[Verse 1]
I locked the doors and killed the lights
Tried to starve the silence out
Built a fortress out of cigarettes
And every doubt I ever had
Ran through alleys in my head
Looking for a place to hide
Thought if I never called Your name
You’d leave me to my night
[Pre-Chorus]
But the walls kept breathing heavier
And the dark began to speak
Something older than my fear
Was already underneath
[Chorus]
Vocatus atque non vocatus
Called or not, You’re still here
I can run until I’m empty
Still You’re standing in the mirror
Vocatus atque non vocatus
Deus aderit…
Whether I beg or turn away
The presence never quits
[Verse 2]
I drowned it under static noise
In the static of the crowd
Tried to outrun every symbol
Every dream that pulled me down
Woke up shaking on the floor
With Your silence in my bones
Realized the one I feared the most
Had never left me alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Every locked room I constructed
Every prayer I never said
You were waiting in the threshold
With a crown of quiet dread
[Chorus]
Vocatus atque non vocatus
Called or not, You’re still here
I can run until I’m empty
Still You’re standing in the mirror
Vocatus atque non vocatus
Deus aderit…
Whether I beg or turn away
The presence never quits
[Bridge]
Timor Dei… the fear that opens
Not the fear that makes me small
You don’t need my invitation
You’ve been knocking through it all
I stop running, drop the armor
Let the trembling take its place
If You’re here when I’m not calling
Then You’re here when I finally face
[Chorus]
Vocatus atque non vocatus
Called or not, You’re still here
I surrender every hiding place
And the silence becomes clear
Vocatus atque non vocatus
Deus aderit…
Not a threat and not a rescue
Just the truth I can’t outlive
[Outro]
Called or not…
You’re still here…
Called or not…
Deus aderit…
