Quiet Rebellion

[Intro] Midnight room, a clock with unlit hands I mute the world, let the quiet expand [Verse 1] In the hush of late hours, I trace a spark on the page Hidden sketches breathe softly, like secrets I wage The room wears my excuses, the door won’t budge, it sighs But dreams slip through the window with a thousand tiny lies [Pre-Chorus] If courage is a counterfeit coin, I’m counting every flip Whispered promises to myself, I’m ready to commit [Chorus] I’m chasing a color no one else can see A stubborn pulse, a will to be free Duty calls in a chorus I outgrow But the heartbeat wants what the quiet doesn’t know [Verse 2] Coffee stains my letters, ink learns my brave disguise I fold the day’s demands into origami of sighs The clock repeats its verdict, a drumbeat I’ve learned to hate Yet every secret doodle rewrites the map of fate [Pre-Chorus] If courage is a counterfeit coin, I’m counting every flip Whispered promises to myself, I’m ready to commit [Chorus] I’m chasing a color no one else can see A stubborn pulse, a will to be free Duty calls in a chorus I outgrow But the heartbeat wants what the quiet doesn’t know [Bridge] On the edge of sleep, I sign my name with a breath A vow to keep the fire when the daylight tests The walls may press, the world may urge compliance still But the art inside is louder, and it always will [Chorus] I’m chasing a color no one else can see A stubborn pulse, a will to be free Duty calls in a chorus I outgrow But the heartbeat wants what the quiet doesn’t know [Outro] So I rise with the dawn and choose the secret flame A life that fits the truth I bear, not just the name
