Title: Left on Read

I ran with wolves, called it freedom, called it life

I drank from wells that only multiplied the drought inside

Made a throne out of chaos, crowned myself king

But every crown I ever wore had thorns underneath

Laughed at heaven with a drink up in my hand

Turned Your name into a joke, I didn’t understand

I was ghosting God, whole time You never left me on read

I went silent on my soul, still You spoke what You said

I thought I was chasing something—turns out I was chased ten years running, still couldn’t outrun grace

You kept knocking on a door I locked from the inside

Called it my life, but I was barely alive

I threw stones at the cross, You turned them to keys

Now the chains that I wore are the reason I’m free

I kept running, kept hiding, kept playing like I’m fine

Left You on read for years, still You answered every time

I was lost in the dark, thought I liked it that way

But Your light didn’t leave when I pushed it away

[Verse 2]I made deals with the dark, called it “just who I am”Dressed my wounds up in gold like they weren’t bleeding again

Fed my flesh, starved my soul, called it balance and peace

But the louder I lived, the less I believed

I called it coincidence, You called it pursuit

Every road I ran down kept leading to You

[Chorus]You kept knocking on a door I locked from the inside called it my life, but I was barely alive

I threw stones at the cross, You turned them to keys

Now the chains that I wore are the reason I’m free

I kept running, kept hiding, kept playing like I’m fineLeft You on read for years, still You answered every timeI was lost in the dark, said I liked it that wayBut Your light didn’t leave when I pushed it away

[Bridge]I mocked You in public, cried for You alone

Built my life on sand, still You called it home

I was breaking my soul just to feel in control

But You don’t heal halfway—you came for it all

Grace hit harder than anything I chasedLove I couldn’t earn, still You gave

I was dead in the water, You walked on the deep

Now I’m living proof that mercy don’t sleep

[Outro / Hook]I was ghosting God—He never left me on readI went silent on my soul—He still said what He saidTen years running, still I’m not too far goneIf You stayed through my worst, I know where I belong

I was laughing at God, now I’m calling You KingFunny how losing my life gave me everything
