Verse 1
I used to think the dark was empty
Just a place the light forgot
Now I hear it shift and settle
Every time I stop and watch
Nothing here is accidental
Every sound has weight
Every silence leans in closer
Every second waits
Pre-Chorus
I don’t flinch
I don’t freeze
I let it show its teeth
Chorus (repeat exactly every time)
I see it now
I see it now
The shape beneath the surface
The pull beneath the ground
I see it now
I see it now
This isn’t just a feeling
I'm being pulled down
Verse 2
They told me fear was just a weakness
Something you outgrow
But fear’s just what you listen to
When you don’t know where to go
I stopped mistaking comfort
For a place that’s safe
Stopped calling it a nightmare
When it won’t fade away
Pre-Chorus
I don’t pray
I don’t shout
I don’t drown it out
Chorus
I see it now
I see it now
The rhythm in the panic
The pattern in the doubt
I see it now
I see it now
This isn’t superstition
This is mapped out
Bridge (pull instruments back, let rhythm breathe)
Once you name it
It can’t hide
Once you trace it
It aligns
Every step
Every sound
It was there
I see it now
Final Chorus (heavier)
I see it now
I see it now
The cost behind the motion
The pressure closing down
I see it now
I see it now
I’m not at peace
But I won’t break down
Outro (extended / mantra)
I see it now
I see it now
Under breath
Under skin
In the quiet
Closing in
I see it now
I see it now
Every shadow
Every doubt
It was always
There somehow
I see it now
