I lay my palm against the granite and it answers slow Every block still carries the weight of the orders they gave They built this place tall on a base of commands and blame Now the tremor moves up through my arm like it’s calling my name I lean in closer, let the force settle heavy in my chest Laugh at the builders who swore their work would outlast regret Feet planted while the ground moves under everything I am I whisper to the rumble that I’m not ready to leave yet The noise gets louder, it moves right through me Old commands waking up inside me This is the weight I claim Every block holds the blame they left for me I push straight back, I don’t run, I don’t hide I take all that pressure and make it mine the weight I claim the noise that runs through the stone I turn their old warnings into the only voice I know This whole damn thing belongs to me now Side to side the force moves like thunder trapped inside It pulls every order and drives it straight into my chest I turn with the hit, throw it back with everything I’ve got left While the building groans louder like it’s begging for rest I slam both fists hard till the columns start answering me Yell into the granite till the whole structure starts to breathe The rumble knows every choice I wish I could forget But I own the noise now, this wreck is all that’s left The noise turns savage, it’s clawing the core Old orders getting bold, demanding more You thought these stones would stay quiet and still They never were quiet, they were waiting for me Every block is a reflection, every tremor’s a truth Watch me turn this cathedral into the only home I ever knew You don’t get to bury this in me. I hear it. Every order. Every voice they left behind. You think I’ll carry it quiet? No. I BREAK IT BACK. I SHOVE IT DOWN. I TEAR THE WEIGHT STRAIGHT OUT THE GROUND. YOU BUILT THIS HIGH I DRAG IT LOW. YOU LEFT IT IN ME, NOW WATCH ME LET IT GO. THIS DOESN’T OWN ME. THIS IS THE WEIGHT I CLAIM EVERY BLOCK HOLDS THE BLAME THEY LEFT FOR ME I PUSH STRAIGHT BACK, I DON’T RUN, I DON’T HIDE I TAKE ALL THAT PRESSURE AND MAKE IT MINE THIS IS THE WEIGHT I CLAIM I OWN THE NOISE THAT RUNS THROUGH THE STONE I TURN THEIR OLD WARNINGS INTO THE ONLY VOICE I KNOW THIS WHOLE DAMN THING BELONGS TO ME NOW
