Lyrics

[Intro]
Quiet, the siren in my chest starts low
They said it’s thunder; I hear code

[Verse 1]
They trained me to turn down every red light
To swallow the spark that rose in my gut
Said the ringing in my ribs was drama
Handed me maps that never matched the road
But under all their no’s, the needle trembled
Iron in my blood leaned north

[Build]

[Chorus]
There’s a needle under my ribs that won’t lie
True north humming underneath the tones
Alarm in my chest, let it ring sky-wide (let it ring)
No more permission slips to feel the cold
I follow the compass buried in my bones
(I follow, I follow) the compass buried in my bones

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
Tonight I stop clearing it with strangers
If the air tastes like metal, I won’t stay
Keys bite my palm; the hinge takes my answer
I pivot when the marrow shifts the way
The map lives in my gut, exact and wordless

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
Hear it, the needle clicks into the line
True north burning through the skin and stone
All the static falls away behind me (fall away)
I don’t need approval to be shown
I follow the compass buried in my bones
I follow the compass buried in my bones
(I follow, I follow) the compass buried in my bones

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Hush, little click under my breastbone
Doubt was only magnetic noise
I breathe, and the needle answers
Pointing true

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
I follow the compass buried in my bones
(I follow) the compass buried in my bones
