[Verse 1]

They say I think about it too much,
that I care too deep, too long.
What they don’t see is where my mind is —
always keeping others strong.

A hundred times a day I wonder
how you are, where you’ve been,
if you’re safe out there somewhere,
if the world feels kind to you again.

[Pre-Chorus]

I don’t call it fear,
I call it staying awake.
My senses reach out far and wide —
I don’t leave anyone behind.

[Chorus]

This is how I feel the world
before it takes its shape.
I don’t see the road —
I see what it might break.
I sense the people
before they start to move.
Please believe me —
this is how I try to protect you.

[Verse 2]

When we’re walking side by side,
I don’t just look straight ahead.
I read the tension in the others,
the unrest inside their heads.

I feel the pressure closing in,
see the options in the flow.
I ask the wind along the street,
“Will you move?” — it answers, “Go.”

[Pre-Chorus 2]

This is no magic, no loss of control,
it’s awareness that can feel.
A quiet web of perception
guiding us through what is real.

[Chorus]

This is how I feel the world
before it takes its shape.
I hear what’s never spoken,
see what slowly fades.
I hold the space
so nothing breaks in two.
Please believe me —
I’m not doing this against you.

[Bridge]

I could have kept this to myself,
used it quietly to my gain.
But I never wanted winning
if it meant someone stayed in pain.

No deception, no proof to show,
I just wanted you to see
what it feels like living here
when everything arrives at once — in me.

[Final Chorus]

So here I am —
open and clear.
I invite you
into what I was,
and what I am
in every layer of being.
I only hope
that you can understand me.

[Outro]

I let you into my inner house,
and into this shared reality.
Not to convince you —
only so you can feel
what it’s like
to be me.
