[Intro]
Whispered gravity, a breath held tight in the chest
I count the shadows on the wall, they press, they press
[Verse 1]
Tall walls rise from the floor like storm-swept cliffs of doubt
My feet keep stepping back, but the bottom sings me out
Chrome mirrors glare, reflecting a seam where courage sleeps
Footsteps echo in a corridor labeled “never” and “we’ll see.”
[Pre-Chorus]
I wear yesterday like a suit that never fits right
Every scar a compass needle pointing toward the night
But the air grows thin, I feel a crack begin to sing
Maybe breaking is the only way the heart learns to breathe Again
[Chorus]
I want to shed this yesterday, let the skin shed like rain
Unbind these chained apologies that echo in my brain
If light is a fragile thread, I’ll pull until it’s seen
I won’t fade away; I’ll rise, though I’m broken and keen
[Verse 2]
Edges glare sharper than knives where memories cut cold
I name each one aloud, and they melt into the old
The walls dissolve in tremors of a stubborn, quiet plea
To be the walls I choose, not the ones that imprison me
[Pre-Chorus]
I lift the mask that clings like frost upon a dawn-lit pane
Let the truth pour out in breath, a river through the pain
I gather every fracture, lay them in a gentle seam
From shards to light, from fear to something like a dream
[Chorus]
I want to shed this yesterday, let the skin shed like rain
Unbind these chained apologies that echo in my brain
If light is a fragile thread, I’ll pull until it’s seen
I won’t fade away; I’ll rise, though I’m broken and keen
[Bridge]
Weight, release? I test the air and find a kinder spine
Cracks become a doorway, and the old skin falls in line
The floor remembers footsteps stepping toward a brighter day
I’m not what held me—I'm the courage making a way
[Chorus]
I want to shed this yesterday, let the skin shed like rain
Unbind these chained apologies that echo in my brain
If light is a fragile thread, I’ll pull until it’s seen
I won’t fade away; I’ll rise, though I’m broken and keen
[Outro]
Weight loosens, walls crumble, I breathe at last and stay
A soft, stubborn dawn breaks through the edges of my grey
I’m still fragile, still learning, but I’m choosing to begin
To break the glass, to hold the day, and to live again
