[Intro] [Soft ocean breeze, easy bass groove, gentle guitar skanks, light shaker, warm organ like afternoon sun] [Verse 1] They’re still staring at the dock like it lied At the boat, at the plane, at the truck on the side Someone whispers “Is this real life or art?” Someone drops a clipboard they were holding apart Laizer steps down like it’s nothing new Checks her straps like “yeah, I’m through” Yawns once, stretches like the trip was light Like she didn’t just rewrite everyone’s night [Pre-Chorus] A cat says “We thought you were gone for years” She says “I was busy, why the tears?” Another says “We thought there were three of you” She says “No, that’s just what training looks like when you’re new” [Chorus] Oh… that was the plan, nothing more Just three certifications, maybe four One for the road, one for the sea One for the sky, and all three me Oh… don’t overthink what you saw It’s just paperwork and protocol I didn’t vanish, I didn’t roam I just learned how to bring it all home [Verse 2] She leans on the dock like it’s her chair Points at the plane like “that helped me there” Points at the ship like “that was phase two” Points at the truck like “that’s what I do” Island council tries to rewrite their notes Crossing out “missing” and “ghost boat quotes” Someone mutters “we definitely overreacted” Someone else says “we were spiritually impacted” [Bridge] [Music softens, bass drops warmer, organ turns reflective] She says “I didn’t split, I stacked my time One life, three skills, one straight line Each postcard you read was just a sign That I was finishing design” [Verse 3] Now the legend starts to collapse and shift Into something simpler, less of a myth No triplets lost in some ocean game Just Laizer learning how systems name And every story they built so wide Fits back into her single ride Not magic, not mystery, not disguise Just effort seen through surprised eyes [Final Chorus] Oh… that was the plan, plain and true Nothing hidden, nothing new Just three stops on a mapped-out route And me coming back to explain it to you Oh… you don’t need theories anymore I just went out and learned what for And if it looked like I disappeared I was just getting better engineered [Outro] [Soft fading bass, gentle guitar skanks, warm organ dissolving into ocean sound] The island nods, still slightly stunned At how simple it all becomes Laizer walks off, not making a show… Just saying: “Next time, I’ll leave a note that’s less dramatic though.”
