Verse 1

We draw the lines a little tighter now,

paper borders pressed against the skin.

Somewhere a pact is signed in summer heat,

three hands clasped where the fault lines begin.

We stood in ordinary rooms that morning,

not knowing what the ordinary breaks.

A child still carries what the room remembered —

the exact weight of what a moment makes.

Chorus

But something rare gets released today,

wings against a sky we almost closed.

We've tangled up the nets we built for safety,

caught ourselves in everything we've imposed.

Something rare gets released — let it go,

over the ridge where we can't follow.

We've named our losses, signed the paperwork,

and still the wild reclaims what we can't hollow.

Verse 2

The networks surface, vast and ordinary,

we count the numbers, marvel at the scale.

A voice admits the gift was not a good one —

honesty arriving just a little stale.

We build the stage and then we leave the stage,

a second exit, quiet, in the heat of August.

The summer doesn't care who steps away;

it keeps its long indifferent light adjusted.

Bridge

Maybe every consequence has a wingspan.

Maybe what we cage too long forgets how to stay.

We are fractured, we are watchful, we are galvanic —

standing in the doorway of another Saturday.

Outro

Something rare — let it find the thermals.

We loosen what we held for far too long.

The sky above the ridge accepts it gently.

We watch until the watching makes us strong.

Instrumental Outro

How did it make you feel?

A new song arrives tomorrow.
