Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was building altars out of broken glass
Every step I took just cut me in the past
Hands full of smoke, I called it control
But it slipped right through every hole in my soul
I heard a whisper through the sirens in my head
Said, “You don’t have to dance with the dead”
But I was chained to the echo of my name
Wearing my guilt like a badge of shame
[Pre-Chorus]
I was sinking in a sea I made
Drowning in the choices I couldn’t outrun
Reaching out through the waves
Hoping someone would call me son
[Chorus]
So I threw a white flag in the fire
Let it burn every lie I’ve known
If I’m gonna fall, take me higher
To the place where I’m not alone
I let go of the weight I was hiding
Every scar, every shattered piece
If this is what it feels like dying
Then maybe this is how I breathe
[Verse 2]
I was chasing shadows in a hollow room
Every door I opened led me closer to doom
Mirrors lied but I believed the view
Didn’t recognize what I turned into
Then a light broke through like a fractured dawn
Not the kind you see, but the kind you’re drawn
It didn’t shout, didn’t force my hand
Just stood in the wreckage and made a stand
[Pre-Chorus]
I was buried underneath my pride
Six feet deep in the mess I made
But something called me from the other side
Through the dirt, through the fear, through the grave
[Chorus]
So I threw a white flag in the fire
Let it burn every lie I’ve known
If I’m gonna fall, take me higher
To the place where I’m not alone
I let go of the weight I was hiding
Every scar, every shattered piece
If this is what it feels like dying
Then maybe this is how I breathe
[Bridge] (scream / high emotion)
Break me open, I’m done pretending
I’ve been lost but I’m done defending
Every wall that I built to survive
Was the same one keeping me from life
Take the crown of thorns in my chest
Trade it out for a different breath
If surrender is what it takes
Then take it all, I’m yours to break
[Breakdown / Soft]
I don’t need the answers now
Just a hand I can’t deny
If I’m falling, let me fall
Into something more than I
[Final Chorus]
So I threw a white flag in the fire
Watched it turn into the unknown
If I’m gonna burn, take me higher
To a love that I can’t outgrow
I let go of the war inside me
Laid it down, every broken piece
If this is what it feels like dying
Then maybe this is how I finally find peace
[Outro]
In the ashes, I found a name
Wasn’t mine—but it called me the same
And I answered… I answered
