Verse 1
I’ve been numb in the glow of a holy sign
Neon prayers in the back of my mind
They say change or you’re wasting time
But I’m still me in a different light
I’ve been dancing with ghosts I know
Every sin got a voice, it shows
If I let the old me go tonight
Will You still want what survives?
Pre-Chorus
I don’t wanna die just to feel reborn
I don’t wanna bleed for a crown of thorns
If You’re calling me into something new
Don’t erase the proof I made it through
Chorus
I don’t wanna sacrifice my soul
Just to say I’m finally whole
If You wake me up, don’t take my face
Don’t bury me alive in grace
Wake me up—I’ve been asleep too long
Still hearing my past like a favorite song
If this love is real, don’t let it break
Everything I was to who I am today
Verse 2
I see heaven in the distance now
But fear still got me on a leash somehow
They told me pain means You’re close to me
But I’ve been hurting faithfully
I don’t want a faith made out of fear
I don’t want a mask just to stand right here
If You’re truth, then look at me
I’m still fighting what You see
Pre-Chorus
I don’t wanna fake a resurrection
Just to earn a new reflection
If You’re healing me, do it slow
I’m scared of what I don’t control
Chorus
I don’t wanna sacrifice my soul
Just to say I’m finally whole
If You wake me up, don’t take my face
Don’t bury me alive in grace
Wake me up—I’ve been asleep too long
Still hearing my past like a favorite song
If this love is real, don’t let it break
Everything I was to who I am today
Bridge (low, prayer-like)
God, I’m tired of running in circles of light
Afraid of the dark, afraid of what’s right
If You change me, don’t make me disappear
I just wanna live, not vanish here
Final Chorus (lift, echo)
Wake me up—don’t bury me awake
I’m not perfect, I just wanna change
Redeem the mess, don’t erase my name
Let me rise without the shame
Outro
If I wake up, let it be real
Not a wound I’m taught to conceal
Just me… learning how to breathe
Alive, awake, on my knees
