Lyrics:
I don’t wake up whole.
I assemble myself.

I breathe when the night gets loud,
Remind myself there’s still something now.
Fix what I can, keep people fed,
Patch the cracks they pretend aren’t there.

I water plants in broken streets,
Hold doors open, say “excuse me.”
I try real hard to stay the man
Who believes this world can still be held in hands.

But something in me listens
For the sound of boots.

I’m trying to keep life alive.

I’m built for when it dies.

I’m the fault line running through,
I don’t choose, I split in two.

When the system bares its teeth,
Something else wakes up in me.
Hands stop shaking, heart goes flat,
I don’t feel guilt, I calculate.

I know where to hit, how much it takes,
How fast a threat turns into space.
You call it loss of self-control,
I call it doing what keeps control.

He’s not gone.

He’s waiting.

I don’t want this.
I just want quiet.

Quiet doesn’t survive.

There has to be another way.

There was.
They killed it.

I try to keep life alive,
I swear I do, I try.
But when the system fights back hard,
Something else takes the wheel inside.

I’m the chaos you designed,
Every line you crossed is mine.
I don’t flip, I was the switch
You built for moments just like this.

If I sound empty
It’s because someone had to be.

When the Switch Flips

fractured does not mean broken... 
its means becoming..

These are not for charts, this is not for fame. This is for the one who finds it and dreams with it. Even if only a single soul ever listens, the story will live.
