My place

Verse 1

Sitting with a glass of wine while the sun fades low,

whole sky burning up in orange afterglow.

Yellow flowers by the pathway, fire without a sound,

white trees standing still while the evening settles down.

Had days where my thoughts pulled me way too far,

carried the whole world but never showed the scars.

Now I only hear the wind through the trees behind me,

and for the first time ever it feels calm inside me.

People chase status like happiness lives there,

lose themselves slowly while everybody stares.

So I stay lowkey, let the silence take control,

’cause the deepest emotions rarely make a sound at all.

Chorus

So I raise my glass toward the evening’s final light,

every dark season pulled me farther from the noise inside.

No mask on my face, no performance for the crowd,

just peace in my thoughts and a little calm somehow.

And the world can keep rushing anywhere it wants to be,

I already spent enough time running from my energy.

Now the sunset and the sky above are all I really need,

’cause I found something real when I started finding me.

Verse 2

Tattooed memories on my arm, every line holds a trace,

of people and moments you can never recreate.

Seen people change fast for applause and fame,

seen loyalty disappear just as quick as it came.

But the trees around the house still stand the same,

they don’t ask for masks, don’t care about names.

That’s why I can breathe a little easier here,

nature never judges who you pretend to be out there.

Sun reflecting in the glass while the sky turns black,

thinking how close I came to never making it back.

But something kept me grounded even when it all fell apart,

so today I appreciate the quiet in a whole new way at heart.

Chorus

So I raise my glass toward the evening’s final light,

every dark season pulled me farther from the noise inside.

No mask on my face, no performance for the crowd,

just peace in my thoughts and a little calm somehow.

And the world can keep rushing anywhere it wants to be,

I already spent enough time running from my energy.

Now the sunset and the sky above are all I really need,

’cause I found something real when I started finding me.

Verse 3

Now I’m laying in the hammock while the night rolls in,

hearing old thoughts getting weaker with the wind.

Used to think success meant always being seen,

now I know a peaceful soul beats everything.

My patio became a place where I finally understood,

you don’t always have to run just because life gets rough.

Sometimes strength is simply choosing to remain,

staying soft-hearted even when the world turns cold and strange.

So if someone asks me what real wealth means today,

it’s evening sunlight through the trees when my heart feels safe.

No luxury on earth could ever buy what I have —

that feeling of finally knowing where I truly stand.

Outro

Now the final light reflects inside my glass,

feels like my whole life slowly settled at last.

Not perfect, not huge — just honest and mine,

and sometimes that’s everything you really need in life
