[Verse 1]
Woke up with the weight on my tongue
Heart heavy like I swallowed a stone
Tried money, tried love, tried the run
Still felt like a ghost in my home
Eyes open but I'm stuck in a dream
Same ceiling I been staring for years
Scroll glow painting shame on my cheeks
Chasing halos in a house full of mirrors
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna find my inner heaven
Past the smoke, past the fear, past the tension
If the sky's in my chest, let it open
Let it open, let it open (yeah)
I been climbing through the noise, through the pressure
Every scar on my soul is a lesson
If the gate's in my mind, let it open
Let it open, inner heaven
[Verse 2]
Mama said, "Boy, talk to the light"
I was busy talking back to the dark
Every prayer sounded more like a fight
Every tear left a ring on my heart
I been fasting from the lies I believed
Old me tryna drag me to sleep
Now I breathe like the air is a gift
Counting blessings where I used to count grief (yeah)
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna find my inner heaven
Past the smoke, past the fear, past the tension
If the sky's in my chest, let it open
Let it open, let it open (woah)
I been climbing through the noise, through the pressure
Every scar on my soul is a lesson
If the gate's in my mind, let it open
Let it open, inner heaven
[Bridge]
What if the crown ain't gold, it's quiet?
What if the high I need is silence?
What if the love I chase
Been sitting in my ribcage, waiting in the silence? (hey)
Hands up, but I'm not surrendering
I'm just learning how to stop pretending
Close my eyes, and I fall, then I land
On the peace I been holding in my hands
[Chorus]
I'm just tryna find my inner heaven
Past the smoke, past the fear, past the tension
If the sky's in my chest, let it open
Let it open, let it open (yeah)
I been climbing through the noise, through the pressure
Every scar on my soul is a blessing
If the gate's in my mind, let it open
Let it open, inner heaven
