00:00I light my world in perfect rows
00:10Each fear behind a door that closed
00:13I planned each step, I named each wall
00:17Afraid to stumble, afraid to fall
00:21I cleaned the mess before it came
00:31Pre-wrote replies in every game
00:35I held the reins with quiet might
00:38So nothing wrong would touch the light
00:42But now I barely move or breathe
00:48Trapped by the calm I tried to weave
00:52The safety I designed with rage
00:55Has turned into a quiet cave
00:59I say I'm fine with practice grace
01:07No one sees the lockdown space
01:10They call me strong, they call me wise
01:14But can't hear a ghost of my cries
01:18Control felt like a gentle shield
01:24Until it stole the way I feel
01:27I lost the chaos and the fire
01:31And with it, every raw desire
01:34So now I whisper through the bars
01:38Tracing patterns in my scars
01:41I built this place to feel okay
01:45But now I can't escape the way
01:49And now I barely move or breathe
02:06Trapped by the calm I tried to weave
02:10The safety I designed with rage
02:14Has turned into a quiet cave
02:17I say I'm fine with practice grace
02:19No one sees the lockdown space
02:23They call me strong, they call me wise
02:24They call me wise but can't hear echoes of my cries
02:25I say I'm fine with practice grace
02:29No one sees the lockdown space
02:30They call me strong, they call me wise
02:31They call me wise but can't hear echoes of my cries
02:36Control felt like a gentle shield
02:37Until it stole the way I feel
02:38I lost the chaos and the fire
02:39And with it, every raw desire
02:41I say I'm fine with practice grace
02:43I say I'm fine with practice grace
02:45I say I'm fine with practice grace
02:47I say I'm fine with practice grace
02:48I say I'm fine with practice grace
02:49No one sees the lockdown space
02:51Control felt like a gentle shield
02:53Until it stole the way I feel
02:55I lost the chaos and the fire
02:57And with it, every raw desire
02:59So now I whisper through the bars
03:03Tracing patterns in my scars
03:06I built this place to feel okay
03:10But now I can't escape the way
03:14I learned to smile with quiet eyes
03:28To hide the fear to soften cries
03:34They said they loved but left to bruise
03:39So I grew up not sure what's true
03:43The rules would shift without a sound
03:49What felt like love would not stay around
03:55A worn embrace could turn to fire
04:00And every heart could back conspire
04:05Childhood taught me not to trust
04:10Not their hands, not what they must
04:16Not the calm before the storm
04:21Not the place I once called home
04:26Even joy would make me flinch
04:32A gift could turn with just one pinch
04:38I stop believing what I feel
04:42Cause feelings lie and wounds don't heal
04:47Now I check each smile for doubt
04:53Each gentle word I play around
04:58And even when they're kind to me
05:03My heart prepares to flee, to freeze
05:08Childhood taught me not to trust
05:14Not myself, nor even love
05:20Now safety feels like empty space
05:25And peace becomes a fear to face
05:30Even joy would make me flinch
05:42Even joy would make me flinch
05:48Even joy would make me flinch
05:57A gift could turn with just one pinch
06:03I stop believing what I feel
06:08Cause feelings lie and wounds don't heal
06:13Now I check each smile for doubt
06:18Each gentle word I play around
06:24And even when they're kind to me
06:29My heart prepares to flee, to freeze
06:34Childhood taught me not to trust
06:45Not myself, not even love
06:50Now safety feels like empty space
06:56And peace becomes a fear to face
07:01I polished every word I spoke
07:14Smiled until the edges broke
07:17Turned my pain into a crown
07:20So no one guessed I was torn down
07:24I chased the gold I'd want to see
07:35Hoping it would shelter me
07:39Built a castle from my fear
07:42But the cracks still whispered me
07:45Perfect was my armor
07:50Shining in the light
07:54Hiding all the battles
07:58I lost in quiet nights
08:01Perfect was my armor
08:04Shining in the light
08:07Hiding all the battles
08:11I lost in quiet nights
08:14Every floor was stitched away
08:24I rehearsed for every day
08:28If they saw they might not stay
08:31So I kept the truth out there
08:34But the shine feels heavy now
08:39And my breath forgets how
08:43To be free without the fight
08:47To be seen and still alright
08:50Perfect was my armor
08:53But it kept me alone
08:56I forgot how to be
08:59Without turning into stone
09:03I forgot how to be
09:21Without turning into stone
09:25I whisper sorry to the air
09:46Before I know that someone cares
09:49Every word feels like a crime
09:51So I repent before my time
09:54Childhood taught me I was wrong
10:06Even if I played alone
10:08Blame was given like my name
10:10And I carried all the shame
10:13I apologize before I speak
10:26Even when my voice is weak
10:31I bend my truth
10:33I fold my spine
10:34Afraid of crossing any line
10:37Silence wrapped around my throat
10:53Fear was stitched in every note
10:56So now I flinch at gentle lies
10:58And trade my words for thin goodbyes
11:01How do I learn that I belong
11:13That every thought is not all wrong
11:15To see my truth without the chains
11:17And speak without the taste of blame
11:20I apologize before I speak
11:33Even when there's no mistake
11:38But deep inside I long to find
11:42A voice unbroken still mine
11:44A voice unbroken still mine
12:09Why do Ilave you in the river?
12:11I learned to stand on shattered ground
12:41Picking pieces all around
12:43I called it strength, I called it brave
12:46But it's the ruins that I save
12:49Every crack became my frame
12:57Fragile walls that hide my shame
12:59I wear the scars like bottled skin
13:02But fear the fall will start again
13:04Every crack became my frame
13:08Fragile walls that hide my shame
13:11I wear the scars like borrowed skin
13:13But fear the fall will start again
13:16Filled from broken things I rise
13:21Holding fire behind my eyes
13:26But every step could make me fall
13:31I'm not unshaken after all
13:35They see a tower tall and proud
13:42They don't hear the breaking loud
13:44I'm just a house of fragile glass
13:47Pretending it was made to last
13:50What if the strength they see in me
13:54Is only ruins carefully
13:56A fragile truth, a trembling song
13:59A hope that's barely holding on
14:02Filled from broken things I rise
14:07Holding fire behind my eyes
14:13But every step could make me fall
14:18I'm not unshaken after all
14:22Ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohJA
14:26From broken things I rise
14:49Underneath could let me go
14:51Filled from broken things I rise
15:11Holding fire behind my eyes
15:17But every step could make me fall
15:22I'm not unshaken after all
15:26I lined my need in perfect rows
15:31Each fear behind a door that closed
15:35I planned each step, I named each wall
15:39Afraid to stumble, afraid to fall
15:47I cleaned the mess before it came
15:56Pre-wrote replies in every game
16:00I held the reins with quiet light
16:05So nothing wrong would touch the light
16:09But now I barely move or breathe
16:14Trapped by the calm I tried to weave
16:19The safety I designed with rage
16:22Has turned into a quiet cake
16:29But now I barely move or breathe
16:32Trapped by the calm I tried to weave
16:37The safety I designed with rage
16:42Has turned into a quiet cake
16:49I say I'm fine with practice grease
17:07No one sees the lockdown space
17:11They call me strong, they call me wise
17:16But can't hear echoes of my cries
17:20Control felt like a gentle shield
17:24Until it stole the way I feel
17:28I lost the chaos and the fire
17:32And with it every raw desire
17:37So now I whisper through the bars
17:49Tracing patterns in my scars
17:53I built this place
17:54I built this place to feel okay
17:57But now I can't escape the way
18:02I filled this place
18:06So now I will find out
18:07All kinds of metaphors
18:09How can i grow
18:11The fight
18:12And even
18:14I fear
18:15There are no meaning
18:15I will hear
18:16Of you
18:17To include
18:18And
18:19A
18:20뚱ías
18:21I
18:22Pot

