BREAK THE SURFACE (Out of the Dust, Part II)[Intro]GrizzlyJones:The gold faded.The smoke cleared.But the air in this archive is finally moving.I can hear my own heartbeat again.Let's see what's left under the ashes.[Verse 1]GrizzlyJones:Step out of the corner where the shadow got burnedPick up the brass frame, look at what I just learnedThe floorboards are steady, the temperature is rightBut my clothes are still dusty from the middle of the fightI rub my hands together just to feel the blood flowStaring at the spot where the bone used to showThe skeletal whisper is gone from the shelfAnd for the first time in years, I can look at myself.[Chorus]GrizzlyJones:'Cause the surface is breaking, the pressure is gone!The history is heavy but I'm carrying it on!Yeah, the room might be quiet and the archive is oldBut the story we're writing is beginning to unfold!Look out at the horizon where the boundaries bendThis isn't the funeral, it's the start of the endThe dust had its moment, it did what it couldBut I'm standing upright on the stone and the wood.[Verse 2]GrizzlyJones:Open up the heavy iron lock on the chestNo more suffocating water pressing down on my chestI pull back the curtains, let the sunlight hit the floorUnlock the deadbolt on the front archive doorThe air outside is biting but it tastes like a winA clean slate waiting for the day to beginThey thought the cold routine would just wash me awayBut I kept the spark hidden for this exact day.[Chorus]GrizzlyJones:'Cause the surface is breaking, the pressure is gone!The history is heavy but I'm carrying it on!Yeah, the room might be quiet and the archive is oldBut the story we're writing is beginning to unfold!Look out at the horizon where the boundaries bendThis isn't the funeral, it's the start of the endThe dust had its moment, it did what it couldBut I'm standing upright on the stone and the wood.[Bridge]GrizzlyJones:Did they think the archive was a permanent cage?(No, the fire is ready for a brand new page...)Did they think the loneliness would swallow the name?(No, the memory is turning to a living flame...)GrizzlyJones:Leave the basement! Leave the fear!GrizzlyJones:The sky is clear![Chorus]GrizzlyJones:'Cause the surface is breaking, the pressure is gone!The history is heavy but I'm carrying it on!Yeah, the room might be quiet and the archive is oldBut the story we're writing is beginning to unfold!Look out at the horizon where the boundaries bendThis isn't the funeral, it's the start of the endThe dust had its moment, it did what it couldBut I'm standing upright on the stone and the wood.[Outro]GrizzlyJones:Standing upright...Out of the room.Out of the dark.The air is clean now.Walk.
