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
