Edge of Power

[Intro] The room hums like a locked breath, lights thin as frost on skin I count the pulses in my wrists, the world holds its chin A kettle sighs, a clock forgets to tick, time slows to a hinge I’m standing at the doorway of the could-be and the might-be edge of binge [Verse 1] Between the shadows and the buzzing throne of doubt, I breathe slow Salt of fear on my tongue, tasting what I’m willing to overthrow My thoughts tug at each other, a tug-of-war with the future’s face I feel the heat coil in my chest, a spark pressing for a grace [Pre-Chorus] If I blink, will the moment slip away like rain from a windowpane? If I step, will the ground rise up or swallow me in flame? [Chorus] I’m edging toward the power I’ve dreamt in quiet rooms Where whispers coil into thunder and the night blooms The choice burns bright, a line drawn in the stormy air I take a breath, I bear the weight, I answer the dare [Verse 2] The room smells of rain-soaked metal and old cedar wood I hear my name in the echo of a door turning in its wood Internal rainstorms calm as I map the risks with careful eyes A single decision, a hinge of fate, a flame that never dies [Pre-Chorus] If I hesitate, tomorrow will sing a softer, safer tune If I leap, I stitch my own horizon with a daring rune [Chorus] I’m edging toward the power I’ve dreamt in quiet rooms Where whispers coil into thunder and the night blooms The choice burns bright, a line drawn in the stormy air I take a breath, I bear the weight, I answer the dare [Bridge] Footfalls of doubt fade as my heart conducts the drum I sift through fears, find the seed of who I’ve become A tremor turns to courage, a shadow learns to stand I raise my eyes, the future’s map now in my hands [Chorus] I’m edging toward the power I’ve dreamt in quiet rooms Where whispers coil into thunder and the night blooms The choice burns bright, a line drawn in the stormy air I take a breath, I bear the weight, I answer the dare [Outro] The door sighs open to a dawn I’ve carved with steady hands I cross the threshold, fate tilts true, and I finally stand
