Story — The Fact That Wasn’t
Verse 1
The message came, it didn’t say much
But something in me lost its touch
Before I paused, before I knew
The meaning landed, solid, true
“They’re pulling back, you’ve done it wrong”
The verdict came already strong
No space between the thought and me
It didn’t feel like thinking—it was reality
Pre-Chorus 1
Didn’t question, didn’t see
When it turned to certainty
No gap, no line, no time to act
A thought had hardened into fact
Chorus
It felt like fact, it felt like truth
Like something deeper breaking through
But it was just a thought I knew
That I believed and called it “you”
It felt like real, it felt like me
Like something I was meant to be
But it was just a passing sound
That I let settle and pin me down
Verse 2
Another thought just drifted in
“Banana,” gone before it begins
“Tuesday” came and slipped away
No mark, no pull, no need to stay
Then came one wearing my name
And everything began to change
“You always fail, you always do”
And suddenly it felt like truth
Pre-Chorus 2
Same arrival, same design
But something in me crossed the line
From hearing it to making it real
From passing through to how I feel
Chorus
It felt like fact, it felt like truth
Like something deeper breaking through
But it was just a thought I knew
That I believed and called it “you”
It felt like real, it felt like me
Like something I was meant to be
But it was just a passing sound
That I let settle and pin me down
Bridge (exposing the mechanism)
It appears…
I believe…
I claim…
I become…
A thought…
A truth…
A self…
All at once
Break (slow, intimate)
Did I make it…?
Did I choose…?
Or did it just…
Arrive and move…
Verse 3
Now I stand and watch it land
Same old voice, same old hand
But something in the seeing’s changed
It doesn’t feel so fixed, so framed
It still says “this is who you are”
But now I see it from afar
Not distant—just not fully owned
Not every word a stepping stone
Final Chorus (expanded)
It felt like fact, it felt like truth
But now I see the hidden move
A thought appears, I say “that’s real”
And then I wear it as I feel
It felt like me, it felt so close
Like something I was meant to host
But now I see what’s really there—
Just passing thoughts… in open air
Outro (chant loop)
Let it come… let it be…
Not every thought is truly me…
Let it come… let it go…
It’s just a voice I used to know…
