[Intro]
(soft pad swell, vinyl crackle, distant chimes)

[Verse 1]
sit with the broken ones
the ones who lost more than they kept
quiet in the aftermath
of every bridge they burned and wept
their eyes don't shine like trophies
they shine like coals that cooled too slow
they don't brag about the summit
they remember every stone below

[Pre-Chorus]
the ones who win too early
never learn what losing means
the mouth still full of hunger
never tasted humble things

[Chorus]
sit with the ones who fell
sit with the ones who knew the ground
they traded gold for silence
they traded crowns to make no sound
the ego left them slowly
like smoke that can't remember fire
and what remained was clearer
than anything the proud acquire

[Verse 2]
the loud ones wear their armor
the wise ones wear their scars like lace
no sermon in their answers
just weather living on their face
they don't sell you resurrection
they don't promise you a throne
they just pour another coffee
and let you sit there on your own

[Pre-Chorus]
the ones who've been unmade
don't need you to perform
they've already survived the whisper
that says you weren't meant for the storm

[Chorus]
sit with the ones who fell
sit with the ones who knew the ground
they traded gold for silence
they traded crowns to make no sound
the ego left them slowly
like smoke that can't remember fire
and what remained was clearer
than anything the proud acquire

[Bridge]
(half-time drop, reverbed piano, distant vocal chops)
every loss a little temple
every bruise a quiet book
read them if you want to know
the things you can't learn from a look

[Outro]
sit with them
sit with them
let the wisdom in the silence find you
sit with them
(fade into ambient wash)
