[Verse 1]
Woke up in the wreckage
Bottles on the floor like proof
Every mirror in this house
Keeps testifying truth
Heartbeat in a headlock
Breathing like I'm under clay
Every memory a weight
Pulling me away
[Pre-Chorus]
I did the damage
Burned up the map
Told my own shadow I’d never come back
But in the darkest water
Something glows
A little line of color in the undertow
[Chorus]
I’ve been drowning in regrets
In a sea I built myself
But I see a spark ahead
Like a hand from somewhere else
Yeah
I'm kicking through the shame
Breaking surface
Calling name
I was sinking
Sinking
Now I’m reaching for the light again
[Verse 2]
Ghosts around the kitchen
Laughing at the man I was
Every promise that I twisted
Tastes like iron on my tongue
I hear you in the hallway
Saying
“You can turn around”
So I plant my feet
Barefoot
On this broken ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Scars on my knuckles
Marks on my soul
All of this wreckage
It’s taking its toll
But in the muddy water
Something shines
A little stripe of sunrise on the borderline
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] Let the guilt keep screaming
I won’t bow this time
I’ll use every ugly secret
As a ladder I climb
[guitar solo]
Turn my bad decisions
Into armor on my skin
Every fall I ever took
Now a drumbeat kicking in (hey!)
[Chorus]
