Verse 1 (rolling, syncopated)
Printed thoughts on glossy signs
Hold them up, call them mine
Every rule feels pre-installed
Ask too much, the signal stalls
Whispers drown beneath the chant
Certainty gets all the grants
They say “trust us,” never prove
Comfort beats the truth in rooms
Pre-Chorus (rising)
If it’s honest, let it bruise
Why’s it scared of being used?
Chorus (hooky, jumpy)
I don’t need the answers fed
I want the cracks inside the edges
If it’s real, it holds its ground
Without a siren, without a sound
I’ll take questions over calm
I’ll take friction in my palms
If belief won’t let me breathe
I don’t want it next to me
Verse 2 (faster, talk-sung)
Every face becomes a side
Neutral means you’re crucified
Context fades, the volume climbs
Thinking takes too much damn time
Rules keep shifting, lines get redrawn
Memory gets edited on
Say it once, say it twice
Truth by echo, sold as life
Pre-Chorus
If it needs a choir loud
Maybe it’s afraid of doubt
Chorus
I don’t need the answers fed
I want the cracks inside the edges
If it’s real, it holds its ground
Without a siren, without a sound
I’ll take questions over calm
I’ll take friction in my palms
If belief won’t let me breathe
I don’t want it next to me
Bridge (half-time, heavy)
I’m not lost, I’m just not led
I won’t sleep in someone else’s head
If the truth feels paper-thin
I won’t pretend I’m settling
Breakdown (stop-start)
Hands up
Fall back
Say it clean
Never ask
Think slow
Think fast
Just don’t think
That’s the catch
Final Chorus (last lift)
I don’t need your certainty
Wrapped in fake security
If it’s truth, it can survive
Every “who” and every “why”
I’ll stand crooked, I’ll stand strange
I won’t chant to feel okay
I don’t need to disagree
I just need to think for me
