Lyrics
Woke up in a space that never changed
Same light, same weight
Different face
Days would lean, couldn't even stand
Dragging time
Through an open hand
No edge, no spark in the shape I wore
Quiet deals I'd made before
Let it pass like it wasn't mine
Let it blur, call it I'm fine
Then something shifted in the air
Like a silence cutting through the noise in there
Every line I drew lost its place
But it finally showed me the shape
Turn my frown upside the light
Let it bend, let it redefine
What I thought was holding me
Was just time I let fall behind
Now it moves, now I see the way
Every dark had a hidden line
I was walking half alive
Now I'm stepping into mine
Every hour felt pre-designed
Like I lived in someone else's time
No resistance, no asking why
Just a slow fade
I let go by
Then the ground didn't feel the same
Every step had a different weight
What slowed me down cut through the noise
Took my rush, gave back a choice
Not a voice but I understood
Where it breaks is where it turns to good
Every line I tried to ignore
Led me right to something more
Turn my frown upside the light
Let it bend, let it redefine
What I thought was holding me
Was the space I couldn't see
Now it pulls, now it feels aligned
Every second rewrote the line
I was living out of view
Now I'm calling out what's true
Now every sound pulls me back
No warning, just like that
I'm standing in a place I left behind
A chord can open doors
I never knew were mine
Like memory learning how to rewind
No science I can hold
But something in the soul
Knows exactly where the feeling hides
Turn my frown upside the light
Now it hits me every time
What I lost was never gone
Just a truth I played too long
Every note I let inside
Brought me back to where I'm alive
What slowed me down
Put me in motion
What slowed me down
What slowed me down
Put me in motion
What slowed me down
Set me in motion
Lines I never used before
Now they're moving through me slow
What I held, I let it go
Now it finally starts to show
