[Intro: instrumental pulse, filtered bass, no vocals] [Verse 1: low, restrained delivery] I cut the lights down halfway Leave the room without a sound Every motion calculated Nothing wasted, nothing loud I don't break, I don't recover I don't reach for what is gone Every feeling learns its limit Every signal learns to stop [Pre-Chorus: slight lift, still controlled] I feel the draw, I feel the drain I know the cost, I feel the frame [Chorus: minimal, repeated phrase] Running just enough Running just enough Running just enough To stay on [Verse 2: similar restraint, slight variation] I reduce the open channels I don't need the overflow What remains is operational What I lose, I let it go No alarms, no intervention No dramatic system fail Just a narrowing of purpose Just the strength that still prevails [Pre-Chorus: instrumental thinning] No excess, no return I stay where the margins burn [Chorus: repeated, colder delivery] Running just enough Running just enough Running just enough To stay on [Bridge: instrumental reduction, tension increase] [Instrumental only: bass and kick, pads fade out] [Short vocal phrases, half-spoken] Not asleep Not alive Still responsive Still inside [Chorus: final, slightly heavier] Running just enough Running just enough Running just enough To stay on [Outro: unresolved, slow fade] [Instrumental: pulse continues, elements drop out one by one]
