I’ll take the long way

I’ll take the long way

Lyrics

Verse 1 (quick-fire, uneven bars)

They sold us maps with the edges torn

Said don’t look back, that’s where you’re warned

Every sentence ends in stone

Every thought feels overgrown

Choke the room with “this is right”

Crowd gets thicker, truth gets light

If you pause, you miss the cue

If you ask, they aim at you

Pre-Chorus (tight climb)

If it’s solid, why the fear?

Why’s it shaking when I’m near?

Chorus (bouncy, sharp hook)

I don’t want your ready-made mind

I’ll take the long way, I’ve got time

If it’s real, it doesn’t mind

Being torn apart, redesigned

I’m not here to memorize

What survives on louder lies

I don’t need the comfort zone

I need to know I chose my own

Verse 2 (faster, talk-sung)

Every wall’s got something sprayed

Think this way or be erased

Outrage cycles every week

Rent is due on what you think

They call it care, they call it truth

Padlocked mouths and matching views

Say it sweet, say it stern

Don’t slow down, don’t unlearn

Pre-Chorus

If belief won’t take a hit

It was never built for this

Chorus

I don’t want your ready-made mind

I’ll take the long way, I’ve got time

If it’s real, it doesn’t mind

Being torn apart, redesigned

I’m not here to memorize

What survives on louder lies

I don’t need the comfort zone

I need to know I chose my own

Bridge (half-time, heavy)

I’m not lost, I’m undecided

That’s the space where growth ignites

If the truth needs barricades

Maybe it’s the thing afraid

Breakdown (Blink chaos, stop-start)

Say it clean

Say it proud

Say it till it’s all you’re allowed

Fall in step

Don’t look down

Thinking slows the whole damn crowd

Final Chorus (last push)

I don’t want your certainty

Wrapped in fake humility

If it’s truth, it’ll remain

After doubt and after pain

I’ll stand wrong before I kneel

I’ll trust questions more than deals

I don’t need your guarantee

I just need autonomy
