[Intro: Gritty Acoustic Slide Guitar, Deep Theta Binaural Beats, Warm Rhodes Piano]
(Mmm, let the smoke clear)
(Yeah, breathing it out)
(Sha-ma-ha-ra! We are standing in the calm now!)
(Shoo-wop, shoo-wop)
[Verse 1]
I used to think the fire was the only way to grow
Burning down the bridges, nowhere left to go
Scraping through the ashes just to find a little spark
Living on the edge of the shadows and the dark
(Shadows and the dark, yeah)
But the flames get heavy when you're always on the run
I was bracing for the storm before the setting of the sun
[Pre-Chorus: Rhythmic Finger Snaps, Rising 808 Sub-Bass Build]
But I feel the frequency shifting in the room
(Shifting in the room)
No more waiting for the heavy, no more waiting for the doom
I’m trading in the chaos for a brand new kind of flight
Watch me turn this heavy smoke into a solid beam of light!
[Chorus: Explosive Afro-Beat Percussion, Massive 808 Drop, Shouting Gospel Choir]
I’m rising from the ashes, but I’m stepping in the honey!
(Step into the sweet, yeah!)
Don’t need the butterflies when the skies are getting sunny
(Sunny, sunny, sunny!)
I used to crave the panic, now I’m anchored in the peace
This is the harvest, this is the release!
(L-L-Let it go, let it go!)
Out of the fire, right into the sweet!
[Verse 2]
I keep looking over my shoulder for a ghost
Expecting all the things that I used to fear the most
But the ground right here is solid, the foundation isn't cracked
(No cracks, no breaking)
I’m moving strictly forward, I am never looking back
You pour the quiet over every single scar
I didn't even know a love could ever reach this far
[Pre-Chorus: Rhythmic Finger Snaps, Rising 808 Sub-Bass Build]
And I feel the frequency shifting in the room
(Shifting in the room, uh-huh)
No more waiting for the heavy, no more waiting for the doom
I’m trading in the chaos for a brand new kind of flight
Watch me turn this heavy smoke into a solid beam of light!
[Chorus: Explosive Afro-Beat Percussion, Massive 808 Drop, Shouting Gospel Choir]
I’m rising from the ashes, but I’m stepping in the honey!
(Step into the sweet, yeah!)
Don’t need the butterflies when the skies are getting sunny
(Sunny, sunny, sunny!)
I used to crave the panic, now I’m anchored in the peace
This is the harvest, this is the release!
(L-L-Let it go, let it go!)
Out of the fire, right into the sweet!
[Verse 3: Stripped Back, Just Acoustic Guitar and Isochronic Heartbeat]
They tell you that the healing is a quiet kind of slow
But nobody ever tells you how it feels to let it go
To finally drop the armor and stand out in the rain
(Wash it away, wash it away)
To realize you don't need to be fueled by the pain
I am softer than I was, but I'm stronger than I've been
(Stronger now!)
This is the exact moment that the real life begins.
[Bridge: Acapella Breakdown, Handclaps only]
(Stomp, clap! Stomp, clap!)
I am stepping in the honey! (Yeah!)
I am leaving all the smoke! (Yeah!)
(Sha-ba-ra-ta! Break every single yoke!)
Every chain is shattering, every fear is gone!
I am walking in the daylight, I am bringing in the dawn!
(Ski-bi-di-bop, bop, yeah!)
[Final Chorus: Maximum Energy, Soaring Female Belt, Full Choir]
I’m rising from the ashes, but I’m stepping in the honey!
(Step into the sweet, yeah!)
Don’t need the butterflies when the skies are getting sunny
(Sunny, sunny, sunny!)
I used to crave the panic, now I’m anchored in the peace
This is the harvest, this is the release!
(L-L-Let it go, let it go!)
Out of the fire, right into the sweet!
[Outro: Slow Fade, Rhodes Piano, 528Hz Healing Tones, Soft Rain]
(Right into the sweet...)
(Mmm, resting in the calm)
(No more butterflies)
(Just peace.)
