[Intro, Lo-fi crackle, Slow synth pad] Yeah Still here [Verse 1, Stripped beat, Gentle synth plucks] Didn’t burn out Didn’t blow up Didn’t ghost Didn’t man up Still flinch when the headlines hit But I don’t flinch alone no more Let it pass Let it soak Let it hum beneath the floor [Chorus, Low bass thump, Minimal harmony] Built a buffer Not a wall Let it land, just not take all I feel it Slower On purpose Still fucking human Still soft, just surface-calloused [Verse 2, Sparse keys, Looped tape hiss] Not numb Just regulated Not high Just leveled History loops And I still stay gentle Systems glitchin’ People ditchin’ But I ain’t performin’ strength I’m choosing breath That’s resistance That’s length [Chorus, Thicker lo-fi beat, Gentle layering] Built a buffer Not retreat Hold the heat, but don’t let it eat I feel it Slower On purpose Still fucking human Still soft, just steel-reinforced [Bridge, Ambient swirl, Deep sub-bass, Echoed voice] I don’t wanna be the loudest man in the room I just wanna make it to next week With my chest intact My joy un-taxed No need to prove I bounce back [Break, Instrumental, Vinyl crackle, Soft distortion] [Chorus, Whispered doubling vocals] Built a buffer Not escape Let it through, but not reshape I feel it Slower On purpose Still fucking human Still soft — and that’s my shape [Outro, Fadeout loop, Piano echo] Didn’t abandon myself Didn’t need to be saved Just needed to stay
