Lyrics
[Intro] The walls lean closer every night I count the cracks beneath the white A pulse beneath the floorboards wakes And every breath begins to shake [Verse 1] You left your mark inside the door A little deeper than before I dragged the weight from room to room And fed the silence from the gloom I learned to sleep beside the blame To wear the damage like a name But something underneath the dust Still bares its teeth, still gathers rust [Pre-Chorus] I feel the pressure rise I see it in your eyes No more retreat No more defeat [Chorus] I won’t disappear beneath this weight I won’t let the ruin choose my fate When the ground gives way, I’ll stand awake With a heart still burning through the break You can pull the sky down over me I’ll become the force I need to be [Verse 2] The photographs are face-down now No borrowed vows, no sacred ground I cut the thread that pulled me back And found a road beyond the black Your voice still circles in my head A loaded room, a word unsaid But every scar has taught me how To turn the wound against you now [Pre-Chorus] I feel the pressure rise I see it in your eyes No more retreat No more defeat [Chorus] I won’t disappear beneath this weight I won’t let the ruin choose my fate When the ground gives way, I’ll stand awake With a heart still burning through the break You can pull the sky down over me I’ll become the force I need to be [Bridge] Take back the years Take back the fear Take every promise you abandoned here I am not the sum Of what you’ve undone I am the fire after everyone runs [Breakdown] Bring it down Let it break I am more than what you take Bring it down Watch me rise No more hiding from your lies [Final Chorus] I won’t disappear beneath this weight I won’t let the ruin choose my fate When the ground gives way, I’ll stand awake With a heart still burning through the break You can pull the sky down over me I’ll become the force I need to be [Outro] The walls lean closer, then they fall I hear my own name through it all No borrowed voice, no borrowed flame I walk out carrying my name
