Nothing left to carry

[Create mid-tempo tracks with relaxed, steady grooves and minimal drums. Vocals should be spoken-sung and conversational, flowing naturally across the beat with short run-on lines. Keep the melody narrow and understated, avoiding expressive singing or vocal runs. Chapter 4 should feel like nearing closure, calm and reflective without finality. Chapter 5 should feel resolved and peaceful, slightly extended with more space and reflection. The hook should repeat simply without increasing energy. Overall tone should feel intimate, grounded, and complete.]

[Verse 1]

Morning feel neutral now
Not good, not bad
Just space where the noise was
And I don’t mind that

I move through my day steady
No rush in my steps
I don’t brace for reminders
I let ‘em exist

[Pre-Hook]

I used to measure time
By what I lost
Now I just let it pass
Whatever the cost

⸻

[Hook]

There’s nothin’ left to carry
I set it all down
What felt unfinished before
Feel quiet now

There’s nothin’ left to prove
Nothin’ I need from you
I don’t feel empty
I just feel through

⸻

[Verse 2]

I don’t need new beginnings
To validate the end
Some chapters close softly
Without breakin’ your hands

I see it for what it was
Not more, not less
A part of my life
Not somethin’ I missed

[Pre-Hook 2]

I don’t owe it a reason
I don’t owe it a sound
Some things fade properly
When you don’t hold ‘em down

⸻

[Hook]

There’s nothin’ left to carry
I set it all down
What felt unfinished before
Feel quiet now

There’s nothin’ left to prove
Nothin’ I need from you
I don’t feel empty
I just feel through

[Bridge — Extended Reflection]

No rewind, no rewind
I don’t wish it another time
It arrived, it aligned
Then it left when it was time

I don’t trace it in my head
I don’t keep it just in case
I let it be what it was
And I give it its place

⸻

[Outro — Final Lines of the EP]

Time keep movin’, so do I
Not away, just ahead
Some stories end complete
Without bein’ said
