Credo

[Intro] [Verse 1] While a lover on the street hums a permanent heat I was chasing down a version of a permanent peace You were staging revelations in a fevered decay Now it’s only ever echoes of the things you won’t say There’s a currency in silence, there’s a drought in the vein Clouds fracture into godlight, then dissolve in the rain [Verse] In the search for something sacred, I was sold on a dream Palm trees bending in a past life that I’ve never quite seen Where’s the signal in the attic, there’s a taste in the dust were you written in the doctrine, because you’re kneeling to trust I was counting every fracture in the shape of laws Now my mind has a system learning where it should pause [Pre Chorus] Three laws of a system, found it's lame [Chorus] What the naughty has made I say credo What the naughty has made I see cross-product What the naughty has made [Verse 2] Uppercase in the margins, but the meaning erased Every pattern that I followed led me back to the same I was burning through the hours just to feel something move Every voice in the machine trying to tell me to choose Now the motion feels like memory, a bruise in the frame Every version of myself is just a mask with a name [Pre Chorus] Three laws of a system, bound in fame [Chorus] What the naughty has made I say credo What the naughty has made I see cross-product What the naughty has made [Bridge/Change] There’s a quiet kind of power in refusing the game Built on versions of a self that infused the shame We’re we’re taught to fear the silence, now we live inside the game Where the isolation’s revealed, What the naughty is made [Chorus] I say credo What the naughty has made I see cross-product What the naughty has made [Chorus] What the naughty has made I say credo What the naughty has made I see cross-product What the naughty has made [Outro] I can’t get what I want it—still pulling me through So I become something else… something closer to true I can’t get, want it I can’t get, want it I can’t get, want it I can’t get, What the naughty has made.
