Aloræ // SAME PLOT

Title: Aloræ // SAME PLOT [Intro] I thought changing everything Would fix it all.. It didn't. [Verse 1] Packed my life into cardboard boxes Crossed off names, kept costs and losses New apartment, new locks, new options Still got habits I forgot to process Changed my picture, changed my circles Changed the people in my contacts Told myself a different backdrop Would somehow keep the old thoughts off that First night standing in the kitchen Light above me, room half empty Coffee getting cold beside me Trying to make the silence friendly Funny thing about running Nobody says it at the start You can leave a hundred places You can't leave your heart I kept telling everybody "Yeah, I'm good, I'm doing better" Then I caught myself repeating The same patterns, different weather Different address, different neighbors Different roads and different views Still waking up with old reactions Still carrying the same truth [Pre-Chorus] I kept saying "this time's different" Like repetition made it true But every road I took eventually Led me right back to... [Chorus] Different city, same thoughts Different face, same scars Different story, same plot Different ending, same start I changed the room I changed the view I changed almost everything Except the part that needed to [Verse 2] Found an old screenshot from last summer While I was cleaning out my phone Funny how one frozen moment Can make you feel you're right back home Then a song came on while shopping Middle aisle, random Tuesday Different year, different version Still got through me the same way People always want a reason Something simple they can point at One clean answer, one clean villain One neat place to put the blame at But some of the hardest things I've carried Never came attached to names Most of them were expectations I kept carrying for years Spent years taking back roads Trying to outrun old mistakes Then I noticed every detour Was another path I'd take Tried to call it moving forward Tried to call it letting go But if I'm being honest I was just avoiding what I know [Pre-Chorus] I kept saying "I'm over it" Like repetition made it true But every road I took eventually Led me right back to... [Chorus] Different city, same thoughts Different face, same scars Different story, same plot Different ending, same start I changed the room I changed the view I changed almost everything Except the part that needed to Different city, same thoughts Different face, same scars Different story, same plot Different ending, same start [Bridge] Every revision had a reason Every reason had a cost Every shortcut looked attractive Till I looked at what it lost Every promise had conditions Every mission had a flaw Every time I drew a finish line I moved it a little more New address, same pressure New calendar, same weather New excuses stitched together Trying not to read the texts New apartment, fresh paint Still carrying old weight Still negotiating with versions Of myself I couldn't update That's the part nobody mentions When they're selling fresh starts You can renovate the surface You can't renovate the heart [Final Chorus] Different city, same thoughts Different face, same scars Different story, same plot Different ending, same start I changed the room I changed the view I changed almost everything Except the part that needed to Different story Same plot Until I write a different one
