Undercurrent - Part 3 - Low Tide (Mirror)

Lyrics

[Verse 1 - Voice 1: quiet, raw, surveying damage]
The water pulled back slow and thin
I see the shore I started in
The things I broke were always mine
Just pieces I mistook for fine

[Verse 1 - Voice 2: gentle now, no longer cutting]
The tide went out, it always does
The fury fades to what it was
Just fear dressed up in something loud
Just pain performing for a crowd

[Chorus]
Low tide, the floor is bare
Nothing hidden, nothing there
What I held and what I threw
Washed away — and I'm still here too

[Verse 2 - Voice 1: accountability without punishment]
I can't unfold the fists I made
Can't take the wreckage back to shade
The flood was mine, the damage real
But standing here is how I heal

[Verse 2 - Voice 2: the repair]
The anchor's gone, you don't need weight
The drift was never yours to hate
Just water finding where it goes
Not lost — just learning how it flows

[Solo: clean, open, breathing — the opposite of Part 2's chaos]

[Bridge - both voices, converging]
We don't repair by building walls
We don't repair by standing tall
We repair by staying small
Just showing up
That's all
That's all

[Chorus]
Low tide, the floor is bare
Nothing hidden, nothing there
What I held and what I threw
Washed away — and I'm still here too

[Outro - one voice, stripped to nothing]
The water's still
The water's still
Not holding down
Not holding down
Just still
Just still
