[Verse 1]
There's a fire behind the calm you let them see,
A mind that maps the room before they find the key,
You read between the lines that no one else can find,
An ocean running silent underneath a brilliant mind,
You carry what you feel like armor and like art,
A thousand different questions living in your heart,

[PreChorus]
The world sees the surface, steady and composed,
But there's a whole universe only you have known,

[Chorus]
Written in the deep where the tides don't show,
A soul too wide for shallow ground to hold,
Every contradiction makes you whole,
You were never too much, you were always gold,

[Verse 2]
You've weighed the cost of every word before it lands,
You love like something ancient, offered with both hands,
Not satisfied with almost, not content with thin,
You need the kind of real that goes all the way in,
And when you gave your heart, you gave the whole of it,
That loyalty a lantern in the darkest pit,

[PreChorus]
They may not always meet you where the water's deep,
But the ones who do will be the ones you keep,

[Chorus]
Written in the deep where the tides don't show,
A soul too wide for shallow ground to hold,
Every contradiction makes you whole,
You were never too much, you were always gold,

[Verse 3]
You've poured yourself in rooms that couldn't hold the weight,
And wondered if the effort came a little late,
The recognition slow, the standard hard to meet,
But worth was never something someone else could keep,
Your value isn't borrowed from the eyes that looked away,
It's rooted in the marrow, and it's here to stay,

[PreChorus]
You've been your own severest judge behind closed doors,
But wisdom grows the moment you stop keeping score,

[Chorus]
Written in the deep where the tides don't show,
A soul too wide for shallow ground to hold,
Every contradiction makes you whole,
You were never too much, you were always gold,

[Verse 4]
You speak and something shifts inside the air around,
A storyteller searching for the truest ground,
You dream in systems, visions no one else has built,
And turn your deepest fractures into something filled,
The path ahead was written in a language made for you,
A compass pointing inward always pulling true,

[PreChorus]
The world needs what you carry, every scar, every seam,
You are the bridge between the fire and the dream,

[Chorus]
Written in the deep where the tides don't show,
A soul too wide for shallow ground to hold,
Every contradiction makes you whole,
You were never too much, you were always gold,

[Bridge]
The stars were not careless when they made you this way,
Every edge, every shadow, every word you couldn't say,
You are held by something older than the names we give the light,
You were mapped with intention, you were written right,

[Outro]
So rest inside the truth of who you've always been,
Guided, whole, enough, completely seen,
The deep in you is not a flaw to tame,
It is the very reason you were made,
