Nothing to Accept

A song about When Nothing Needed Agreeing With

Story — When Nothing Needed Agreeing With

Verse 1

I felt a weight inside my chest
And reached to try and make it rest
Said “I’ll accept it, let it be”
But something still was pushing me

A quiet fight in softer tone
Trying to make the feeling known
But underneath that gentle act
Was still a need to counteract

Pre-Chorus

Pushing away
Pulling it near
Different moves
Same old fear

Chorus

Nothing to accept
Nothing to reject
Just this moment
Just this breath

Nothing to allow
Nothing to correct
Just the feeling
Unprotected

Verse 2

Then something shifted, not by will
Just by being quiet and still
No need to hold, no need to fight
No need to turn it wrong or right

The feeling stayed but changed its place
No longer something to erase
Just texture moving in its way
With nothing more to do or say

Pre-Chorus

No reaching out
No pulling in
No need to lose
No need to win

Chorus

Nothing to accept
Nothing to reject
Just this moment
Just this breath

Nothing to allow
Nothing to correct
Just the feeling
Unprotected

Bridge (soft, curious)

What is it really…
Before the name…
Before I shape it…
Before I claim…

It moves, it shifts…
It comes, it goes…
No one there…
Who needs to know…

Final Chorus (expanded)

Nothing to accept
Nothing to reject
Just this living
Uncorrected

Nothing to improve
Nothing to protect
Just this moment
Unprojected

Outro (gentle loop)

Just this…
No opinion…

Just this…
No position…

Just this…
