[Intro - One dry voice] One part says run. One part says wait. Both know my name. [Verse 1 - Alternating cadence] "Don't trust that smile." Maybe let them speak. "You know how this ends." I know what fear repeats. "Get out before they leave." Or ask what they meant. "Can't let them see you hurt." That's how the years got spent. Been having arguments under my breath, Making old alarms into brand-new threats. Quick voice cuts with a familiar tone, Slow voice asks if the danger's known. Same chest. Same name. Don't need every thought at the wheel again. [Build - Drum tension] I can hear it. I can pause. I can choose what happens after that. Hands steady— Bring the whole beat back! [Chorus - Shouted drop] TWO VOICES! ONE NAME! I HOLD THE WHEEL WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES! LOUD HEAD! FEET DOWN! I CHOOSE MY NEXT STEP— I CHOOSE IT NOW! [Verse 2 - Fast internal rhymes] One says react, bring the whole thing down, One says look at the people around. One wants the last word, one wants sleep, Both got a history buried deep. I used to pick sides like a war in my skull, Now I ask what they're trying to protect me from. Anger's loud, but it doesn't know all, Fear can speak without making the call. Slow my breathing. Check the room. Today's not the same as the night I knew. Some days messy, some days clear, Still got a choice in the space right here. [Bridge - Bare kick] I don't have to hate The part that kept watch. I can thank it for trying— Then decide when to stop. [Final Chorus - Maximum drums] TWO VOICES! ONE NAME! I HOLD THE WHEEL WHEN THE WEATHER CHANGES! LOUD HEAD! FEET DOWN! I CHOOSE MY NEXT STEP— I CHOOSE IT NOW! [Outro - Piano] Hear the thought. Choose the action.
