruelty It’s how repair begins What’s spoken clear and honestly Can finally be mended Clarity doesn’t harden hearts It gives them something true What we’re brave enough to name Is what can move us through [Outro] The air steadies The lines hold What was named Can change [(music fades out)]
