What Comes Next

Sunlight cuts the blinds — pressure on my chest, Clock ticks tight like it's checkin' my breath Years slip fast, siftin' dust through my grip, tryna build somethin' steady on a floor that tends to shift People preach peace, swear they've cracked that code, "Play it safe," they repeat — that's the road they know But I feel that hum run deep in my skin, like spark-wire talk whisperin' "begin" Static takes shape, blur hardens to form, Blueprint breathin', calm before storm Not chasin' comfort or a dream half-set — Try sayin' "safe, set, sure" when the ink ain't set Ceiling maps my mind again, Every crack connects to when Somethin's callin', somethin' shakes, Light won't show till motion wakes I don't know What Comes Next (yeah), But I know this can't be it (no) Can't keep givin' time for less, feelin' boxed inside the test Need somethin' real that lasts, somethin' fire-proof and true I'm buildin' tomorrow now, before tomorrow builds on me too Maybe it's risk, maybe it's design, Maybe this Edge was drawn to refine No cue from the crowd, no sign from above, Every pulse inside keeps shoutin' "enough" Seen souls fade under neon haze, Dreams dissolve in those borrowed days Shave their spark just to fit the frame, till they lose their beat and forget their name I won't dull my flame just to pass that test, I'm alive, half-scarred, half-blessed Try twistin' "thrive, drive, dive, defy" in one breath, then feel that charge between life and death Ceiling glows with a dawn-lit hue, Fear turns small when the truth feels new Somethin's breakin', somethin's clear, Step one's done — the path's right here I don't know What Comes Next (oh), But I know this can't be it (no) Can't keep sellin' time away, payin' price I shouldn't pay Need somethin' real and earned, somethin' mine through and through I'm buildin' tomorrow now, before tomorrow builds on me too Maybe safety's rhythm I outgrew, Maybe faith's that step when the world feels new All that restless fire I tried to drown — That's the engine hummin' "turn it around" No master plan, just a pulse to chase, One clean cut can redraw this space If fear wants front-row, let it take that view, I keep movin' honest and cuttin' through I don't know What Comes Next, But I know this ain't the end Hear the buzz of what's to come, through the cracks I used to mend Need somethin' I can trust, carved from what I see Not a life that just survives, but one rewritten by me I don't know What Comes Next, But I'm done with standin' still Done with watchin' time pretend, done with hopin' fate will fill If the answer's buried deep, then I'll dig until it's true I don't know What Comes Next — But I know it starts with move
