Lyrics
IntroEvery day, the same structure.
Get up, work, read, train.
I thought that was the answer.
It was only half of it.
Verse 1I built my days like orders
And I kept every one
No excuses anywhere
Nothing soft allowed to stay
I cut the junk out
The content and the people
Anything that made me soft
Went
I became my own general
For a long time I was proud of that
Nothing could reach me
I made sure of that
Pre-ChorusIt all worked
Every piece did what I told it
I just wasn't in it
ChorusNo one could feel me
I was strong and out of reach
All of it in order
And the man behind it missing
No one could feel me
That was strength back then
Solid on the outside
Cold where it counted
I built myself so well
There was no way in
Verse 2I could lead a room
Without letting it in
Right words, right timing
Somehow never there
For a long time I was smarter
Than I was real
Disciplined to the limit
Connected to no one
They saw the structure
And missed the man inside it
I called it being safe
It was being alone
BridgeI don't regret the discipline
It carried me this far
But a general without a heart
Is just cold
I wanted to be strong
And I wanted to be felt
For a long time
I thought I had to choose
Heavy BreakAll that discipline
And nothing warm
All that strength
And no one there
I did everything right
And no one felt it
Final ChorusNo one could feel me
Until I let the heart in
Same plan, same structure
But someone finally home
No one could feel me
That man learned to be felt
It all started working
When the heart came along
OutroEvery day, the same structure.
The plan never left.
It just has a heartbeat now.
It's still written on my website:
Heart over head. Always.
