Structural Shift

[Verse 1]
I've measured my own echo, quiet and contained
Shrunk my blueprint to fit, a space politely claimed
Rain streaks down the window, a blur of city light
A silent apology for simply being bright

[Chorus]
No more shrinking down, this grid is mine to trace
I stand at full volume, reclaiming my own space
Each floor, each wall, a foundation newly cast
This silent shrinking self belongs to the past

[Verse 2]
Past empty storefront windows, I’d watch the crowds walk by
Reflecting crumbling facades, a shadow in my eye
Every corner turned, I carved a smaller way
But the pulse of neon calls me to a brighter day

[Chorus]
No more shrinking down, this grid is mine to trace
I stand at full volume, reclaiming my own space
Each floor, each wall, a foundation newly cast
This silent shrinking self belongs to the past

[Bridge]
The skyline stretches, infinite and vast
No looking back at fading reflections of the past
This towering future built, a dream I won't erase
I won't apologize for occupying this place

[Chorus]
No more shrinking down, this grid is mine to trace
I stand at full volume, reclaiming my own space
Each floor, each wall, a foundation newly cast
This silent shrinking self belongs to the past

[Outro]
My footprint solid, finally defined
My own bright architecture, leaving doubt behind.
