Calm in the Dark

Me, sitting still watchin’ the crowd move,

Mind in a maze, but my face stay smooth.

Tick tock talkin’, world passin’ by,

You walk right past no glance, no hi.

I stay frozen on my throne, no clone,

Ain’t chasin’ circles like a mindless drone.

Yeah, it’s me guardin’ my soul in silence,

Killin’ my beast, no need for the violence.

It’s me don’t come knockin’ on the cage,

Don’t disturb the quiet, don’t ignite the rage.

I sit in silence, storm in my chest,

Eyes wide open, but I’m getting no rest.

You see the mask, but not what’s inside,

I’m the calm in the dark where the real me hides.

Don’t come close, don’t break the line,

This peace I guard it’s mine, all mine.

No fake love, no lullaby,

I rise in the quiet, let the pain pass by.

They see the stillness, not the fight within,

Every breath I take is wearin' thin.

Played the fool in your play so long,

But I flipped the script now I'm writing strong.

You chose her arms, left me with echoes,

I built my walls out of silent retros.

You ghosted me, now I haunt my zone,

No more chasing shadows I stand alone.

I’m not broken, I’m just awake,

You thought I'd drownbut I bend, I don’t break.

No more chains, no more disguise,

This fire inside is my own sunrise.

I found the silence, turned it to steel,

What I protect now is finally real.

You missed the storm beneath my skin,

But I made peace with where I’ve been.

Don’t come close I’m not the same,

This calm I carry was born from pain.

No more tears, no asking why,

I rise from the dark, and I own the sky.
