## Song 10: Need Check Lullaby

[Verse 1]  
When the answer has no floor,  
When the frame is full of rain,  
When the pressure wants a record  
Made from hurry, heat, and strain,  

[Chorus]  
Need check, small light,  
Hold the gate tonight,  
Better quiet than a fracture  
Wearing certainty too bright.  

[Verse 2]  
No shame in the narrow bridge,  
No crown in the guess,  
If the record cannot hold,  
Let the answer be less.  

[Final Chorus]  
Need check, small light,  
Reason keeps its right,  
Silence over distortion  
Till the gate returns to sight.
