[Verse 1] I know this place But it feels rehearsed Like I walked into something That already knew me first Nothing’s different That’s the tell Every street exactly where it was Like it’s been waiting for me to remember [Pre-Chorus] I don’t feel followed I feel expected Like this return was accounted for Before I made it [Chorus] Something’s tightening around me Not hands, not walls Just a narrowing of options I can feel but never see I didn’t come back by accident That’s starting to sink in This wasn’t home calling me It was something else listening [Verse 2] The memories get quieter here Like they’ve served their purpose They brought me back And now they’re done pretending I stop, nothing happens I move, nothing reacts That’s worse than pursuit That’s confirmation [Pre-Chorus] No threats No presence No reason to run yet Just the sense I’ve stepped Exactly where I was meant to [Chorus] Something’s tightening around me Every path feels pre-approved I’m not being chased I’m being positioned For something I didn’t choose I didn’t come back by accident I see that now Whatever I am to them I’ve crossed the line just by being here [Instrumental Break – controlled, mechanical, rising tension] [Bridge] If this place pulled me back It wasn’t memory It was gravity If I leave now I confirm the risk If I stay I finish what they started [Final Chorus] Something’s tightening around me But it hasn’t closed yet I still have motion Still have will Still have a narrow window left [Outro – minimal] Status unchanged.
