Light through the Breakthrough

[Verse 1 — rapid triplets, dense multis, dark-to-light storytelling]

I was stuck in a rut, in a cut, feelin’ shut from the sun,
Feelin’ numb, feelin’ done, like my lungs couldn’t run from the weight I’d become.
Every thought was a knot, every plot in my mind was a bind,
Tryna find any sign that the light wasn’t dyin’ behind.

I was lost in the fog, like a cog in a broken machine,
Feelin’ small, feelin’ mean, tryna crawl out the scene where I couldn’t be seen.
Had the pain in my brain like a chain, like a stain that remained,
Like the rain in my veins kept sayin’ I’d never escape from the strain.

But I fought through the static, the panic, the habit of havoc,
Turned the tragic to magic, the damage to tactics,
Now I’m grabbing the fragments, stackin’ them back into passion,
Till the ashes I’m trapped in turn to matches I’m striking for action.

HOOK — (uplifting, melodic, still lyrical)

When the darkness tries to drown you, breathe and break.
Every crack inside your spirit lets the light escape.
Yeah the nights get deep, but your heart won’t break —
Keep climbin’, keep risin’, there’s a life to make.
Stand up — stand up — let the fear fall through you.
Pain don’t own you — let the hope renew you.

[Verse 2 — faster triplets, heavier internal rhyme webs, breakthrough moment]

I was down in the pit, feelin’ sick, feelin’ hit by the grip of a shadow that wouldn’t admit
That I still had a spark, had a mark, had a heart that could start
Somethin’ bigger than the dark that was pullin’ me apart.

I was pacin’, shakin’, breakin’,
Mind racin’, chasin’, fadin’,
But every tear that I tasted was proof that I made it,
‘Cause the pain that I hated was fuel when I faced it.

I had days where I prayed, felt afraid, felt betrayed by my brain,
But I stayed in the game, rearranged every strain till it changed into gain.
Now I rise from the lows, let the growth in my soul take control,
Turn the holes in my road to the gold that I hold when I roll.

And I learned that the hurt doesn’t mean that you’re weak,
It just means that you’re deep, and you feel what they keep
Tryna hide in the silence — but you fight through the violence,
Till your mind finds alignment, and your life finds its guidance.

HOOK (Repeat)

When the darkness tries to drown you, breathe and break.
Every crack inside your spirit lets the light escape.
Yeah the nights get deep, but your heart won’t break —
Keep climbin’, keep risin’, there’s a life to make.
Stand up — stand up — let the fear fall through you.
Pain don’t own you — let the hope renew you.
