Beat and Breath

[Verse 1]
Blank page staring back, got the beat on a loop
Just a voice and a kick drum, digging for the truth
Every syllable’s a puzzle piece I’m trying to fit
Searching for the one line that’s gonna make it hit

[Chorus]
Yeah, the cadence is the current, pulling me along
Finding where the words belong inside a simple song

[Verse 2]
I remember empty pockets, walking in the rain
Putting all that history and all that quiet pain
Into patterns, into rhythm, making sense of it all
Building my own kingdom just before the fall

[Bridge]
Some just hear the bragging, some just see the chains
But this is holy water washing out the stains

[Outro]
Just the beat and my breath, yeah
Nothing left
