Not Just a Plan

Phonk, Gospel, Deathcore, Sludge, Grunge, Slowcore, subtle chiptune sounds, melodic, cathartic, energetic, lots of syncopation, Build a sharply syncopated, melodic arrangement around chopped instrumental phrases and a distorted low-end pulse; alternate intimate, conversational sing-rap verses with explosive gospel-tinged choral lifts and heavy guitar surges, using brief dropouts and a clear resolved ending, Keep the isolated lead vocal prominent and emotionally direct

[Verse 1] I learned your quiet like a warning bell Still brought my weather in and let it swell I call it honesty when I unload Then wonder why you take the longer road [Pre-Chorus] I keep laying tripwires where we try to meet Then act surprised when love retreats [Chorus] I’m trying to love you without making it hurt To hold what you tell me, not turn it to dirt I’m mapping the places my fear put a flame I want to come closer and carry my blame [Verse 2] You said, “I need a minute,” I heard goodbye I built a whole courtroom from one tired sigh I know my old defenses learned to bite But you shouldn’t have to lose sleep every night [Pre-Chorus] I can’t erase the marks I left behind But I can stop calling them your design [Chorus] I’m trying to love you without making it hurt To hold what you tell me, not turn it to dirt I’m mapping the places my fear put a flame I want to come closer and carry my blame [Bridge] Tell me where the ground gives way I’ll listen first; I won’t explain One careful step, then one more true I’m learning how to stay with you [Final Chorus] I’m trying to love you without making it hurt To hold what you tell me, not turn it to dirt I’ll mark every minefield, disarm what I can And love you with patience, not just a plan [Outro] Not just a plan
