[Intro] [ambient synths, distant city sounds] Everybody keeps hearing the words Nobody hears the weight behind them I been trying to build bridges in a world That keeps rewarding noise [Verse 1] I got too many tabs open in my mind again Too many patterns connectin’ at the same time again People think I’m angry when I’m trying to explain How the pieces all move when they don’t see the frame I can feel when a room goes cold before it happens Feel tension in the silence underneath the laughing And I know that sounds strange to somebody detached But some of us are built to notice cracks in the glass I’m tired of fake certainty Tired of “trust me” authority Tired of systems selling empathy While slowly killing authenticity And maybe I came in too strong Maybe I held on too long Maybe truth sounds violent now In a world built on performance songs [Pre-Chorus] But I still believe there’s something sacred here Under all the fear Under all the static in our ears [Chorus] I’m somewhere between the signal and the noise Trying not to lose my voice Trying to turn pain into a language people understand And I know I’m intense sometimes ‘Cause I carry too much at one time But if I stop searching for the truth Then who the hell am I? [Verse 2] I seen love become control dressed as protection Seen broken people give broken directions Seen families scream “heal” while feeding rejection Then wonder why the soul keeps choosing disconnection And no — I’m not saying I’m innocent I know the damage that I did I know survival can turn ugly When your mind don’t know how to sit But healing never started from humiliation Never came from fear manipulation It came when somebody finally listened Without trying to win the conversation And lately I been thinking maybe God still works Even through the chaos and the hard lessons first Maybe every collapse ain’t punishment or curse Maybe some foundations gotta break before rebirth [Bridge] [choir enters softly] I don’t wanna be worshipped I just wanna be understood I don’t wanna control the world I just wish people would Slow down long enough To see each other clearly Before the noise decides Who we become [Final Chorus] I’m somewhere between the signal and the noise Still protecting what is pure Still believing there’s a reason I survived this war And if my mind runs deep sometimes It’s because I learned to read between the lines Trying to bring heaven closer to the earth One truth at a time [Outro] [piano only] Maybe the answer was never perfection Maybe it was honesty The whole time
