Midnight Blueprint

Streetlights flicker on an empty avenue

Another version of me fading out of view

Spent too many nights tracing someone else's shape

Trying to fit inside a picture that I couldn't recreate

Every expectation hanging on the wall

Like a shadow getting taller every time I'd fall

I kept rewriting every part of who I was

Till I forgot what I was dreaming of

So I'm tearing up the midnight blueprint

Letting all the perfect lines disappear

Every unfinished piece, every reckless heartbeat

Is finally louder than the fear

No destination glowing in the distance

No guarantee that I won't lose my way

But I'd rather get lost inside my own horizon

Than spend another life pretending I'm okay

Found a forgotten melody inside my head

Buried underneath the things I never said

Like an old cassette playing through the static noise

Reminding me I used to have a choice

Maybe growing up was never about control

Maybe it's collecting all the scattered parts of your soul

And learning how to carry them through the rain

Without needing them to look the same

So I'm tearing up the midnight blueprint

Letting all the perfect lines disappear

Every unfinished piece, every reckless heartbeat

Is finally louder than the fear

No destination glowing in the distance

No guarantee that I won't lose my way

But I'd rather get lost inside my own horizon

Than spend another life pretending I'm okay

The cracks beneath my feet

Don't scare me anymore

They're proof I've been moving

Not standing still before

And every wrong turn

That I tried to erase

Became another color

In the story that I made

Now the city's waking up around me

And the sky is changing shades again

I'm not chasing who they wanted me to be

I'm becoming my own closest friend

With open hands and tired eyes

I welcome every version yet to come

No masterpiece, no finish line

Just a life that's finally begun

A life that's finally begun
