Cathedral of Me

Verse 1 (soft, echoing)
I built a home inside your chest
Lit every candle, called it blessed
I sang your name like it was holy
But you just held me like you owed me

I laid my body at your feet
Like something sacred, incomplete
You took the light I used to carry
Turned it to something temporary

⸻

Pre-Chorus (rising)
Oh, I was reaching out my hands
Like I could make you understand

⸻

Chorus (BIG, powerful)
I am not your quiet offering
Not something you can take and leave
I am thunder, I am suffering
I am every part of me

You don’t get to touch my heaven
Then walk away like it was free
I gave you more than I was given
Built a whole cathedral out of me

⸻

Verse 2 (building intensity)
You loved me best when I was breaking
When all my edges needed shaping
You called me wild, you called me fire
Then blamed me for your own desire

I danced for you like I was chosen
While you stayed cold and I stayed open
I poured my soul into your silence
And you just answered me with violence

⸻

Pre-Chorus (stronger)
Oh, I was begging for a sign
While you were drawing out the line

⸻

Chorus (bigger, layered)
I am not your quiet offering
Not something you can take and leave
I am thunder, I am suffering
I am every part of me

You don’t get to touch my heaven
Then walk away like it was free
I gave you more than I was given
Built a whole cathedral out of me

⸻

Bridge (chant-like → explosive)
And I will not be your salvation
If you only love my devastation
I will rise out of the wreckage you made
Turn every tear into a tidal wave

⸻

Final Chorus (full power, choir energy)
I am not your quiet offering
I am not something you can keep
I am raging, I am everything
You were never meant to reach

You don’t get to taste my heaven
Then disappear into the sea
I gave you all my resurrection
Built a whole cathedral out of me

haunting → explosive, drums + choir buildup
