Verse 1
I thought I’d know it when it came,
Fireworks, a brighter name,
But it slipped in through an ordinary day,
While nothing much was going my way.
The pain still knocked, the thoughts still ran,
But they didn’t need a central man.
Chorus
Nothing to hold, nothing to prove,
Life still moves the way it moves,
The weight’s still here, but lighter somehow,
’Cause no one owns it now.
Verse 2
I still get lost, I still defend,
Still say the wrong thing now and then,
But even when I’m fully caught,
There’s a crack inside the thought.
Like knowing it’s a play somehow,
Even while I forget it now.
Chorus
Nothing to hold, nothing to keep,
Feelings rise, feelings sleep,
The storm still comes, but clears its ground,
No centre to be found.
Bridge
It didn’t make me pure or wise,
Didn’t end the tears or lies,
Just changed the way the story lands,
Like weather passing through my hands.
Final Chorus
Nothing to hold, nothing to be,
Just this strange, soft honesty,
Life still hurts, life still glows,
But it doesn’t need to mean me so.
Outro
Not awake forever.
Just less lost in the telling.
