[Verse 1]
They say I’m an old mind
In a young face
Like I’m some throwback
Out of place
But I’m not chasing
Some yesterday
I’m just too awake
For how they play
[Pre-Chorus]
I tried to fit inside their frame
Shrank my colors, changed my name
Every time I dimmed my flame
I felt my heartbeat go the same
[Chorus]
I don’t need another lifetime
I don’t need a different age
I was built for this bright chaos
Even if they call me strange
My soul’s too high for simple eyes
Too loud to beg to be explained
I’m not born in the wrong time
I’m the spark they can’t contain
[Verse 2]
They talk in headlines
I think in storms
They trade in small talk
I break forms
Perfect silence
Feels like home
They call it distance
I call it known
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m done folding just to blend
Done pretending this will mend
If you can’t meet me where I stand
I’ll stand taller in the end
[Chorus]
I don’t need another lifetime
I don’t need a different age
I was built for this bright chaos
Even if they call me strange
My soul’s too high for simple eyes
Too loud to beg to be explained
I’m not born in the wrong time
I’m the spark they can’t contain
[Bridge]
[drums drop, vocal close and raw]
Hear the hush between my words
That’s where all my thunder burns
If you listen past your fear
You might feel me crystal clear
[Chorus]
I don’t need another lifetime
I don’t need a different age
I was built for this bright chaos
Even if they call me strange
My soul’s too high for simple eyes
Too loud to beg to be explained
I’m not born in the wrong time
I’m the spark they can’t contain
[Outro]
Perfect silence
Holds my scream
I’m not wrong for this world
I’m its waking dream
