[INTRO] (vinyl hiss... heartbeat... distant guitar harmonics) You wanted war... Now all you hear... Is your own echo... ... Eureka... I spent my whole life... Looking for a compass... Not knowing... It was beating... Inside my chest... [HOOK] You wanted war... Now you're haunted by the silence... Every stone... Found its way... Back where it was thrown... Ice in my bloodstream... Fire in my lungs... Walked out the wilderness... Finally... Coming home... (harmonies bloom) Mirrors fall... Dust dissolves... Morning breaks the night... If the Kingdom lives within... Why'd I spend my whole damn life... Running from the light? [VERSE 1] Every scar became a compass rose... Hidden underneath my skin... Every cut was carving coordinates... Showing where I'd always been... Skeletons don't scare me now... They clap from yesterday... Every ghost that tried to own my name... Forgot my face today... Truth don't whisper comfort... Truth just moves your feet... Mercy doesn't drag you... It just gives your soul a street... You were building castles... Out of smoke... Applause... And mirrors... I was chasing something older... Something death... Could never mirror... [POCKET DRIFT] Cold... Flame... Ash... Rain... North... Name... Home... Again... [HOOK] (repeat) [VERSE 2] Daniel heard the kingdoms cracking... Long before they hit the ground... Borrowed crowns look bright... Until the daylight comes around... Every fear became a landmark... Every failure learned my name... Funny how I found direction... Walking through the very pain... You kept counting enemies... I kept counting open doors... Funny... Every battle that I won... Was one I never fought before... Compass never left me... I just never stood still... Whole time... Heaven wasn't hiding... I just hadn't learned... Be still... [POCKET DRIFT] Stone... Dust... Wind... Breath... Lost... Found... Life... Left... [BREAKDOWN] (everything disappears except one guitar and distant heartbeat) Maybe... The wilderness... Wasn't a desert... Maybe... It was every version of me... That kept walking... Past home... [FINAL CHORUS] I don't need another miracle... I just needed different eyes... Every road was pointing home... I couldn't read the signs... Mirrors fall... Dust dissolves... Morning floods the night... Rare form... Heart reborn... Compass toward the light... No more circles... No more echoes... No more borrowed names... I stopped searching... For the Kingdom... Then I realized... The Kingdom... Already knew... My name... [OUTRO] (band fades... heartbeat remains... whispered) You wanted war... Now all that's left... Is the echo... Eureka... The compass never moved... I did... (heartbeat stops) Stay solid... Stay free...
