Deadbolt Harvest Revival

[Intro, Sparse guitar, Distant cello hum] Revival tent lit up like sin I watch the neighbors drink it in But I’m inside, sorting through the mess Of what I kept and what I left [Verse 1] Boxes stacked with too much weight Letters I never could translate Didn’t come here for the praise or show Just trying to breathe and still not let it go [Chorus, Minimal percussion builds, Cello swells] They call it revival — singin’ loud like they’re saved But I’m behind this door, counting what I gave Deadbolt’s on — not out of spite, just need You don’t fake healing, you let yourself bleed [Verse 2] Corn’s all gone, barns stand bare Everyone smiles like they don’t care Say “just show up,” and that’ll make it right But I won’t wear joy just to survive the night [Pre-Chorus, Whispered harmony, Bare guitar] I burned the script, I broke the frame I’m not a wreck — I just quit the game [Chorus, Louder, voice cracked open] They call it revival — but it feels like noise While they clap and cheer, I reclaim my voice Deadbolt’s tight — not shame, not fear Just my way of saying I’m still here [Bridge, Spoken softly, cello rising] Not everything’s meant to bloom again Some truths stay buried — that’s not a sin Let ‘em dance, let ‘em raise their hands I’ll be here, naming the parts they can't stand [Chorus, Final, slow and powerful] They call it revival — but mine’s not clean No white light visions, no in-between Deadbolt’s still on, and maybe that’s okay Healing ain’t a chorus — it’s walking away [Outro, Fading cello, breathy line] Let ‘em sing for the field I’ll harvest what’s real
