[Spoken] (Before the calm, there's the storm. Before the climb, there's the fall.) [Verse 1] In the depths, where shadows play, I faced the noise, day by day. Caffeine highs and endless scroll, A restless mind, out of control. [Pre-Chorus] No more masks, no more lies, Time to cut the binding ties. Strip away the excess weight, Find the core, recalibrate. [Chorus] Solid base, built from pain, Washed away by cleansing rain. From the ashes, rise anew, A path that's clear, a purpose true. [Verse 2] Journals filled with silent screams, Meditation, shattered dreams. Not about the things I add, But what I lose to break the chain. [Pre-Chorus] Silence speaks, the truth revealed, Wounds exposed, slowly healed. In the void, I find my place, A steady heart, a solid base. [Chorus] Solid base, built from pain, Washed away by cleansing rain. From the ashes, rise anew, A path that's clear, a purpose true. [Bridge] Monk mode waits beyond the fire, But first, I walk the edge, the wire. Through the chaos, through the strife, I carve the shape of my new life. [Final Chorus] Solid base, forged in strife, The foundation of my life. Not for the faint hearted, not for the weak, But for the soul that's dared to seek. [Spoken] (Now, the climb begins.)
