Calm in the Storm🐢🌊

[Intro – The Internal Alarm | Whisper / Low Pulse] I was born without doors in my mind… Only thresholds. Only warning bells under calm skin. They thought my quiet meant consent. They thought my kindness meant control. They never heard the lock click Behind my eyes. Soft static. Slow heartbeat begins. [Verse 1 – The Wounded Healer] Now and then I think of when I felt everything Couldn’t walk past pain without wearing its wings Pulled their shadows into my skin Bled my soul just to let them in You were cold, you were clear, you were calm in the storm And I thought that meant you’d lost your form I whispered “Don’t forget how to feel…” But you just stared back — “That’s how I heal.” [Pre-Chorus – The Alarm Activates] And something shifted in the quiet air Tone got sharp, but you weren’t there My trust went thin without a sound My intuition drew the line in the ground You didn’t raise your voice — neither did I But the warning lit up behind my eyes [Chorus – The Sovereign / Sigma INFJ] But you didn’t owe me empathy Didn’t owe my old identity Now you see through everything you used to see And I’m just somebody you used to be Na-na, na-na-na-na… Na-na-na, na-na-na… Now I’m just somebody you used to be [Verse 2 – Withdrawal & Observation] I stepped back without a scene Silent like a severed dream Watching patterns, watching tone Seeing truths I’d never known You mistook my space for fear You leaned in, I disappeared You were pushing, I went still You were pulling, I chose will [Pre-Chorus – Silent Resistance] You thought my silence was surrender But I was cutting cords with steady tension No more guilt, no borrowed shame No more bleeding just to stay the same [Chorus – Dual Voice, The Merge] And you didn’t owe them empathy Didn’t owe your old identity Now you see through everything you used to see And I’m just somebody you used to be Na-na, na-na-na-na… Na-na-na, na-na-na… Now I’m just somebody you used to be [Verse 3 – Values Lock In] I don’t bend where truth stands tall Don’t answer every desperate call I don’t barter my inner law For someone else’s hunger for control You wanted access to my flame But I don’t burn to warm your cage I don’t fracture to keep you whole I don’t shrink to be more usable [Bridge – Dialogue Between Selves] (Wounded Healer): I still feel the ache when the world cries out (Sovereign): But it’s not your pain to carry now (Wounded Healer): If I let go, who am I to be? (Sovereign): Finally… me. [Verse 4 – Emotional Door Closing] I still speak soft, I still stay kind But you don’t live in my inner mind My heart’s not cruel — it’s just secure You don’t get access anymore You feel the chill but not the cause You crossed the soul’s unspoken laws I didn’t rage, I didn’t beg I simply took my power back [Final Chorus – The INFJ Exit] I don’t owe you empathy I don’t owe you the old me Now I walk in quiet sovereignty And you’re just somebody I used to be Na-na, na-na-na-na… Na-na-na, na-na-na… Now you’re just somebody I used to be [Outro – The Quiet Exit | Ambient / Heartbeat] You never heard the door slam. Because it didn’t. It closed the way mountains close around distance. The way intuition ends arguments. The way peace replaces need. (Echoed whisper) “I remember… but I’m free.”
