I’m the Danger! ⚠️

V6

[INTRO – bright repeating strings over a ticking beat] Something's coming. Where? Straight at us. What is it? ... Oh. It's me. [VERSE 1] Spent half my life Checking the exits Weather and traffic Worst-case projections Eyes on the distance Ear to the ground Waiting for something To come fuck around Plan for the problem Plan for the plan Plan what I'll do When it happens again Brace for impact Duck and defend Whole world approaching Again And again Then one morning Caught my reflection Moving the opposite Fucking direction Wait— If everything Is coming for me Then technically I'm coming For everybody [LIFT] Head up Feet down Something changed When I turned around Same old world Same strange day But now I'm moving Its way [CHORUS] I'M THE DANGER! ⚠️ NOT THE WARNING NOT THE SIGN I'M NOT WAITING FOR THE WORLD THE WORLD CAN WAIT FOR MINE I'M THE DANGER! HERE I COME NOT TO BURN IT NOT TO RUN I SPENT SO LONG ASKING WHAT'S COMING FORGOT I'M COMING TOO [VERSE 2] Future looked mean So I stared it down Turns out future Wasn't fucking around Had no clipboard Had no plan Didn't even know Who the fuck I am Fear had maps With giant red X's Routes to avoid And probable wreckage Funny how none Of those diagrams showed What happens When I pick My own fucking road Not invincible Not bulletproof Still got bills And a busted tooth Still get tired Still get scared Difference is I'm also there [LIFT] Heart beats Strings climb One more step At exactly my time No prophecy No grand design Just motion And some of it Is mine [CHORUS] I'M THE DANGER! ⚠️ NOT THE WARNING NOT THE SIGN I'M NOT WAITING FOR THE WORLD THE WORLD CAN WAIT FOR MINE I'M THE DANGER! HERE I COME NOT TO BURN IT NOT TO RUN I SPENT SO LONG ASKING WHAT'S COMING FORGOT I'M COMING TOO [INSTRUMENTAL – cello pulse accelerates; violins climb in repeating figures; guitar and organ lock into the groove] [BRIDGE – everything drops away] Am I dangerous? ... Probably not In the traditional sense. [pause] But I make things. I change things. I show up. I say no now. Sometimes. I say yes When nobody asked. I start shit That didn't exist yesterday. And tomorrow Has to deal with it. [heartbeat] That counts. [VERSE 3] So let the horizon Keep doing its thing Storms gonna storm Phones gonna ring Something goes wrong Something goes right Something inevitably Needs me tonight Fine. But I'm not Just standing here Receiving whatever Arrives every year I leave fingerprints I make noise I fuck up I make choices Everywhere danger Maybe that's true But everywhere Includes me too [FINAL CHORUS] I'M THE DANGER! ⚠️ NOT THE WARNING I'M ALIVE NOT EVERYTHING THAT CHANGES ME GETS TO DECIDE WHAT I BECOME I'M THE DANGER! HERE I GO DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHERE THIS ROAD GOES I SPENT SO LONG WATCHING THE HORIZON glow NOW THE HORIZON CAN WATCH ME GO [OUTRO – bright strings keep moving] Something's coming. Yeah. You worried? ... Nah. I know that guy.
