FOUND!

I was runnin’ on fumes in a city full of noise

Everyone talkin’ loud, nobody hearin’ the void

Handshake smiles, dagger thoughts behind the eyes

Promises with an expiry, love with a disguise

I learned early, truth don’t trend, pain don’t sell

So I wrote my breath in bars, rang my own hell

Mama said, “Stay kind,” world said, “Stay sharp”

Now I’m livin’ in between, tearin’ maps apart

Yeah, I been countin’ losses like change in my palm

Some people leave scars, some leave psalms

If I sound distant, it’s survival, not pride

I had to lose a lot of souls just to find mine

Lost around sometimes I get fuckin' short replies

Lost around someone who let 'em fall in love, bye

Lost around too many fans and a fond of guy

Lost around brutally break up and tragic dies

Lost around patient treatin', doctor road to die

Lost around those ones who glow, say "Me, Myself, I"

Lost around those secretly disses let me high

Lost around clowned people who let 'em say fly high

I’m lost, yeah, but not defeated

Bent knees, still undefeated

Every goodbye carved my name deeper

Pain made a poet, not a people-pleaser

I’m lost, yeah, but I’m still breathin’

Heavy heart, still believin’

If this road ends in fire and truth

I’ll walk it alone if I have to

Funny how love turn corporate, terms and conditions

They invest in you cheap, then sell your ambitions

Friends turn ghosts when you stop bein’ useful

Same mouths that praised you suddenly hateful

I’ve seen halos rot, I’ve seen villains pray

Seen real ones starve while the fake ones play

If I sound cold, it’s ‘cause I learned the math

Too many smiles cost me pieces I can’t get back

Silence taught me things no crowd ever could

Lonely nights sharpen thoughts, misunderstood

I don’t chase closure, I close the door myself

If you lost me, that’s wealth I kept for myself

I’m lost, but I know my direction

Through grief, through love, through rejection

Every fall was a private lesson

Every scar’s a quiet confession

I’m lost, and that’s okay

Some souls wander just to find their way

If you hear this and it hits too close

You’re not broken, you’re just exposed

Some people survive by bein’ loud

Some of us survive by bein’ lost
