I’ve been walking through the questions
Like a pilgrim in the dark
Every truth I thought I carried
Turned to embers in my palms
People say I’m overthinking
But they don’t hear the fire roar
Every answer births another
And I’m left wanting more
I’m not your prophet, not your cure
I’m just trying to make sense of the storm inside my chest
I got ashes on my hands
From the lives I’ve lived before
I keep rising, I keep falling
Like a phoenix at the door
I can’t carry every burden
I can’t bleed for every soul
I’m just searching for a meaning
In a world that won’t let go
I’ve been wrestling with the questions
Faith and fear both pull me in
Every myth becomes a mirror
Showing who I’ve never been
People want a simple story
But my heart don’t speak in lines
It’s a tapestry of shadows
Woven through with firelight
I’m not your savior, not your sin
I’m just trying to find the place where all my pieces fit
I got ashes on my hands
From the lives I’ve lived before
I keep rising, I keep falling
Like a phoenix at the door
I can’t carry every burden
I can’t bleed for every soul
I’m just searching for a meaning
In a world that won’t let go
If I break, let me break open
If I burn, let it be truth
If I rise, let it be chosen
Not a mask I never used
I’m not perfect, I’m not hollow
I’m a question wrapped in flame
But I’ll keep walking through the fire
Till I recognize my name
I got ashes on my hands
But I’m learning what they’re for
Every ending is a doorway
Every fall becomes a roar
I can’t carry every burden
But I’ll carry what is mine
I’m not human just in weakness
I’m human by design
