[Intro]
I go blank starin’ at these lines,
Like the world froze right between the signs,
Too tired to fight, too numb to cry,
Livin’ half asleep while the years went by.
Static in my chest, ghosts in my head,
Carried everybody else while my own soul bled,
Every closed door, every late-night crack,
Built the road that’s leadin’ me back.
[Verse 1]
All this noise just to test my time,
Everybody pullin’ while I lose my mind,
Waitin’ on a moment, waitin’ on a spark,
Tryna build a future from a room gone dark.
Mirror lookin’ at me like,
“Who you gonna be?”
A shadow? A memory?
Or finally free?
I got wounds I never showed,
Dreams buried deep below,
But pressure makes diamonds,
Now I finally know.
[Pre-Chorus]
Hello…
Yeah it’s time to wake up,
No more shrinkin’ down just to save us,
No more silence,
No more chains,
No more carryin’ everybody’s weight.
[Chorus]
Wake up,
Feel the blood rush back,
Burstin’ through the cracks,
Yeah I’m takin’ my life back.
Wake up,
Hear the drums attack,
Heart beatin’ like a match,
No more holdin’ back.
Stack it up,
Build it from the pain,
Turn storms into gold in my veins,
I survived every season I lacked,
Now I rise…
No more slack.
[Verse 2]
I was drownin’ in love that forgot my name,
Set myself on fire just to keep ‘em safe,
Now the ashes got rhythm,
Now the scars got sound,
Now the girl that broke apart
Don’t back down.
I learned:
Love ain’t losin’ yourself,
Peace ain’t pain on a shelf,
And strength ain’t how much you bleed,
It’s knowin’ when to finally leave.
So watch me.
Slow breath.
New skin.
New era I’m steppin’ in.
[Bridge]
Hands to the sky,
Feet on the ground,
I can hear my soul gettin’ louder now.
No fear.
No sleep.
No chains on me.
I was buried in pressure…
Now I bloom through concrete.
[Final Chorus]
Wake up,
Feel the whole world shift,
Every scar’s a gift,
Every fall was fuel for this.
Wake up,
I remember my name,
I survived the flames,
Now there’s power in my veins.
Stack it up,
Peace, love, purpose, wealth,
Built a whole new life from hell,
And the woman lookin’ back?
Yeah…
She finally came back.
