The muse doesn't pick a lane. Neither does Ward C Locke.
No genre, no destination, no preconceived notion of what the music should sound like. Just whatever the muse is pointing at today, followed honestly and made with whatever tools work. The results don't always fit a category. That's the point. Come along if you're curious where it goes next.

Story behind the song
A guitar line that feels like a heartbeat, then synths and percussion as something gets crossed, then open space on the other side. Written from the stuck place between two versions of yourself. The line stops being a barrier and becomes a path, but only after you've stood at it long enough to feel the weight.

Lyrics
Wake up in the middle of the night
There's someone in the mirror I used to know
Got that look like they've been waiting
For an answer I still don't have
About how we made it this far alone
All those stories that we told ourselves
Just to make it through another day
Some of them kept us breathing
Some of them locked us away
Now I'm sorting through the wreckage
Trying to find what's real
Yeah, trying to find what's real
There's a line between who you were and who you are
And you're walking it every single day
Some days you're still that frightened kid
Some days you're strong enough to stand
Most days you're somewhere in the middle
Still figuring it out
They say it gets easier with time
But that's not really what you need to hear
The question is: does it get honest?
Can you stop pretending
That the weight was never there?
The past doesn't just disappear
It just learns to speak a little softer
And the voice that used to scream
Might finally sound like someone
You could trust
There's a line between who you were and who you are
And you're walking it every single day
Some days you're still that frightened kid
Some days you're strong enough to stand
Most days you're somewhere in the middle
Still figuring it out
There's a line between who you were and who you are
And you're walking it every single day
Some days you're still that frightened kid
Some days you're strong enough to stand
Most days you're somewhere in the middle
Yeah, somewhere in the middle
Still figuring it out
The mirror's empty now
But you know they'll be back
And maybe next time
You'll have better answers
Or maybe you'll just listen
