Lyrics

I keep a running list of everything I almost lost

Every bridge I nearly burned and what each one would've cost

Every room I almost left and every word I almost said

Every version of myself I almost left for dead

I keep it not as punishment I keep it as a map

Of how far I've come and how fast I could go back

Because the truth that nobody tells you when you start to heal

Is the thing you're healing from is something you continue to feel

It doesn't pack its bags and leave when you decide to change

It just moves to a different room to rearrange

Into something you can almost live around

A frequency you've learned to hear without it taking you down

I've been asking myself where it goes

When the noise dies down and the signal shows

And the answer I keep coming back to is

It doesn't go anywhere

It never did

It never will

Where does it live

The walls, the floor

It's in every exit, every door

It doesn't leave

But I'm building before it pulls me under

I descended I came back I documented every step

I made a record of the falling and I made a record of what's left

After the falling after the static after the walls came down

After the grief and the accountability and almost and the ground

I found in something small in someone waiting in the choice

To stay inside the room and use whatever's left of voice

To say the things I never said to be the man I almost wasn't

To carry what was taught to me by someone who is absent

From every table now but present in the way I hold myself

In the way I show up for people in the way I ask for help

Which is still hard which is still something I negotiate

Every single morning before I get up and participate

In this life I nearly forfeited this life I nearly left

This ordinary beautiful terrifying life I almost stepped

Away from permanently and I don't say that for the drama

I say it 'cause the stakes are why the building keeps its honor

Where does it live

The walls, the floor

It's in every exit, every door

It doesn't leave

But I'm building before it pulls me under

You were there in the descent you were there in the static

You were there in the breaking point you were there in the panic

You were there in the paralysis the shadows and the chains

You were there when I was learning how to breathe through the pain

You were there when I came back you were there in the frequencies

You were there when I was building you were part of the remedies

Because I made something out of you I made a record out of you

I made a cathedral out of sessions and I handed it to

Everyone who needed proof that the static isn't fatal

That the noise can become music that the broken can be stable

Enough to hold some weight enough to show up and enough

To choose to stay inside the room when staying still is tough

And you're still here I know you're still here I can feel you in the walls

I can feel you in the exits I can feel you in the halls

Of everything I've built and I'm not fighting anymore

I know you're coming back I'm building anyway before

Before it pulls me under

Before it pulls me under

I'm gonna build I'm gonna stay I'm gonna choose to be here

Before it pulls me under

Before it pulls me under

I'm gonna say the things I never said I'm gonna make it clear

That I was here

That I tried

That I chose this every day

That the static never left but I built anyway

Before it pulls me under

Before it pulls me under

I built anyway

It's still here

It never left

It was there in the descent

It's here now

The difference is I know what to do

Before it pulls me under

I build

That's all

I build

And then I build some more

Before it pulls me under
