Before the verdict

A song about Unworthiness

Verse 1
There’s a weight in my chest
No words, no sound
Just a shadowed sense
That I don’t quite count
Didn’t say I was wrong
Didn’t call me a name
But the thoughts rushed in
To finish the blame

Chorus
It was a feeling
Before the fall
Before the story
Before it all
A tremor, a pull
A nervous spark
Mistaken for a flaw
In the dark

Verse 2
I didn’t fail
I didn’t break
But judgment came
For comfort’s sake
Built a reason
Built a face
Pinned a meaning
On empty space

Chorus
It was a feeling
Before the fall
Before the story
Before it all
Just sensation
Loose and free
Till the mind
Pointed back at me

Bridge
What if this ache
Isn’t about me?
What if this hollow
Is just energy?
No defect
No original sin
Just life
Folding in

Chorus
It was a feeling
Nothing more
No guilty core
No broken floor
When the label drops
What’s left is sound
Breath and warmth
No verdict found

Outro
No verdict
No stain
Just a feeling
Attached to my name.
