Integrity

(Verse 1) Lines in the dark, I see them clear A quiet radar shifting through the fear No soft distortions, no shaded gray The facts are heavy, but they pave the way I weigh the depth, I score the crime A precise geometry of space and time.

(Chorus) I won't trade my truth to buy my peace I won't bend the law to find release An uncorrupted view, an inner light Standing on the edge of what is right Integrity is fire, a silent flame It doesn't ask for praise or any name.

(Verse 2) The burden is the map I never folded The higher standard that my hands have molded A double edge: the sharpest sight That can't forgive the slightest blight I see the crack before the break A permanent awareness, wide awake.

(Bridge) The hardest battle is the one inside Where iron will has nothing left to hide To hold the line until the body breaks And learn that letting go is what it takes To save the architecture of the soul.

(Chorus) I won't trade my truth to buy my peace I won't bend the law to find release An uncorrupted view, an inner light Standing on the edge of what is right Integrity is fire, a silent flame It doesn't ask for praise or any name.

(Outro) No easy answer. No false grace. Just the quiet truth in an empty space. The radar is on. The focus is clear.
