Not Enough

### Not Enough **[Intro — Em9 → F#m7 → Fm11 → Em9 | inverted piano, reversed]** (reversed Rhodes/piano, slightly detuned) (1-second silence) ⸻ **[Verse 1 — Em9 → Cmaj7 → F#m7 → Em9 | drums glide in]** I’m sitting in the wreckage, checking the perimeter Cold air, dead stare, life’s at the diameter Diameter… barometer… I’m the practitioner Searching for a flaw, was I the wrong character? I don’t talk unless it’s necessary, check the evidence Silence felt like weight, masking the incompetence Evidence… relevance… I took the consequence If I was really "it," why was there no resonance? Resonance… decadence… same ghost detected Different lie, same tone, script was redirected I been holding out, yeah I played the entertainer Same drama… new face… same betrayer Betrayer… layer… nothing new later I seen the end early, I don’t argue with data Same loop… same route… same conversation I don’t need proof—I recognize the stagnation ⸻ **[Hook — Amaj7 → Cmaj7 → Em9 → Fm11 | call & response]** (Background – steady, hypnotic) Not enough… not enough… False modesty… treated rough… Not enough… not enough… Same mirror… same ghost… had enough… ⸻ (Lead – chest voice, riffs/stabs, free timing) Not ENOUGH… (yeah… not enough…) I see it now… I see it now… (don’t ask me how…) I heard it all before… (before… before…) Not ENOUGH… (I’m not enough…) ⸻ **[Verse 2 — Em9 → F#m7 → Cmaj7 → B7 | tighter loop]** I gave you every version, now you want a substitute Substitute… absolute… I see the destitute Check your history… patterns don’t compute Confidence fake… your loyalty was mute Loyalty mute… same suit… same flaw You wanted perfect… couldn’t follow law I gave you the truth… you wanted the applause You studied the game… never studied the cause Cause and effect… that’s where I lost You chasing the thrill, ignoring the cost Every night cold… every night out of gas Want more love… but you moving too fast Fast… past… never built to last Press the panic button when you moving through mass Talk about vision… can’t stand on that Only apply love when it benefit back I trained another—same exact tools Same ego, he just followed the rules Now I’m back where I started, same view I ain’t even mad—I just see through See through… read you… nothing new Same script running, just a different you Same cycle spinning… I step aside You call it love—I call it pride ⸻ **[Hook — Amaj7 → Cmaj7 → Em9 → Fm11 | call & response]** (Background) Not enough… not enough… False modesty… treated rough… Not enough… not enough… Same cycle spinning… I stepped out… ⸻ (Lead) Not ENOUGH… (I’m not enough…) don’t say it now… (I figured it out…) I made the call… (no turning around…) Not ENOUGH… ⸻ **[Verse 3 — Em9 → Amaj7 → Fm11 → Em9 | more space]** Now you calling my phone… looking for a tether After ghosting the room when I gave you the weather Weather… together… same reflection Now life teaching me—I don’t need the correction Correction… obsession… I already left Emotionally gone… ain’t nothing left Nothing left… no depth… no return You talking ‘bout us… I already learned Already learned… already seen Same disguise, different scene My intuition told me don’t reinvest Same projections—I don’t second guess Second guess… I don’t ask why I just let it go… I don’t reply Reply… deny… restart the cycle I seen this ending… it’s not vital Not vital… survival… I removed my part Too many nights I was sitting in dark Dark… scars… carrying weight Tried to fix it all—it was already late Dynamic outdated… broken panel walls Tried to fix it once, let the whole thing fall Now you back again tryna reopen But you never addressed what was broken Why I’m first call when I’m last resort? That asymmetry—I don’t support I ain’t mad, I ain’t going to court That relationship dead—I’m preparing the corpse Extorted… distorted… now I move light Same people call when they need insight Insight… hindsight… I see clear I left the room… I’m no longer here ⸻ **[Outro — Em9 → Fm11 → Em9 | inverted loop returns]** (inverted piano fades back in) Not enough… Not enough… Same voice… Different mouth… Heard it all… Tuned it out… I’m not enough… (And I don’t care.)
