The First Swing

Cold night… empty road…

Something’s waiting…

Say my name…

Cold night hanging in the air

Empty road—nobody there

Footsteps echo slow and thin

Something pulling deep within

All the voices from before

All the wounds I still ignore

Every name that cut too deep

Every promise they couldn’t keep

Hands still shaking—breath pulled tight

Something shifting in the night

Every step begins to ring

Like the calm before the swing

You feel the break

You hear it call

One move… changes all

ONE SWING—break the night

ONE SPARK—turn dark to light

SILENCE—shattered in the air

Now the quiet isn’t there

HEAR IT—echo in your chest

FEEL IT—something manifest

WHEN SHADOWS start to cling

Everything changes—with the swing

Heartbeat louder than before

Something open in my core

Fear was there—but now it’s gone

Like a switch just clicked on

Feel it rising in my chest

Something waking—something blessed

Not regret and not remorse

Just a growing violent force

Standing still—the moment slows

Something in the darkness grows

Then the name begins to ring—

Kane… Kane… Kane-K

No more doubt

No more mask

Something answers when I ask

ONE SWING—break the night

ONE STEP—into darker light

SILENCE—gone without a trace

Now something else takes place

HEAR IT—echo through the trees

FEEL IT—drop you to your knees

WHEN SHADOWS start to cling

Everything changes—with the swing

No more quiet—no disguise

Something waking in my eyes

Something hungry in the dark

Something leaving its first mark

Name rising from the flame

Something more than just a name

Hear it carried through the trees—

Kane-K

ONE SWING—this is where it starts

ONE BREAK—splits the calm apart

NO SILENCE—left to hide

Something else is now inside

HEAR THE FOREST breathing slow

LIKE THE WOODS already know

WHEN THE SILENCE starts to sing

Everything began… with the swing

It only took one…

Now it never stops…
