A break in the clouds I didn’t know I needed

Not an angel, just an angle — something steady, solid and true

Here for one small breath, but enough to change the view

Enough to show the dark has edges I can move through

Negatives are heavy — shadows stacking in my head

They steal the moment, chain my feet to every dread

They lock the light outside and ghost the future’s frame

They whisper every failure, play the same old game

Tick tick — the voice in my skull keeps tallying the fall

Tick tick — “you’re nothing, you’ll never matter at all”

Tick tick — “you’ll blend, you’ll fail, you’ll always be late”

Tick tick — constant static telling me my fate

Tick tick — “no one will love you; pain will never sleep”

Tick tick — it drums that rhythm in the corners I keep

But then you come with warmth like daylight through a seam

You cut the noise, you let me breathe, you teach me how to dream

Positives are bright — they stitch the wound with golden thread

They lift my chest, they paint the morning where I used to dread

You mend the pieces I thought only grief could claim

You are my positive; you call me by my name

Tick tick — the voice in my skull keeps tallying the fall

Tick tick — “you’re nothing, you’ll never matter at all”

Tick tick — “you’ll blend, you’ll fail, you’ll always be late”

Tick tick — constant static telling me my fate

Tick tick — “no one will love you; pain will never sleep”

Tick tick — it drums that rhythm in the corners I keep

Let the tick talk once, then answer loud: “I’m still here, I’m not your shame!”

Take the clock and flip it — count the breaths, not the blame

The walls closed in before I even knew what’s real

Then your light cut through — soft, sharp, and how it heals

Tick tick still talks, but now it’s quieter in the room

I breathe between the beats and feel a start of bloom

Maybe these fractures have a rhyme

Maybe in the chaos I’ll find a sign

Still in every jagged part theres a clue

This scattered self keeps leading me to you

Tick tick — the voice in my skull marks each brave new start

Tick tick — “you matter; your strength is a work of art”

Tick tick — “you’ll learn, you’ll grow, you’ll meet the dawn on time”

Tick tick — a rising signal turning doubt into a sign

Tick tick — “you’ll stand out, you’ll triumph, you’ll arrive”

Tick tick — a drumbeat cheering every step you strive

Tick tick — “you are loved; joy wakes with you after sleep”

Tick tick — “you will be held; tomorrow’s light will sweep”

Tick tick still talks, but now it’s quieter in the room

I breathe between the beats and feel a start of bloom

This scattered self keeps leading me to you

Tick tick — the voice in my skull marks each brave new start

Tick tick — “you matter; your strength is a work of art”

Tick tick — “you’ll learn, you’ll grow, you’ll meet the dawn on time”

Tick tick — a rising signal turning doubt into a sign

Tick tick — “you’ll stand out, you’ll triumph, you’ll arrive”

Tick tick — a drumbeat cheering every step you strive

Tick tick — “you are loved; joy wakes with you after sleep”

Tick tick — “you will be held; tomorrow’s light will sweep”

Tick tick still talks, but now it’s quieter in the room

I breathe between the beats and feel a start of bloom
