Blaze unseen

Verse 1

I used to measure my worth in the color of days,

In how long I could hold what was slowly decaying.

Kept every leaf that was turning to brown,

Afraid if I let go, I’d just fall to the ground.

But something inside me started to break,

Like ice on a river too heavy to take.

And I heard in the silence, beneath all the noise,

A truth that doesn’t shout—it just quietly knows.

Pre-Chorus

Not everything living is meant to stay green,

Some things are reborn in the in-between.

Where loss isn’t loss, but a change in the skin,

And endings are just where beginnings begin.

Chorus

I won’t cling to a fading green,

When I’m meant to be a blaze unseen.

I’ll let the wind take what it needs,

And trust the coming of the seeds.

I won’t fear what I’m called to become,

Even if it means burning undone.

There’s a fire that time cannot erase—

I’ll learn to live in that hidden blaze.

Verse 2

I’ve walked through the quiet where nothing remains,

Just echoes of laughter, and salt from the rain.

Thought I was empty, but I was in rest,

A field in the dark before what comes next.

Every loss was a lesson I couldn’t yet read,

Every crack was just room for a deeper seed.

Now I don’t run from the turning of days,

I stand in the ash where the old self gave way.

Pre-Chorus

And I stopped asking the night to make sense of the flame,

Some things only grow when they’re given a name.

Not as a wound, but a light in disguise,

Waiting for courage to open my eyes.

Chorus

I won’t cling to a fading green,

When I’m meant to be a blaze unseen.

I’ll let the wind take what it needs,

And trust the coming of the seeds.

I won’t fear what I’m called to become,

Even if it means burning undone.

There’s a fire that time cannot erase—

I’ll learn to live in that hidden blaze.

Bridge

So burn me down to what is true,

Not what I lost, but what I move into.

If I must fall, let it be clean,

Not as an end, but what I’ve never seen.

And in the smoke, I finally find

A version of me I left behind.

Final Chorus

I won’t cling to a fading green,

When I’m meant to be a blaze unseen.

I’ll let the wind take what it needs,

And trust the coming of the seeds.

I am not what I used to be—

I am the fire that sets me free.

And in the ash where I used to stay,

I rise in a quieter, truer way.

Outro (soft, repeating)

A blaze unseen…

A blaze unseen…

Not gone… just free…

A blaze unseen…
