Sharp Turn

[Intro] A flicker in the dark, a quiet, timing-spark The room tilts as I feel the truth hit hard [Verse 1] I counted all the chances like pages in a war Heartbeat tapping drums on a closed-lit door You wore the blame like a crown that never fit Now I’m untying all the knots you never quit [Pre-Chorus] But the mirror doesn’t falter, it shows a sharper me A sharper edge of mercy, a sharper set of feet [Chorus] I’m walking out with my shadow in my wake, intact I’m louder now, the future’s mine to take back No more footprints in dust of what we used to be I rise, I rise, I rise above what hurt me [Verse 2] The clock keeps ticking like a metronome of air Breathing out your gravity, I loosen every hair Pages tremble where your chapters used to stay I pen a brighter ending, burn the faded gray [Pre-Chorus] I lace my hands with courage, tighten up my will The storm outside is loud, but I’m still [Chorus] I’m walking out with my shadow in my wake, intact I’m louder now, the future’s mine to take back No more footprints in dust of what we used to be I rise, I rise, I rise above what hurt me [Bridge] The silence sings a verdict, I hear it clear and true Break the glass that held me in, see what I can do [Chorus] I’m walking out with my shadow in my wake, intact I’m louder now, the future’s mine to take back No more footprints in dust of what we used to be I rise, I rise, I rise above what hurt me [Outro] Turn the key, I’m finally free, a brand-new scene to claim Heart learned its lesson, resilience lights the flame
