Belonging as Infrastructure (Rock Anthem)

[Verse 1] I walked these halls in borrowed skin, Scanning the rules I never learned. Eyes searching faces for a compass, Trying to read the lines, not get burned. [Verse 2] Cold mornings, masked in layers, Chasing sunlight on office floors. We talk in circles, trade what’s safe, Holding back half our hopes, keeping score. [Pre-Chorus] What makes the ground stop shaking, What brings relief to restless minds? We’re more than cogs in stories told — Are you seeing me, or just my outline? [Chorus] Build me comfort, build connection, Let my voice be more than noise. Now the walls are opening, We can breathe, we are more. Hold the anchor, lift the standard — Belonging is the core. [Verse 3] Silent victories, tired dreaming, Late night emails, a world on hold. All that’s missing: truth between us — To feel unhidden, to be consoled. [Instrumental] [Bridge] It’s not on me alone — We’re fifty-fifty, not all-or-none. Structure gives us space to thrive; We regulate, renew, overcome. [Final Chorus] Build me comfort, build connection, Let my voice be more than noise. Here with courage, here with feeling, We can breathe, we are more. Hold the anchor, lift each other — Belonging is the core. [Instrumental]
