Circuit of Me (Alchemix)

[Intro Instrumental] [Verse 1] I fed the feed till morning, eyes like sand, coffee rings on the desk. Played the room while running on empty, smiled for the pic, swallowed the rest. I handed out color like flyers, let the room take pieces of me ’til the quiet said my name in a way the noise never could be. [Pre-Chorus] Stagelight heat, late train passing, breath comes back in threes. What I keep, I get to choose I’m cutting loose, on my feet. [Chorus] I step out of the glare, wash the buzz from my head. They don’t own my voice my tempo’s mine again. I unplug the demand, let my hands find the knot. What I give, I choose my tempo’s mine again. [Break] [Verse 2] They wanted one more version, another smile on cue. But silence let the shoulders drop, and something honest came through. The whisper that said “Give till it hurts” doesn’t get the room tonight I trade that weight for melody, and keep the keys to the light. [Pre-Chorus] Hallway hush, stairwell reverb, count it slow ...one, two, three. I’m not a loop they trigger; I’m the one who owns me. [Chorus] I step out of the glare, wash the buzz from my head. They don’t own my voice my tempo’s mine again. I unplug the demand, let my hands find the knot. What I give, I choose my tempo’s mine again. [Break] My tempo’s mine again. [Bridge] In ...two ...three, out ...two ...three, let the rush run past. No altar of approval, no meter charging tax. If meaning costs a portion, I’ll pay what I intend no more than love can carry, no less than what I am. [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] I step out of the glare, wash the buzz from my head. They don’t own my voice my tempo’s mine again. I unplug the demand, let my hands find the knot. What I give, I choose my tempo’s mine again. [Outro Instrumental] What I give, I choose my tempo’s mine again. What I give, I choose my tempo’s mine again. What I give, I choose my tempo’s mine again. [End]
