Sanat

We did not come here to be afraid
We came here to live
But the signal's buried in the noise
And the noise is all we give

Courage is a love affair with the unknown
But you married the familiar instead
Plugged into the stream of someone else's thoughts
Connected to the living but communing with the dead

Cowards die connected
Wired to the feed but missing every breath
Cowards die connected
A thousand friends and still alone at death

The fear is not of dying - that's the easy part
The fear is of the moment, bare and bright
Of standing in the present with no armor on
And letting yourself shatter in the light

Fearlessness is not the absence of the shaking
Fearlessness is shaking and still being here
It's daring to live with total responsibility
Not reckless - just devoid of the veneer

Cowards die connected
Wired to the feed but missing every breath
Cowards die connected
A thousand friends and still alone at death

What are you avoiding with the endless scroll?
What silence are you drowning with the sound?
There's something underneath the noise that knows your name
But you have to put the screen down to be found

Your hands were made for building
Your eyes were made for seeing
Your lungs were made for this specific air
Stop watching someone else's version of the meaning
The raw unfiltered moment doesn't care

Cowards die connected
Or we learn to die aware
Cowards die connected
Or we finally learn to dare
