[Verse 1]
You came in quiet like a tide before the dawn
With something burning underneath that no one put a name upon
You feel the room before you ever say a word
You catch the things that go unsaid, the notes that go unheard
Your hands were made for holding on when others let things break
Your kind of strong is standing still when everything's at stake

[PreChorus]
And the noise won't stop, and the current pulls you wide
But there's an anchor in your chest, Penne, and it never leaves your side

[Chorus]
You're the undertow, the deep below the wave
The steady ground that no one sees, the light inside the cave
You don't need to shout to shake the walls and make them move
Penne, you were built to last, you've got nothing left to prove

[Verse 2]
Your mind runs rivers through the dark where few would dare to swim
You hold a thousand silent thoughts right underneath the brim
They told you once to keep it small, to dim what others feared
But every wall you ever built became the bridge that cleared
You love like roots beneath the soil, you love like ancient stone
You give your word and that's enough, you turn a house to home

[PreChorus]
And the doubt creeps in, and the water starts to rise
But you've been breathing through the flood since before you opened your eyes

[Chorus]
You're the undertow, the deep below the wave
The steady ground that no one sees, the light inside the cave
You don't need to shout to shake the walls and make them move
Penne, you were built to last, you've got nothing left to prove

[Bridge]
Something out there chose the way you see
Gave you vision wrapped in mystery
And every time you thought you lost the thread
The stars were stitching something up ahead
So let the ones who rush keep running blind
The universe already drew your line

[Outro]
You're the undertow
And the world will know
What you've always carried, Penne
What you've always known
