Where I Remember Myself

[Intro — soft ambient pads, distant breath, slow pulse] The world is loud, but hollow Every word is thin as glass I walk through borrowed meanings Trying not to break at last [Verse 1] I don’t speak the language of speed Or worship clocks and screens They trade their hearts for certainty And call it living free I feel like a ghost in daylight Watching everyone pretend That depth is just a weakness And silence has no end [Pre-Chorus] I tried to disappear To survive the noise and fear But something in me whispered You are still here [Chorus] I am not lost I am remembering Who I was before the world grew cold I am not broken I am listening To the truth my soul has always told I walk through fire, I walk alone But I am finding my way home [Verse 2] They say happiness is ownership And love is something earned But I’ve seen eyes go empty From all the lies they’ve learned I carry questions like a burden In a culture scared of depth Where wisdom is inconvenient And truth costs too much breath [Pre-Chorus] I tried to harden up Wear armor made of doubt But my heart kept breaking open To show me what it’s about [Chorus] I am not lost I am remembering Who I was before I learned to hide I am not failing I am awakening To the voice they couldn’t silence inside I walk through shadows, stand my ground This is the self I finally found [Bridge — instrumental rise, emotional swell] If you feel too deep For this shallow age If your grief has wisdom And your love feels strange You are not alone You were never meant To fit inside a world That forgot what it meant [Chorus — final, expanded] We are not lost We are remembering What it means to feel, to care, to see We are the keepers Of forgotten things The depth, the truth, the empathy Through all the chaos, all the scars We are exactly who we are [Outro — fading, fragile] I am home Not in a place But in myself
