The Part I Don't Know

Verse 1

The road sketches itself in chalk

Endless lines rearranging with each step I walk

Morning rewrites what the night composed

Bright pages unfold where all the daylight goes

Pre-Chorus

The sky trades colors with the passing trains

Maps lose their borders when the weather strains

Sense bends sideways in the undertow

Pulling me closer to the part I don't know

Chorus

I'm built from visions of the days ahead

Shifting through versions I haven't met yet

The world keeps humming in a crooked flow

Teaching me things it forgot to show

Every idea starts soft and vague

Fear in the margins where the truth won't show

Finding its shape in the part I don't know

Verse 2

I shed my shadows like worn skin

Trading names for the person I keep becoming within

Mirrors catch glimpses half-formed

Rising from quiet where the thoughts get warm

Pre-Chorus

Ideas spark lightly then overflow

Drafts twist sideways then steal the show

I chase the outline wherever it goes

Tracing the edges of the part I don't know

Chorus

I'm built from echoes of the days ahead

Shifting through versions I haven't met yet

The world keeps humming in a crooked flow

Teaching me things it forgot to show

Every idea starts soft and vague

Fear in the margins where the truth won't show

Finding its shape in the part I don't know

Bridge

Future bends identity spins

World misbehaves creation begins

Every contradiction starts to glow

Pointing me back to the part I don't know

Final Chorus

I'm built from echoes of the days ahead

Shifting through versions I haven't met yet

The world keeps humming in a crooked flow

Teaching me things it forgot to show

Every idea starts soft and vague

Fear in the the The world keeps humming in a crooked flow

Teaching me things it forgot to show

Every idea starts soft and vague

Fear in the margins where the truth won't show

Finding its voice in the part I don't know
