Been sendin' smoke signals again, hopin' somebody still read the sky
I don't reach out like I used to, too many echoes in the reply

The nights get longer when you make peace with pain, kinda funny how comfort start to feel the same
I beat a few things I ain't proud to name, but I still sink slow in the gentle rain

I'm still down, but I'm grounded now
Learned to love the low somehow
Ain't light yet, but it's brighter than it was — guess that counts

I keep a lighter just for memory's sake, the smoke curl like handwriting mistakes
Every puff a prayer I don't say out loud, just letters floatin' past the clouds

Some friends faded, some stayed blind, some came back at the perfect time
I don't blame the ones that left behind —they taught me how to draw the line

Ain't a clean kind of happy, but it's mine
Sometimes peace just look like no alarms, just a song playin' soft and nobody to impress

I'm still down, but I'm grounded now
Learned to love the low somehow
Ain't light yet, but it's brighter than it was —guess that counts

So if you ever look my way, you'll know I made it through the sound
Not high, not healed —just here
Still down
