devided

Lyrics

[Intro - airy ambient keys, distant piano echoes, intimate spoken-vocal delivery]
I been carryin’ storms in a pocket full of silence
Smilin’ on the outside, but the weight got me divided
Every thought in my head sound like thunder in a room
And I’m tryna find the light, but it keeps hidin’ in the gloom

[Verse 1 - sparse piano, soft 808 pulse, vulnerable rap-sung flow]
I remember nights I ain’t know who I was
Lookin’ in the mirror like, “What am I made of?”
Heard every doubt like a shout in the dark
Tryna hold my heart together when it came apart
I was prayin’ for a break, for a sign, for a reason
For a moment I could breathe, for a hand I could lean on
But the world don’t stop when your soul gets tired
So I kept walkin’ through the fire with my fear in the wire

[Pre-Chorus - rising strings, layered harmonies, tension building]
And I know, I know, I’m not alone in this
Even when the night gets cold and it’s hard to resist
All the pressure in my chest, all the words I never say
I been holdin’ back the rain, let it fall another day

[Chorus - soaring melody, cinematic keys, wide harmonies, emotional release]
I been up in the clouds, but I’m fallin’ back down
Tryna find my way through the lost and found
If I break, let me break where the light can reach
If I bleed, let it mean that I’m finally free
I been up in the clouds, hear the thunder sing
Every scar in my soul got a voice, got a name
And if I’m barely holdin’ on, I’m still here somehow
With my head in the storm and my heart in the clouds

[Verse 2 - fuller drums, warm bass, reflective rap with melodic ends]
I got memories stackin’ up like smoke in the rafters
Some I can’t outrun, some I’m still chasin’ after
Told myself I’d be strong, never showin’ the cracks
But the truth is a bruise when it keeps comin’ back
I learned pain got a language, and mine spoke loud
In the middle of the chaos, I was lost in the crowd
Still, I found little pieces in the wreckage and dust
Like a flicker in the dark when the whole world shuts

[Bridge - stripped back piano, breathy vocals, intimate and fragile]
If I let it all out, would it finally heal?
If I speak from the wound, would you know what I feel?
I don’t need perfect, I just need real
Somewhere in the breaking, I can start to rebuild

[Final Chorus - biggest lift, cinematic drums, stacked vocals, emotional climax]
I been up in the clouds, but I’m fallin’ back down
Tryna find my way through the lost and found
If I break, let me break where the light can reach
If I bleed, let it mean that I’m finally free
I been up in the clouds, hear the thunder sing
Every scar in my soul got a voice, got a name
And if I’m barely holdin’ on, I’m still here somehow
With my head in the storm and my heart in the clouds

[Outro - fading piano, ambient pads, vulnerable whispered ad-libs]
Still here somehow...
Head in the storm...
Heart in the clouds...
