North of the Noise

[Verse 1]
I left my name in the glovebox
Under a fistful of dust
Traded my shadow for daylight
Traded my daylight for rust
The skyline blinked like a warning
I blinked back twice and drove on
There’s a map in the static
But the legend is gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile marker
Feels like a dare
Every rearview mirror
Disappears
[Chorus]
I’m heading north of the noise
Past the edge of the sound
Where the signal goes thin
And the lost get found
Let the ground fall away
Let the compass destroy
Every version of me
That was built to avoid
I’m heading north of the noise
[Verse 2]
There’s a church in the desert
With no doors on the frame
Just a wind through the rafters
Saying nobody came
I lit a match for the question
Watched it swallow the dark
Now the smoke writes its answer
In the shape of a spark
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need witness
I don’t need proof
If the road is a rumor
Let it be true
[Chorus]
I’m heading north of the noise
Past the edge of the sound
Where the static gives up
And the silence is loud
Let the ground fall away
Let the compass destroy
Every version of me
That was built to avoid
I’m heading north of the noise
[Bridge – fractured / building]
No map
No myth
No mirror left to argue with
No god in the guardrail glow
Just pulse and pavement below
If I fracture
Let me split
Into something infinite
If I vanish
Let it be
Into the open frequency
[Final Chorus – bigger, more urgent]
I’m heading north of the noise
Through the blur and the flame
Through the echo of who
I was trying to name
Let the ground fall away
Let the compass destroy
Every version of me
That was built to avoid
I’m heading north—
[Outro – stripped / suspended]
There’s no north.
Just forward.
And it’s enough.
