Why are you here? I am Rage—pure guard dog in the ribcage I arrive when the line gets crossed When “no” got blurred, when “stop” got lost I don’t want you here, leave me alone But you keep knocking like you own my home Truth is—I've been exiled for years Under polite smiles and swallowed tears [Pre-Chorus – strings swell, nervous tremolo, breath gets louder] And then I hear a second voice in the dark Not a threat—more like a bruise with a spark “I’m Grief,” it says, “I live in the season When empty chairs start giving reasons.” [Chorus – wide, cinematic; drums enter like distant thunder] I feel it like my lungs collapse Like winter hands around my traps I’m not just mourning what I lost— I’m carrying what it cost A lineage of silent nights A borrowed sorrow, heavy as lights And every year the calendar turns the knife— Same dates, same wave, same afterlife [Verse 2 – low electric guitar, airy harmonics, controlled intensity] Haven’t I suffered enough? I ask the ceiling But the body answers first—tight chest, no breathing It says: “Your grandmother knew this room Estranged orbit. Familiar gloom She didn’t see you tear paper and laugh Didn’t get her warm, ordinary photograph So the field remembers—morphic stain A charged December, rehearsed pain” [Pre-Chorus 2 – percussion like footsteps in snow] How is this possible—why now, why here? Because time is a spiral, not a straight line, dear The nervous system tunes to what it learned to fear And the body replays what no one could bear [Chorus – bigger, with a choral stack on the last lines] I feel it like my lungs collapse Like winter hands around my traps I’m not just mourning what I lost— I’m carrying what it cost A lineage of silent nights A borrowed sorrow, heavy as lights And every year the calendar turns the knife— Same dates, same wave, same afterlife [Bridge – spoken-word INFJ sigma “inner tribunal,” minimal drones] So now what? Do I outthink it—name it, tame it, file it away? No. I’m not here to intellectualize the ocean. I’m here to feel it without drowning the child inside me. Express it. Let it rise—uncensored, unedited, unashamed. Surrender isn’t surrendering to pain— It’s surrendering to truth. Jung said what you don’t face becomes fate— So I turn toward the shadow Not to worship it— To release it. [Verse 3 – warm guitar arpeggios, drums soften, voice opens] Rage, you can stand down—you did your job You were the boundary I never got to draw Grief, come closer—tell me the whole story Not just the ache, not just the warning If this energy burns, it wants to change Alchemy isn’t magic—it’s consent to feel the flame So I stop bracing, stop bargaining, stop pretending I’m fine And I let the wave complete its line [Final Chorus – resolved, luminous; thunder turns to rain] I feel it—and I let it pass Not a collapse—an hourglass The weight on my chest becomes a door A softness I was built to ignore This isn’t weakness, this is release This is the nervous system finding peace And every year the dates can lose their bite— When I hold the sorrow in the light [Outro – quiet, almost a lullaby] Grandma… I’m so sorry you were alone. I see you now. You can rest in me— And then be free.
