The Storm Ain’t Done

[Opening]
So I crawl back down to the cave I know,
Where the echoes hide and the shadows grow.
They call me lazy, say I’m slow,
Their ignorance paints what they want to show.

[Verse 1]
I wake but I don’t rise,
I wear another guise.
I give, they never see,
There’s nothing left of me.

[Chorus]
So I crawl back down to the cave I know,
Where the echoes hide and the shadows grow.
They call me lazy, say I’m slow,
Their ignorance paints what they want to show.

[Bridge]
They say my silence proves I’m weak,
Or dreaming of naps five days a week.
“Oh look, he’s quiet, must be asleep!”
Yeah, dreamin’ of purpose I’ll never keep.

[Chorus]
So I crawl back down to the cave I know,
Where silence reigns and no one goes.
Leave them their lives, I’ll fade, I’ll go,
An empty soul they’ll never know.

[Verse 2]
Yeah, you think I’m weak, you don’t know my fire,
I’ve been holding back, just biding the time.
Muscles of mind, the will to inspire,
The cave’s just a forge where I sharpen the line.

[Pre-Chorus – Build Up]
You see me quiet, but the storm ain’t done,
I’m loading the thunder, I’m not the one.
When I rise, the ground will shake and bend,
This silence you mocked is the start, not the end.

[Final Chorus – Breakout]
No, I won’t crawl back down to the cave I know,
I’ll set it aflame, and watch the fire grow.
Call me lazy, say I’m slow,
But you’ll choke on the strength I’m gonna show.

[Verse 3]
And to the ones still crushed by their game,
When they flex their crowns to spark your shame.
It’s not man or woman, don’t twist the fight,
We all face battles, alone in the night.

[Outro]
So I won’t be like them, I’ll heal, not tear,
I’ll stand with you, to show I care.
If you’ve been mocked, don’t bow, don’t bend,
We rise together, this ain’t the end.
