[Intro: Soft Rhodes Piano Swells, Cello & 528Hz Solfeggio Hum]
[Ad-lib] (Mmm, yeah...)
[Ad-lib] (Wake me up... I want to hear you speak)
[Ad-lib] (This isn't a love song...)
[Ad-lib] (Listen close now)
[Verse 1: Breathy, Close-Mic Delivery]
Wake me up, I want to hear you speak
Caress my cheek, don't let those tears leak
This isn't a love song, this is pure trust
In what I give to you before the steel turns to rust
Forgive me, but I had to let you go
Keep the messages, the laughter, and the quiet glow
Remember me as the one who made you whole
Do you think I'm superhuman, playin' a bulletproof role?
I will miss you more than you'll ever know!
[Pre-Chorus: Subtle 808 Pulse & Crisp Snaps Build]
Fight or flight, the war inside my mind has begun
Tendencies elevate, my adrenaline start to run
I was never one to stay and watch the battle start
I have to walk away to protect my own heart!
[Vocal Stutter] (D-D-Don't forget me!)
And I'm standing up now!
[Beat Drop: Heavy Slow 808 Trap Bass & Rock Guitars Enter]
[Chorus: Soaring Pop-Rock Belt & Massive Shouting Choir]
This isn't a love song, this is trust on the line!
A soldier once told me to stand tall and shine! [Chorus ad-lib] (Stand tall!)
Don't settle for less, fight for what is right!
I'm leaving to be better, stepping straight into the light!
Don't forget me, 'cause I'll remember you!
Living in harmony, making my dreams come true!
[Verse 2: Snappy, Rhythmic Neo-Soul Flow]
A weapon doesn't make a man, a man makes the tool
And I refuse to let anybody treat me like a fool
I faced the problems that I had, escaped the shadows of my past
Building up a future that is actually gonna last
No one else to blame, I'm taking charge of the fight
Walking out the wilderness under His holy light!
[Ad-lib] (My babies are blessed! Yes they are!)
[Bridge: Stripped Back to Snaps & Rhythmic Foot-Stomps]
The sweet goodbye that I must say today!
Wiping off the dust, clearing out the gray!
[Speaking in tongues] (Ka-ra-ba-sha-ta! Ho-san-na! Ri-se-a!)
[Drop] (Three, two, one — drop the fire!)
[Chorus: Maximum Energy, Full Guitars & Choir Climax]
This isn't a love song, this is trust on the line!
A soldier once told me to stand tall and shine! [Chorus ad-lib] (Stand tall!)
Don't settle for less, fight for what is right!
I'm leaving to be better, stepping straight into the light!
Don't forget me, 'cause I'll remember you!
[Outro: Slow Outro Fade, Rhodes Piano & Soft Rain Effects]
Don't forget me.
I'll remember you.
A soldier told me.
I'm leaving to be better.
My babies are blessed.
My sanctuary is gold.
I am whole.
[Ad-lib] (Eyepiercinglove... amen)
[Fade Out]
[End]
Eyepiercinglove
