Weight Not Noise

Lyrics

[Intro] Cold air, blue hour, footfalls on the stone One missed call, now the whole night’s known [Verse 1] Rain on the hood, let it bead and run Plans in a notebook, none of them done Mum said, “Keep your head when the pressure gets loud” So I learned every exit before entering crowds Corner shop shutter, half past ten Old friends circle back, then vanish again I don’t chase applause, I measure the cost Count every lesson from the things that I lost [Pre-Chorus] No bright promises, no easy route Keep one hand steady when the lights go out [Chorus] We move with the weight, not the noise Built from the breaks, made from the choice If the door stays locked, we find another frame Carry the fire, never borrow a name [Verse 2] Train line hums while the whole block sleeps Big dreams folded where the concrete keeps I saw doubt in the mirror, looked straight through it Took one small chance, made a life move with it Every hard day left a mark on the skin Every closed gate taught me where to begin Now the room goes quiet when I step inside Not for the threat, for the work I hide [Bridge] Hold your breath, let the moment turn Some bridges break, some bridges burn Keep your word when the deal feels thin That’s how the long road lets you in [Chorus] We move with the weight, not the noise Built from the breaks, made from the choice If the door stays locked, we find another frame Carry the fire, never borrow a name [Outro] Cold air, new page, still walking home One clear thought, and I’m not alone
