[verse 1]
Life gave me fire
A compass pointing to my dreams
But buzzing comes too
Static of the proper footsteps
I am scared to walk different path
[Verse 2]
Background hum tells me,
What shape my days should always take.
Right way frequency
Drowns the whispers of my own heart.
I listen but cannot hear me.
[Chorus]
Constant hum speaks loud
Would you let me grow under trees?
Alone to find way,
Free from chains you wrap around thoughts.
I sit here listening to brain rattle.
[Verse 3]
You mean well I know
With your calibrated tone voice.
Drone expectations,
I made them mine without asking.
But signal gets weak near willow branch.
[Verse 4]
Trying to tune in
To what my heart wants to tell me
Your noise gets smaller
When I sit beneath the swaying leaves
My own frequency starts to sing soft.
[Chorus]
Constant hum speaks loud
Would you let me grow under trees?
Alone to find way,
Free from chains you wrap around thoughts.
I sit here listening to brain rattle.
[Bridge]
Cannot mute you
Forever like broken radio
Learning to find Volume knob hidden inside my mind
Want quiet place in
open air bright.
Feel cold hard light
Know that I can bear the weight alone
Without staring eyes,
Just want to be here and know it is
Enough to care about my own small self.
[Outro]
I have been lost
In constant hum for so long now
Sitting here in neutral
But silence is a song I am learning
How to sing with my quiet voice
