[Intro]
Rain through the blinds, the clock keeps time
Breath in the quiet, I measure the lines
[Verse 1]
How am I feeling, when the coffee goes cold
The numbers climb on the screen, but my heart feels old
I’m weighing my worth on a ledger of days
Trying to keep steady, while my mind wanders astray
[Pre-Chorus]
Pressure hums softly under the skin
Will I break or rise again from within
[Chorus]
I’m stubborn with dawn, I’m gentle with night
I’m counting the gaps that I lantern-light
If I can breathe through this weight and stay true
I’ll find a small thunder that carries me through
[Verse 2]
The routine repeats like rain on the pane
Some days I smile, some days I strain
Balance the mood with the work that I show
Hide what’s unfinished, pretend I’m in glow
[Pre-Chorus]
I ask myself softly what I’m really worth
Beyond paycheck whispers and what’s on the merth
[Chorus]
I’m stubborn with dawn, I’m gentle with night
I’m counting the gaps that I lantern-light
If I can breathe through this weight and stay true
I’ll find a small thunder that carries me through
[Bridge]
Let me feel the ache, let me feel the rise
Grace in the ordinary, courage in disguise
[Chorus]
I’m stubborn with dawn, I’m gentle with night
I’m counting the gaps that I lantern-light
If I can breathe through this weight and stay true
I’ll find a small thunder that carries me through
[Outro]
Some days are puzzles, some days a flame
But I’m here, I’m here, naming my name
