Built on Stone
I don't chase the sky for nothing
I don't speak unless it means a thing
Every step I take is counted
Every promise has a weight to bring
You talk in fireworks and feelings
I work in silence slow and true
I don't break just 'cause you're leaving
I was steady long before you knew
I build my world on stone not sand
One brick a day with my own hands
You want the flash I want the plan
I keep my word I take a stand
No I don't bend with every wind
I don't pretend to let you in
I walk alone —that doesn't mean I'm cold
It just means I know what I hold
I don't need your loud approval
I don't chase the fleeting high
I've learned the art of slow removal
Of knowing when to wave goodbye
You wanted easy I wanted real
You wanted now —I learned to wait
I don't explain the way I feel
I just show up I don't break late
I build my world on stone not sand
One brick a day with my own hands
You want the flash I want the plan
I keep my word I take a stand
No I don't bend with every wind
I don't pretend to let you in
I walk alone —that doesn't mean I'm cold
It just means I know what I hold
You can call me distant call me hard
I've seen too many castles fall apart
I don't build high —I build to last
The future's heavy —I move it fast but quiet
So don't ask me to be softer
Don't ask me to pretend
The walls I've built are not a cage
They're the shape of where I've been
And I'm still here when the noise is gone
Still standing on my stone
