I felt the echo through the hallway walls
Every voice sounded foreign
Stories say I should feel like home here
But nothing ever settled in
If I had stayed inside this skin
I might have vanished quietly
I learned devotion to my breath, my pulse, my name
Moments before the ground gave way
All those years
I was breathing without realizing
Life passing through my body
Now I recognize it all
After midnight
I pulled myself from the waters
Held my chest against the current
Disturbia
Stand unresolved on the dust, the waves, the blue
Swear honor to my scars, my truth, my view
I don’t ask where my spirit’s been till now, it’s here
Tonight becomes the restless dark I always feared
Against the disturbia
A child raised inside imagined worlds
Learning masks before language
Affection felt like borrowed clothing
Never fitting quite right
If I had waited for a sign
I might have stayed between the lines
My thoughts coil tight like wire, like thorns, like smoke
Dragging me into myself
All those years
I was breathing without realizing
Life passing through my body
Now I recognize it all
After midnight
I pulled myself from the waters
Held my chest against the current
Disturbia
Stand unresolved on the dust, the waves, the blue
Swear honor to my scars, my truth, my view
I don’t ask where my spirit’s been till now, it’s here
Tonight becomes the restless dark I always feared
Against the disturbia
It’s sealed inside my second skin
No witness knows the place I’ve been
No longer fading, half erased
Because I faced myself
Sealed inside my second skin
No witness knows the place I’ve been
No longer fading, half erased
Because I faced myself
All those years
I was breathing without realizing
Life passing through my body
Now I recognize it all
After midnight
I pulled myself from the waters
Held my chest against the current
Disturbia
Stand unresolved on the dust, the waves, the blue
Swear honor to my scars, my truth, my view
I don’t ask where my spirit’s been till now, it’s here
Tonight becomes the restless dark I always feared
Against the disturbia
We’re against the disturbia
