3 – “You Can’t Heal in Chaos”

[Verse 1] I lit a candle for the noise in me Praying to god for the voices I never set free Moved out the crib where the walls screamed ’Cause trauma got a smell and it clung to me I let go of friendships that cracked like glass Cut off cousins that just relived the past I’m tryna breathe where peace don’t compete But you can’t find stillness where the cycle repeats [Chorus] You can’t heal in chaos Can’t grow where the roots been rot Can’t love when you numb the spot Where your trust used to live You can’t heal in chaos Gotta know when to pack and walk Not all storms deserve a dock Some waves meant to drift [Verse 2] I used to stay ’cause I felt guilty Thought loyalty meant sinkin’ slowly But survival ain’t the same as joy And “ride or die” was just noise Now I bless every door I close Wish ’em peace, then I let that go ’Cause every boundary ain’t betrayal It’s a shelter when you feel too frail [Bridge – haunting harmony + reversed keys] Silence don’t mean distance Space don’t mean hate Sometimes to love you better I gotta love you from a gate [Chorus] You can’t heal in chaos Can’t grow where the roots been rot Can’t love when you numb the spot Where your trust used to live You can’t heal in chaos Gotta know when to pack and walk Not all storms deserve a dock Some waves meant to drift [Outro – low spoken voice over strings] I ain’t mad… I just can’t heal where I keep gettin’ hurt.
