©2026 SonicSketch [INTRO] something keeps restarting in the dark like a lighter flicking, missing the spark but trying anyway no crowd, no proof just the quiet of a roof learning how to stay up through what it can’t refuse [VERSE 1] I learned to stand up wrong, but I stand up still like cracked glass learning how to hold the spill they said I’d fold under the weight of it all but I bent instead of breaking the fall Is it survival, is it a mistake It's the shape that damage can take I kept my sanity through the acid rain even when it came back to magnify my pain [PRE-CHORUS 1] there’s a moment buried under collapse where something inside quietly snaps and instead of ending, it bends like it’s trying to make amends I heard it there in the hollow space a voice with no body, but still a trace [CHORUS 1] I come back, I come back not intact, but I still track every crack, every impact still walk that same exact path if I fall, I don’t stall I learn the shape inside it all I’m not fixed, I’m still in this I’m stitched together from abyss I come back, I come back even when I lose my map still I rise through the collapse still I rise through the collapse [DROP 1] soft vocal echoes: come back… come back… piano expands into wider space sub-bass swell like breath under pressure drums enter half-weight, not full force repeating fragments: still I rise… still I rise… [VERSE 2] the world tried sanding me down to soundless ground to make me smooth enough not to be found but I kept the grain, I kept the bruise kept the parts of me I didn’t lose now I’m a door that swings both ways between what’s lost and what still stays a song half-written, half-undone still humming under a fading sun some nights I am repetition’s ghost some nights I’m what I needed most [PRE-CHORUS 2] and I feel it again in the edge of breath that pause between survival and death not falling, not free just becoming what remains of me a voice in the static, barely loud but louder than any crowd [CHORUS 2] I come back, I come back not intact, but I still track every crack, every impact still walk that same exact path if I fall, I don’t stall I learn the shape inside it all I’m not fixed, I’m still in this I’m stitched together from abyss I come back, I come back even when I lose my map still I rise through the collapse still I rise through the collapse [DROP 2] full drums enter choir-style vocal layers (wordless “ah / oh” textures) piano becomes rhythmic instead of ambient bass stabilizes into heartbeat pulse echoed fragments: I come back… I come back… still I rise… still I rise… not intact… but I track… [BRIDGE] and if you listen through the wall of sound you’ll hear something refusing to drown not victory, not clean release just broken pieces learning peace not healed, not whole but holding the roll of a soul that won’t fold [FINAL CHORUS] I come back, I come back not intact, but I still track every crack, every impact still walk that same exact path if I fall, I don’t stall I learn the shape inside it all I’m not fixed, I’m still in this I’m stitched together from abyss I come back, I come back even when I lose my map still I rise through the collapse still I rise through the collapse [OUTRO] something keeps restarting in the dark still chasing the spark, still leaving a mark still me still here
