+[INTRO – trip hop, low BPM, dust and vinyl]  
+Midnight mind, metronome breathing  
+Neon hum, half-believing  
+I inherit ruins and blueprints both  
+Irony cracked but hope still smokes  
+  
+Static sermons, soft resistance  
+Meaning flickers at a distance  
+I said a name into the dark  
+It said it back but missed the mark  
+  
+[VERSE 1 – trip hop, spoken/half-sung]  
+They said choose a side, I chose the seam  
+Between the scream and the marketing dream  
+Post this, deconstruct that  
+I tried, I drowned, I floated back  
+  
+I don’t sneer, I don’t submit  
+I lift the doubt and sit with it  
+Muscle isn’t fists or flags  
+It’s staying whole when stories drag  
+  
+I call myself what I don’t yet know  
+A working title, moving slow  
+I face the mirror, step unsure  
+Faith provisional, spine still pure  
+  
+[PRE-CHORUS – beat begins to firm]  
+Is this strength or just disguise?  
+Is this clarity or compromise?  
+I breathe in myth, I breathe out fact  
+Flex the maybe, don’t collapse  
+  
+[CHORUS – trip hop hook]  
+Which way am I facing and how far shall I step?  
+Meta as I measure the promises I kept  
+The message is the medium, the medium’s a mess  
+I’m strong enough to question, not pretend I guessed  
+  
+[BREAK – beat switch, tempo up, 80s drum machine enters]  
+  
+[VERSE 2 – proto-rap, crisp, playful]  
+Now rewind tape, click, clack, boom  
+Cardboard city, borrowed room  
+It’s Eli on the corner with a borrowed beat  
+Got doubt in the head and soul in the feet  
+  
+They said “What you stand for?” I said “Stand by”  
+BD on my shoulder like a trickster spy  
+Bobby D to Charlemagne  
+Ancient kings in a power refrain  
+  
+History heavy, haloed and worn  
+Yesterday’s rebels get bronzed by morn  
+I don’t cancel, I don’t canonize  
+I metabolize  
+  
+[CHORUS – rap cadence]  
+Which way am I facing and how far shall I step?  
+No map, no master, no meta-net  
+The message is the medium, pass it direct  
+Muscular mind with a human defect  
+  
+[VERSE 3 – proto-rap, humorous edge]  
+You can’t copystrike the sun, check the source code  
+Free as a chorus, no license mode  
+Teach the world to sing, yeah fine, okay  
+But not in perfect harmony — no license key, I say  
+  
+I flex uncertainty, modestly bold  
+Not marble truth, but something that holds  
+Not irony’s grave, not faith on a leash  
+Just meaning with muscle, teeth on the speech  
+  
+[BRIDGE – half-time, reflective]  
+Yin in the wiring, yang in the stance  
+Soft hands, strong back, give doubt a chance  
+Masculine, feminine, miss the point  
+I’m building balance at the joint  
+  
+[FINAL CHORUS – full energy]  
+Which way am I facing and how far shall I step?  
+Far enough to risk it, close enough to check  
+The message is the medium, the medium is me  
+Muscular metamodernist — uncertain, standing free  
+  
+[OUTRO – beat strips back, echo]  
+Name’s provisional  
+Direction pending  
+Signal alive  
+Transmission sending
