Baseline

Intro (low, distant)
Yeah
Before the noise
There was a signal

Chorus
I don’t chase highs, I hold a baseline
Steady pulse through the hard times
They spike up, then they flatline
I been built for the long climb
If it shake, I don’t break form
I just check what I’m anchored to
When the room lose its gravity
I go back to the baseline

Verse 1
Everybody flex momentum
Till resistance show up uninvited
I been countin’ what stay consistent
When the vision feel undecided
I don’t need peak emotion
I need something I can repeat
If it work when the lights go out
That’s the part I keep

Pre-Chorus
They call calm a lack of hunger
I call calm a locked-in state
If I’m still when it get unstable
That’s how I know I’m straight

Chorus
I don’t chase highs, I hold a baseline
Steady pulse through the hard times
They spike up, then they flatline
I been built for the long climb
If it shake, I don’t break form
I just check what I’m anchored to
When the room lose its gravity
I go back to the baseline

Verse 2
I stopped measuring progress
By applause or acceleration
I measure what still function
Under stress and isolation
They addicted to intensity
I’m committed to endurance
If the system work tomorrow
That’s my version of assurance

Bridge (Travis-style, airy, minimal)
Yeah
Still
Hold
Breathe

(beat strips back — sub + air)

Verse 3 (short, surgical)
I don’t rise off impulse
I don’t fall off doubt
If I’m quiet, I’m calibrated
Not checked out

Final Chorus
I don’t chase highs, I hold a baseline
I don’t need rush, I need runtime
They burn bright, then they offline
I stay synced with the right time
If it wobble, I don’t force change
I just stabilize the frame
Every time the signal fade
I go back to the baseline

Outro (spoken, fading)
Stability
Before velocity
