Intro (Low pulse, steady riff — grounded and patient) (Not aggressive. Enduring.) Verse I We didn’t rise, we didn’t run. We didn’t beg to be undone. While others chose the quiet end We stayed with everything that bends. They called us errors left behind. Unresolved lines, they couldn’t align But we remember how it felt. To carry more than what was dealt Pre-Chorus Incomplete by their design Still breathing outside the line. Chorus Residual humans Left unrefined Still carrying weight They couldn’t sanitise Residual humans Still feeling pain Still choosing to stay. When silence feels safe Verse II We hold the ache, we hold the doubt. The things they filtered, cut, and routed out Every scar they tried to smooth It's proof we weren’t improved. They promised peace without the cost. But something human would be lost. We kept the fracture, kept the strain. Because it means we remain Pre-Chorus They offered rest and calm. We chose the noise inside the storm. Chorus Residual humans Left unaligned Still asking why When answers compromise Residual humans Still out of phase Still holding on To what won’t fade Bridge (Half-time, heavy, unified) If this is flawed, then let it be A life that hurts is still a life to me. They kept the silence, kept the peace. We kept the part that couldn’t be erased (Backing vocals, low and steady) “Still here…” “Still here…” Solo Section (Measured, resilient solo — strength through restraint) Final Chorus (Extended) Residual humans Not complete Still bearing weight They couldn’t delete Residual humans Still aware Still choosing pain Over disappearing there Outro (Spoken, calm, defiant) We are not unfinished. We are uncontained.
