The higher ground doesn’t answer back It just lets you stand and breathe I’ve learned enough to doubt the map And trust what stays with me No firework, no open door No saints, no alibis Just small decisions stacking up Like nights into a life (Chorus slight lift, catchy) Leave the room the way you found it Let the quiet do the work Every step is saying something Even when it’s not a word Hook / Refrain (repeats, not announced) Leave something clean in your wake Leave something honest behind Verse B I don’t chase the sound of victory It fades before the echo does I watch my hands, I mind my words I keep my promises Rest comes easy when you stop the count When you loosen your grip on time Morning doesn’t ask for more than this Just to show up aligned (Chorus slight lift, catchy) Leave the room the way you found it Let the quiet do the work Every step is saying something Even when it’s not a word Hook / Refrain Leave something clean in your wake Leave something honest behind (second line can be whispered / harmonised) Middle / Breakdown (instrumental or half-spoken) No grand design No warning sign Just pressure, release Pressure, release Final Section (lift without triumph) Leave something clean in your wake Leave something honest behind Every step marks the ground you pass Every choice draws a line (last line repeat, low and intimate)
