[Intro] One small scrape One crooked step And the world answered back [Verse 1] I left the line without a reason Took the street they hadn’t cleared Past the polished walls and windows To a place that disappeared There were stones beneath the dust there Uneven, broken, cold Then my shoe caught on the surface And my body lost control [Pre-Chorus] My lungs opened My balance broke One imperfect second Woke me up [Chorus] There was noise beneath my feet There was friction in the street A little crack across the smoothness A little proof that I was real I looked down because I stumbled Saw the ground beneath the glow All this time the world was touching me I just didn’t know [Verse 2] There were scratches on the corner Fingerprints upon the wall Every mark had once belonged to Someone trying not to fall Nothing here had been corrected Nothing hidden, nothing clean And the damage held a story No machine had ever seen [Break] Scrape Step Breathe Again Scrape Step I am here [Bridge] Moving isn’t being carried Forward isn’t being led You give weight against the surface And the surface pushes back [Final Chorus] There is noise beneath my feet There is rhythm in the street Every step disturbs the silence Every flaw returns to me I looked down because I stumbled Now I finally understand The world begins exactly where Resistance meets my hands [Outro] One small scrape One crooked step And time began again
