Latency
[Intro]
Not every lion roaring.
Not every river flood.
Some powers move in silence...
Beneath the blood.
[Verse]
The world addicted to reaction,
Everybody screaming loud.
Mistaking noise for power,
Performing for the crowd.
But mountains never chase attention,
And roots don't race the rain.
The deepest forms of strength
Learn discipline through pain.
[Pre-Chorus]
Restraint...
The hidden art forgotten.
Holding fire in your spirit
Without letting it consume.
[Chorus]
Restraint...
The architecture of power.
Not weakness...
But the wisdom
To know the proper hour.
Restraint...
The waveform held together.
A sleeping lion watching
Through every kind of weather.
[Verse]
A sword without a master
Cuts everything apart.
But coherent force moves carefully,
With intelligence at heart.
The river banks contain the current,
Or everything destroys.
Creation builds through structure,
Not through uncontrolled noise.
[Bridge]
Everybody wants emergence,
Nobody wants the weight.
But pressure forms the diamond
Long before it meets its fate.
[Final Chorus]
Restraint...The guardian of becoming.
The silence before thunder.
The stillness before running.
Restraint...Not fear but higher vision.
The strongest things in nature
Rarely need permission.
[Outro]
Latency waits ...
for you to discover it.
