THE KEEPER OF RETURN

V5

[Intro] [Opening] So many doors left half-closed So many lines drawn fast Mistakes turned into endings That were never meant to last [Verse 1] When leaving becomes the only answer Nothing learns how to stay Every fracture turns permanent Every misstep turns away Exits get written into rules No map back gets drawn People disappear quietly Long before they’re gone [Pre-Chorus] There’s a difference between protection And never letting go Between keeping harm from happening And leaving no way home [Chorus] No one is erased forever No one reduced to their worst Return isn’t weakness It’s how repair works What’s given a way back Doesn’t have to pretend The door doesn’t excuse the damage It allows an amend [Verse 2] Unsend buttons, blocked accounts Permanent lines online Everything ends in real time With no space to realign Public verdicts move faster Than understanding can What’s cut off in a moment Rarely learns who it’s been [Bridge] Return is not forgetting It’s not letting harm repeat It’s not asking the injured To give up their feet Return is a process With boundaries in place A path marked clearly enough So repair can take shape [Final Chorus] No one is erased forever What’s named can still change What’s allowed to return with care Doesn’t stay the same Accountability opens When there’s somewhere to stand Repair needs a doorway Not a permanent ban [Outro] The lock loosens The hinge holds What comes back Can be better [(music fades to silence)]
