Exit Without Bowing

[00:14.51]A final door waits open

[00:21.12]hinges worn by use

[00:26.87]voices beg for compromise

[00:34.17]dignity refuses

[00:39.71]The past lists every reason

[00:46.61]fear sharpens each one

[00:53.21]resolve stays unadorned

[00:56.82]work already done

[01:03.65]You walk close at my shoulder

[01:06.84]silence fierce aligned

[01:10.56]nothing asks permission

[01:13.07]nothing behind

[01:16.02]Destiny expects submission

[01:19.17]receives a clean goodbye

[01:22.40]I leave the frame upright

[01:26.09]no bow no sigh
