[Intro] Lower the volume. Clear the screen. Name what happened. Name what it means. [Verse 1] You were hurt, so you watched every doorway, learned the language of the threat. They dismissed you, so you gathered every piece they’d tried to forget. You called it proof, they called it madness, both got louder in the room. No one stopped to ask the question: “What would safety look like soon?” [Pre-Chorus] Put the weapon down. Put the verdict down. Keep the evidence. Turn the panic down. [Chorus] Recalibrate— not erase, not invalidate. Separate the wound from what the wound creates. Recalibrate— bring the signal back to human scale. Truth can stand a second witness. Love can stand a veil. [Verse 2] To the people in the system: you are not outside the frame. Every locked door leaves a message. Every silence has a name. If the pressure made them fracture, don’t call fracture who they are. Build a life with room to breathe in— food, a bed, a place, a car. [Pre-Chorus] Check the dates and check the facts. Check the body. Check the cost. Ask what happened in the gap before you label someone lost. [Chorus] Recalibrate— not excuse, not retaliate. Make the truth more sturdy than the fear can make it feel. Recalibrate— bring the signal back to human scale. Real harm needs real repair. Unproven claims need care. [Bridge] To the witness: you can step back. You don’t have to solve the whole design. To the suffering: you can slow down. You don’t have to prove your pain tonight. To the community: hold compassion with a boundary made of fact. To the institution: change the conditions. Don’t just study the impact. [Final Chorus] Recalibrate— let the living choose their names. Let accountability be different from a hunger for someone to blame. Recalibrate— make a signal people trust. If the world has lost its balance, we restore it person by person. [Outro] Lower the volume. Clear the screen. Name what happened. Name what we need. No one has to disappear for reality to be shared. No one has to lose their mind to prove that they were scared.
