Pulse Under Calm

[Verse 1] Morning air still on my skin Dreams half-open, settling I don’t shake them off too fast I let them last Every sound feels synchronized With the state I’m in inside I don’t rush to define What’s mine Used to fear the slower beat Think it meant I’d miss the street Now I feel the pulse beneath Underneath [Pre-Chorus] If it softens It still moves [Chorus] There’s a pulse under calm I feel it rise Every quiet moment Still alive There’s a pulse under calm Day and night If I stay inside it I’m alright [Verse 2] Sidewalk cracks and passing trains Everyone in different lanes I don’t force a faster pace I embrace Every doubt that tries to stay Now dissolves along the way I don’t silence what I fear It’s near Used to measure every gain Every loss against the same Now I trust the undertone I own [Pre-Chorus] I don’t mute the rhythm I ride it [Chorus] There’s a pulse under calm [Verse 3] Even when the daylight fades Into cooler, softer shades I don’t fracture into roles I’m whole I’ve been loud, I’ve been still I’ve been chasing something ill Now I move with quieter fire But higher Every breath becomes a sign That the motion’s still aligned If I keep this balance tight I’m alright [Bridge] Calm doesn’t mean still [Verse 4] I don’t need to force the rise I just let the energy climb Every step a steady climb In time If tomorrow shifts the tone I won’t say I’m on my own I just hold the inner drum And run [Final Chorus – Extended] There’s a pulse under calm All the way If I trust this hidden tempo I stay There’s a pulse under calm Through the night Every move I make Feels right [Outro] Still rising Still calm
