Verse 1
The shadows hit harder
Than anyone ever sees.
Some nights I’m holding on
With shaking hands and breaking knees.
I’ve watched the daylight vanish,
Felt the cold crawl up my spine—
But somewhere in the silence
I hear a heartbeat that’s still mine.
Pre-Chorus
I’ve fallen through the dark before,
Thought I’d never rise again—
But every time the night hits deep,
I find a thread to pull me in.
Chorus
And there’s a lightbreak in the darkness,
A crack across the black.
A whisper saying “breathe again,”
When everything goes flat.
I know the world keeps crashing,
I know the pain still stings—
But even in the coldest darkest silence,
I feel the dawn calling me.
⸻
Verse 2
I’ve drowned in quiet suffering,
Lost count of every fall.
But I’ve learned that even broken bones
Remember how to stand at all.
Hope doesn’t come in thunder,
Doesn’t shine like morning gold—
Sometimes it’s just a trembling spark
Refusing to let go.
Pre-Chorus
I’m not out of the shadows yet,
But I’m learning how to see—
That somewhere in the dying light,
There’s still a future calling me.
Chorus
And there’s a lightbreak in the darkness,
A crack across the black.
A whisper saying “breathe again,”
When everything goes flat.
I know the world keeps crashing,
I know the pain still stings—
But even in the coldest darkest silence,
I feel the dawn calling me.
⸻
Bridge
I used to think surviving
Meant I had to stand alone—
But I’m learning how to reach out
When the dark becomes my home.
Even fractured, even trembling,
There’s a fire in my chest—
Quiet, but it’s rising—
Burning through the emptiness.
⸻
Chorus
There’s a lightbreak in the darkness,
And I’m holding on this time.
A flicker turning into flame
Somewhere deep inside.
Yeah, the night still tries to claim me,
But I’m stronger than it thinks—
But even in the coldest darkest silence,
I feel the dawn calling me.
⸻
Tag
Not lost.
Not finished.
The dawn is calling me.
