Lyrics

[Intro]
A room of soft voices around me

[Verse 1]
They pass me "grace" like a bill on a tray,
slide it across, wait for my shaky signature.
Say healing's due the moment I cancel your debt,
but I keep my pen capped; I won't rent my calm.

[Build]

[Chorus]
I won't pay absolution like rent at your door,
I built this quiet with my two steady hands,
Keep your open palm; I don't owe what's gone,
I found my peace without a pardon.

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I swept the glass, patched the doorframe, turned the lock.
Your outstretched hand hovers; I let the hinge talk.
Calendar squares crossed black, quiet humming like wires.
Peace costs sweat, not signatures; I won't hire a choir.

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I won't pay absolution like rent at your door,
I built this quiet with my two steady hands,
Keep your open palm; I don't owe what's gone,
I found my peace without a pardon.

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I found my peace without a pardon.

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
I won't trade the calm I carved.
