TOO MANY HOOKS, NOT ENOUGH RIVER

[Verse 1] Every line trying to grab my sleeve Every sound begging me to believe Ten ideas fighting for the same space All bite-sized, none leave a taste Catchy start, catchy end Middle lost where it should bend Everybody yelling “stay” Nobody showing me the way [Pre-Chorus] Pulls me hard, don’t let me swim Too much shine, not enough depth in it [Chorus] Too many hooks, not enough river Got me twitching, never drifting All these sparks, no long shiver Can’t float if you don’t deliver Too many hooks, not enough river Grab my ear, won’t let go I don’t need another trigger I just wanna flow [Verse 2] Jump cut feelings, half-time soul Fast-forward where the water rolls I don’t mind a little bite But let me breathe between the lights Not saying simple’s wrong Just let a moment last this long Give me space to lose control Let it move me slow [Bridge] Loosen the line, cut me free Let the sound do what it needs [Final Chorus] Too many hooks, not enough river Still I’m in it, still I listen If you trust the pull a little Maybe depth shows up unbidden [Outro] Ease the grip Let it run
