Broken Cup

## **The Pivot (Forward Motion)** **(IZ Wave Records)** **Verse 1** As the clock ticks on and the skin starts to fold, I’m trading in the stories that are tired and old. I used to have an ear for every whisper and sigh, But now I’m looking for the sun in a crowded sky. I don’t want to hear the drama or the way that you fell, I’ve heard enough versions of that common hell. I want to hear the rhythm of the way you rose up, The way you poured the spirit in a broken cup. **Verse 2** Ask me the questions that make the soul move, Let’s get out of the rut and back in the groove. We’re looking for a cover, looking for the shield, To handle every issue in the open field. Combat and comfort—they’re twins in the fight, But you gotta win the war to sleep through the night. Don't just win for the timing, don't just win for the day, Build a foundation that won't wash away. **Chorus** Let’s not run away, let’s not hide in the dark, Let’s not be loud just to leave a mark. Normalize the solution, normalize the plan, Move the discussion as fast as we can. Beyond the comfort, beyond the "poor me," Talk to be powerful, talk to be free. **Verse 3** Don’t be covered by the silence or the fear of the truth, We wasted enough energy in the fire of our youth. If we talk, let it be about the bridge we’re building, Not the gold on the walls that’s already peeling. Comfort is a pillow, but progress is the road, One carries the person, one carries the load. We move the discussion to the place of the fix, Where the spirit and the logic finally mix. **Outro** No more talking just to feel heard. Talk to solve. Move the discussion. Normalize the way out. IZ Wave Records. **Level up.**
