[Verse 1]
Alarm still blinking
But my mind’s on fire
To‑do list tower
I just build it higher
Coffee on the counter
Plans in my eyes
Future on the fridge door
Circled in bright sky
[Pre-Chorus]
Every doubt
Tiny ghost on my shoulder
Watch me turn
Every shiver to clover
I was quiet
Now I’m louder than fear
Clicking into focus
As the dream draws near
[Chorus]
I’m a dream machine heart
Turn the pressure into stars (into stars)
Every scar in the dark
Glow like gold on my armor
I’m afraid
But I start
That’s the magic in the march
From the ruins
From the spark
I’m a dream machine heart
[Verse 2]
Old songs in my headphones
Childhood in the hum
First crush
First snowfall
All the ways I’ve come
Tear on the timeline
Laugh in the same frame
Both hands on the present
Still calling your name
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “later”
Was a doorway to never
Now I chase it
While the moment is tender
Little rush
In the pit of my chest
Feels like fright
But it’s hope in a vest
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] What if it works?
What if it shines?
[low vocal register] What if the hurt
Was the shape of the climb?
[crescendo] Take one breath
Place one step
I’m not lost
I’m not spent
Just a heart
Under rent
Learning love
And intent
[Chorus]