18:32I learned to smile with quiet eyes
18:40To hide the fear, to soften cries
18:45They said they loved but left a bruise
18:49So I grew up not sure what's true
18:53The rules would shift without a sound
19:05What felt like love would not stay around
19:10A warm embrace could turn to fire
19:14And every hug could back inspire
19:18Chaffa taught me not to trust
19:22Not their hands, not what they must
19:27Not the calm before the storm
19:31Not the place I once called home
19:35Even joy would make me flinch

20:17Childhood taught me not to trust
20:29Not myself, not even love
20:33Now safety feels like empty space
20:38And peace becomes a fear to face
20:43If you think the meaning of me
20:44I can't see where you're going now
20:45I can't see where you're going now
20:45To take care of yourself
20:46I love you
21:16I polished every word I spoke
21:33Smiled until the edges broke
21:42Turned my pain into a crown
21:45So no one guessed I was torn down
21:52I chased the gold they'd want to see
21:57Hoping it would shelter me
22:03Built a castle from my fear
22:10Put the cracks to whisper near
22:16Perfect was my armor, shining in the light
22:24Hiding all the battles I lost in quiet nights
22:29Every flaw was stitched away
22:36I rehearsed for every day
22:42If they saw, they might not stay
22:48So I kept the truth at bay
22:55But the shine feels heavy now
23:00And my breath forgets how
23:02To be free without the fight
23:05To be seen and still alright
23:08Perfect was my armor
23:12But it kept me alone
23:14I forgot how to be without
23:18Turning into stone
23:20I'll see you next time
23:27I'll see you next time
23:29Ah
23:30I whisper sorry to the air
23:57Before I know if someone cares
24:01Every word feels like a crime
24:05So I repent before my time

25:07Retreat my words within goodbyes
25:12How do I learn that I belong

25:27And speak without the taste of blame
25:31I apologize before I sneak
25:46I apologize before I sneak
25:56Even when there's no mistake
26:00But deep inside I long to find
26:05A voice unbroken
26:07Still mine
26:09I learned to stand unshattered
26:23Picking pieces all around
26:28I called it strength
26:31I called it brave
26:32But it's the ruins that I save
26:36Every crack became my frame
26:42Fragile walls that hide my shame
26:46I wear the scars like borrowed skin
26:50But fear the fall will start again
26:54Down from broken things I rise
27:04Holding fire behind my eyes
27:08But every step could make me fall
27:12I'm not unshaken after all
27:16They see a tower torn proud
27:27But don't hear the breaking loud
27:31I'm just a house of fragile glass
27:35Pretending it was made to last
27:39What if the strength they see in me
27:45Is only ruins carefully

28:11But every step could make me fall
28:15I'm not unshaken after all
28:19Left from broken things I rise
28:23Hold the weight is hard to disguise
28:26And though I stand
28:28I always know
28:30The ground beneath could let me go
28:34You can have a soul
28:38The ground beneath could grow
28:40Let me go
28:40I'm not unshaken after all
28:42You can have a soul
28:44Now let me find
28:45I'm not unshaken after all
28:45I am not unshaken after all
28:45You can have a soul
28:46But not your soul
