Spring Doesn’t Sell You Anything

Verse 1
They told you change comes wrapped in plastic
A five-step plan and panic tactics
Midnight ads and glowing screens
Promise you new souls in clean routines

Pre-Chorus
But outside your window, the world just breathes
No flash sale, no tricks up its sleeves
A branch breaks bud without a sound
While you scroll through silence breaking down

Chorus
Spring doesn’t sell you anything
No barcode on the breath of wind
It whispers softly, "start again"
Without a cost, without a spin
The sun will rise, it always did
No clickbait cure, no branded sin
Spring doesn’t sell you anything
It just lets you begin

Verse 2
You chase your worth in glowing malls
Fake freedom echoing through walls
But in the dirt, a seed rebels
It doesn’t ask, it just compels

Pre-Chorus
Forget the gurus, apps, and lies
There’s truth in clouds and open skies
While every ad screams what you lack
The moss just grows, it never asks

Chorus
Spring doesn’t sell you anything
No patent on the robin’s hymn
It doesn’t ask you to improve
It only dares you just to move
To feel again, to shed your skin
To rise without the noise within
Spring doesn’t sell you anything
It just lets you begin

Bridge
Not everything broken needs fixing
Not every bruise needs a name
Not every path is a product
Not every loss is a shame

Final Chorus
Spring doesn’t sell you anything
No pitch, no code, no marketing
It opens up and lets you in
Not perfect—just alive again
The rain, the dirt, the aching limb
The breath you hold, the life you mend
Spring doesn’t sell you anything
It just lets you begin
