⟪ SAME DIRECTION ⟫

[Intro - spoken]
Same direction (same direction)

[Verse 1] Iron filings, white paper One soft tap — they all align Shake them loose and start it over Different places, same old line

[Pre-Chorus] Paper flat, no hand in sight Still the filings find the line Nothing loud enough to name it They move before I decide

[Chorus] Scattered wide, same direction Shake it loose, start again Change the names, change the picture Still the edges lean one way
Scattered wide, same direction No instruction, no intent Take the center out completely You can’t hide the way things bend

[Post-Chorus] Same direction (same direction) Every time I let it go Same direction (same direction) Like the answer got there first
Some things already know (already know)

[Verse 2] Heard a laugh somewhere behind me Turned before I knew I’d moved Wrong voice, wrong coat, wrong evening Still the reflex followed through
Half a second, then I caught it Body first — the thought came late (too late)

[Chorus 2] Scattered wide, same direction Shake it loose, start again Change the names, change the picture Still I turn the same damn way
Scattered wide, same direction Call it chance, call it intent Call it anything you want to It won’t change the way things bend

[Post-Chorus] Same direction (same direction) Every time I let it go Same direction (same direction) Like the answer got there first
Some things already know (already know)

[Instrumental]

[Bridge] I could make an absence perfect Clean enough to fool the eye But absence has a contour And contours don’t know how to lie
(Don’t know how…) (Don’t know how to lie…)

[Final Chorus] Scattered wide, same direction Let it fall where it will land No more changing names or pictures No more testing it again
Same direction No instruction, no defense I don’t need to call it anything Now I know which way I bend
[Final Post] Same direction (same direction) Every time I let it go Same direction (same direction) Like the answer got there first
Some things already know (already know)

[Outro] No name. No proof. Still there.
(Same direction.)
