[Verse 1]
She catalogues the cracks before she steps across the floor,
Reads every room like it's a draft she's edited before,
Her mind runs like a ledger — every column checked and crossed,
Tallying the things she's given, logging what it cost,
She built her life through other people's hands and borrowed mirrors,
But every face she studied only made her own face clearer,

[PreChorus]
She's carried ancient debts that were never really hers to keep,
And something locked beneath the floor is finally done with sleep,

[Chorus]
Merri, you were built to find the fracture in the frame,
To read the hidden sentence no one else would think to name,
Your precision is a lantern, not a lash you turn inside —
Merri, let the work you've done become the thing you ride,

[Verse 2]
She pours herself completely or she doesn't pour at all,
A thousand-page investigation into every rise and fall,
She's rallied for the causes and the people at the edge,
While filing her own longing in a drawer below the ledge,
Her tenderness runs deeper than the systems she arranged —
It fed the ones around her while her own hunger stayed unchanged,

[PreChorus]
The blueprint's always been there in the questions she won't ask,
The answer's been the face beneath the competent, careful mask,

[Chorus]
Merri, there are rooms in you that no one's catalogued yet,
A wild and restless current you've been careful to forget,
Your loyalty dove into depths that swallowed lesser things —
Merri, that's the kind of love that reshapes everything,

[Verse 3]
Now something shifts the way a key turns cleanly in a lock,
Not a stranger at the threshold — just herself there at the knock,
The part that crossed the borders and refused inherited chains,
The one who mapped the distance and came home to what remains,
She's done enough accounting for the people in arrears —
The ledger that she opens now is only hers to clear,

[PreChorus]
The calling that was buried in the solitary, quiet ground
Has been growing in the dark this whole time, waiting to be found,

[Chorus]
Merri, all the searching was the answer in disguise,
The inner world you tended holds the thing you've crossed to find,
You're not behind the schedule, not a system to repair —
Merri, you're the threshold and the one who's standing there,

[Bridge]
Every transformation she survived became a sharper tool,
Every time she broke the cycle she rewrote an older rule,
She thought she needed someone else to hold the final proof —
But grace was always sitting at the table she set loose,

[Outro]
Merri, put the ledger down — the columns finally agree,
Every careful thing you've built has been setting you free,
