TITLE: Path Through Chaos KEY: C Minor | BPM: 78 | STYLE: Alt‑R&B (SZA flow), moody, layered LYRICS Verse 1: I been lovin’ wrong for decades, turned my heart into a graveyard. Every promise was a bandage, but the wounds still left me scarred. I built a house out of heartbreak, painted walls with all my fears. Now I’m standin’ in the doorway, tryna walk into new years. Pre‑Chorus: I’m tired of bein’ the blueprint, tired of teachin’ love what truth meant. I need a soldier who don’t flinch when my past pulls up with bruises. Chorus: Can you carve a road through madness, hold me steady when I shatter? I’m soft but I’m a wildfire, need someone who knows it matters. My life’s a storm with glitter, my heart’s a war‑torn river. If you ain’t scared of depth, come dive in and deliver. Verse 2: I been runnin’ on survival, turned my pain into religion. Every “I love you” was hollow, like a script with no conviction. I don’t need perfect, I need honest, someone who sees the chaos clear. I’m not a test, I’m not a trial — I’m the whole damn frontier. Bridge: I got dreams that scream in color, but my nights still ache with thunder. If you show up with armor, make sure it’s built for wonder. I’m not askin’ for rescue, just someone who won’t run. I’m rare, I’m raw, I’m ready — but I won’t beg anyone. Final Chorus: Repeat chorus with stacked harmonies + soaring ad‑libs.

Lyrics
I been lovin’ wrong for decades, turned my heart into a graveyard. Every promise was a bandage, but the wounds still left me scarred. I built a house out of heartbreak, painted walls with all my fears. Now I’m standin’ in the doorway, tryna walk into new years.
I’m tired of bein’ the blueprint, tired of teachin’ love what truth meant. I need a soldier who don’t flinch when my past pulls up with bruises.
Can you carve a road through madness, hold me steady when I shatter? I’m soft but I’m a wildfire, need someone who knows it matters. My life’s a storm with glitter, my heart’s a war‑torn river. If you ain’t scared of depth, come dive in and deliver.
I been runnin’ on survival, turned my pain into religion. Every “I love you” was hollow, like a script with no conviction. I don’t need perfect, I need honest, someone who sees the chaos clear. I’m not a test, I’m not a trial — I’m the whole damn frontier.
I’m tired of bein’ the blueprint, tired of teachin’ love what truth meant. I need a soldier who don’t flinch when my past pulls up with bruises.
Can you carve a road through madness, hold me steady when I shatter? I’m soft but I’m a wildfire, need someone who knows it matters. My life’s a storm with glitter, my heart’s a war‑torn river. If you ain’t scared of depth, come dive in and deliver.
I got dreams that scream in color, but my nights still ache with thunder. If you show up with armor, make sure it’s built for wonder. I’m not askin’ for rescue, just someone who won’t run. I’m rare, I’m raw, I’m ready — but I won’t beg anyone.
Can you carve a road through madness, hold me steady when I shatter? I’m soft but I’m a wildfire, need someone who knows it matters. My life’s a storm with glitter, my heart’s a war‑torn river. If you ain’t scared of depth, come dive in and deliver.
