HALF-LIFE

[Intro] [low sub pulse, distant ticking texture] ⸻ [Verse 1] I thought I had a half-life That was me in a past life I stood still while time passed by I wasn’t fading — I was crystallized World moved in a blur I felt stuck in the curve Every second felt rehearsed Like I lived in reverse ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] Tried to outrun the hands Sand falling through my plans The more I tried to move The less I understood ⸻ [Chorus] I don’t chase time now I let it breathe around me Half-life turned whole life It never really bound me I stood still — not broken I slowed down — not done What felt like losing years Was me becoming one ⸻ [Verse 2] Stillness built what speed can’t buy Pressure shaped the frame I’m in What felt like I was left behind Was discipline beneath my skin I wasn’t paused — just deep in change Rewriting form at slower pace Time didn’t take — it rearranged The man I am today ⸻ [Final Chorus – slightly wider] I don’t chase time now It bends when I stay steady Half-life turned whole life It was building me already I stood still — not broken I slowed down — not done What felt like losing years Was me becoming one ⸻ [Outro] [low sub pulse fades, ticking slows, silence]
