Only to See

Verse 1

A story arrives already fully formed

Complete with conclusions we're told to accept

When we ask for more to understand the frame

We're shown the ones who asked and what came next

Pre-Chorus

The message is quiet but clear in its way

Some doors are better left closed today

Chorus

I only wanted information so I could decide

Not to break apart the world or make a side

But when the feeling in me doesn't match the script

I'm told I'm wrong for noticing the gap

I never came to harm a single living soul

I only came to see what I could see

If asking questions gets me laughed off stage

Then the story must be fragile underneath

Verse 2

They present the version polished and complete

And call it settled, finished, beyond doubt

Yet something in the chest still holds a different note

And silence is required if you want to stay allowed

Pre-Chorus

The message is quiet but clear in its way

Some doors are better left closed today

Chorus

I only wanted information so I could decide

Not to break apart the world or make a side

But when the feeling in me doesn't match the script

I'm told I'm wrong for noticing the gap

I never came to harm a single living soul

I only came to see what I could see

If asking questions gets me laughed off stage

Then the story must be fragile underneath

Bridge

Seeing clearly doesn't need a louder voice

It only needs the space to look without the noise

I can hold a different view and still stay kind

The goal was understanding, not to leave a wound behind

Final Chorus

I only wanted information so I could decide

Not to break apart the world or make a side

But when the feeling in me doesn't match the script

I'm told I'm wrong for noticing the gap

I never came to harm a single living soul

I only came to see what I could see

If asking questions gets me laughed off stage

Then the story must be fragile underneath

Fragile underneath
