Hold What Shines

screamo rap, aggressive, chaotic, dark, high-energy, metal-infused hip hop

[Intro]
Yeah
Funny how peace makes you nervous, huh?

[Verse 1]
I used to pray for calm nights, now they scare me,
Silence got weight when there’s something to carry,
Got a good thing sitting right in my hands,
And my mind keeps asking, “How long can it last?”
‘Cause I been on the low end, eating cold doubt,
So when joy walked in, I’m like, “Don’t go now,”
Every laugh feel fragile, glass in the air,
I don’t wanna blink and find nobody there.

[Hook]
I got something beautiful, I’m guarding it tight,
Heart on the edge every day, every night,
I don’t need the stars, don’t need new rings,
Just don’t let the world take my beautiful things.

[Verse 2]
I seen storms pull roofs off dreams like paper,
Seen love go quiet, seen promises vapor,
So I double-knot hope, lock doors in my chest,
Tryna keep the good safe, but still breathe, still rest,
I’m not asking for forever carved in stone,
Just a little more time in the light I’m shown,
If fear’s the cost of feeling this alive,
I’ll pay it, still grateful I survived.

[Bridge]
Maybe love ain’t owned, maybe it’s borrowed,
Here today, still worth it tomorrow,
If it breaks someday, I’ll still say this
I was rich for a moment, and I won’t miss it.

[Verse 3]
So I breathe it in, even scared to lose,
Take the risk ‘cause safe never felt this true,
If the sky cracks open, if plans rearrange,
I’ll stand on the fact that the joy was real, not fake,
No vault strong enough to stop all pain,
But I won’t let fear write over my days,
I hold what shines, even knowing the cost,
‘Cause loving something beats having nothing at all.

[Outro]
Yeah, I got something beautiful, that’s true,
If it slips someday, I still had you,
World can take a lot of things,
Just let me remember the beautiful things.
