Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sunlight leaning on the glass
Shadows stretching as I pass
I don’t rush the shape I’m in
I begin
Every doubt that used to press
Now just folds into progress
I don’t break to prove a point
I stay joint
Used to split in different roles
Morning face, midnight soul
Now I move without disguise
Unified
[Pre-Chorus]
If I shift
It’s intentional
[Chorus]
I keep the line
Day to night
If I move inside this rhythm
I’m aligned
I keep the line
No disguise
Every version of myself
Still survives
[Verse 2]
Crowds move loud in straight lines
I don’t measure worth in signs
If I fall behind a beat
I repeat
Every fear that tries to lead
Now just fades into the speed
I don’t chase what’s undefined
I refine
Used to question every move
Try to cut what didn’t prove
Now I trust the steady pace
I embrace
[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t wait for clarity
I create it
[Chorus]
I keep the line
[Verse 3]
Even when the daylight thins
And the quiet settles in
I don’t trade my tone for night
I stay bright
I’ve been sharp, I’ve been unsure
I’ve been holding something more
Now I let it integrate
And elevate
Every scar becomes a guide
Not a weight I need to hide
If I keep this inner thread
I’m ahead
[Bridge]
Forward doesn’t mean far
[Verse 4]
I don’t need to race the sky
I just keep my centerline
Every breath a steady sign
Of design
If tomorrow bends the frame
I won’t fracture in the change
I’ll just pivot where I stand
And expand
[Final Chorus – Extended]
I keep the line
All the way
If I trust this motion
I stay
I keep the line
Through the night
Every step I take
Feels right
[Outro]
In line
Still moving
