Sunlight on the Pavement v11

[Verse 1] [male vocals with reverb] Ever Since I Left My Home I’ve been following the path that I’ve always known Confidence shakie, self believe hanging low But the tides are always turning and my yearning has got me inspired and motivated Summer Days are upon us all The heat has been brutal at times Keep a cool head about you And things will work out fine Distance from the Toxicity has been a joy For me while in this newfound freedom Going on a good few years now Looking to become an entrepreneur Things look promising from my point of view Getting myself situated, then motivated, Then postulated, then compensated Ensulated, Opinionated, Emansupatered [Bridge] Enjoying my new life Just memories of my old wife Peaceful here, no commotion, no strife Dont miss the manipulation Dont miss the abundant lies Dont miss the crazy Dont miss confusion Don’t miss her hating me Irritating me, sensing it was all an illusion [Chorus] Play me that memory Help me to remember Days in Winter coats Sledding in September Faced with old photo images A way to recall the times we loved And held each other tight that November [Verse 3] Verse 3 I’m sorting through the artifacts of who I used to be Trimming off the dead weight, finally setting my soul free Those old boxes in the attic, they’re just paper and some dust I’m trading in the bitterness for a sense of renewed trust I see the blueprint clearer now, the vision’s taking shape No more shadows in the corner, no more desperate escape Just a steady rhythm building, a pulse inside my chest Putting all those ghosts to sleep and laying them to rest I’ve learned that peace isn't quiet; it’s a strength you have to claim It’s the silence in the morning without the echo of the blame The entrepreneur within me isn’t just looking for the gold It’s the autonomy of spirit, a story yet untold And though the road is winding, and the map is still quite new I’ve got the compass in my pocket, and the sky is turning blue The lessons etched in heartbreak? Yeah, they made me who I am But I’m writing my own anthem now, and I don't give a damn About the noise that used to haunt me or the cycles that I broke I’m breathing in the future, and I’m cutting through the smoke. Outro (Tempo slows, a soft, steady rhythm takes over) Yeah, the horizon’s wide open, and the view is finally clear Trading in the heavy load for everything I hold dear It’s a quiet kind of victory, just a slow and steady hum Smiling at the distance of the person I’ve become (Music begins to fade into a light, airy melody) Sunlight on the pavement, feeling brand new underfoot Washing off the residue, the ashes and the soot Just breathing in the freedom, letting all the tension drift A heavy weight is lifted, a permanent, lasting shift No more looking back, just the sunlight on my face Settling into rhythm, moving at my own pace Just me, the quiet morning, and the life I’ve built to stay Watching all the shadows turn to gold and fade away... (Fade out)
