The ceiling hums above my head A strip of white across the room I hear the pipes beneath the floor Counting seconds in another room A folded letter on the chair A photograph turned face to face I leave them exactly where they are Some things don't need to be erased Down another flight Past another door The air gets colder Than it was before I used to think I had to understand Every broken piece Every failed demand Now I only hear The sound of my own steps I've seen enough To know Some things Never heal clean I've lost enough To feel The difference Between What was And what is real A vending machine flickers in the hall Its pale reflection cuts across the tile Someone left a jacket by the door Like they were coming back in a while But nobody comes The building settles The hour moves on And somewhere underneath it all I feel something becoming strong Push me Out of this Ordinary Life Push me Past the point Where I Second-guess Every choice I've got a reason To move I've got a reason To stay I've got a reason To tear this open No photograph can hold a year No sentence can contain a life No careful explanation Can make a wrong thing right So let the unfinished stay unfinished Let the unanswered remain unnamed I don't have to solve the pieces To know I won't remain the same Something is changing Not loud Not obvious Just enough To make me turn Just enough To make me choose One more step One more step One more step I won't wear The same skin I won't speak The same words I won't build Another cage From everything I've learned If I break Let it be The breaking Of a pattern If I fall Let me fall Toward something New Now Let the floor Shake Let the ceiling Come down Let the whole World hear What I've kept Buried I'm done Being quiet About the life I want I'm done Standing Outside My own future There is a door beyond the stairwell There is a street beyond the door I don't know what waits outside And I don't need to know anymore The first step isn't beautiful It isn't brave It isn't clean It's simply movement And for tonight That's enough Go Before the moment Changes Go Before the old Routine returns Go With everything You couldn't fix Go With everything You still can The world Doesn't have to open You just Have to move
