Feel the signal rising in the air (Version 2)

Intro

Static hum, apartment walls,

your scent still here, morning light

creeping under the door

Verse 1

I'd gone years without waking up to the sun

my body numb, a hollowed-out drum

the city outside was a distant thrum

a constant reminder I wasn't done

yet somehow managed to survive each day

in a haze of medication and dismay

counting down the minutes till I could sleep

the numbness a fragile shield I'd learned to keep

then one morning the fog began to lift

the meds wore off, I felt my heart shift

a new awareness like a slow unfurl

the world outside my window was no longer dull

I felt it in the small things: birds singing loud

kids playing on the rooftop, the wind's gentle cloud

Hook

Feel the signal rising in the air

Verse 2

it's funny how much you take for granted

the simple joys of being alive and planted

in one place, not constantly on the run

I'd lost track of seasons, years, who I'd become

but that morning, something sparked inside

a sense of possibility, a new stride

I started walking, feeling the ground beneath

and every step was like a whispered secret breath

Hook

Feel the signal rising in the air

Verse 3

now I move with a newfound ease and pace

no longer trapped by my own numb space

the world's vibrant colors bleeding through the haze

each day a gift, each moment a new daze

I'm learning to feel alive again, free

no longer held back by what used to be

Outro

static hum, apartment walls,

your scent still here, morning light

creeping under the door
