let it be my name

Verse

I grew up measuring silence

By how long it could last

By how much truth you could swallow

And still call it the past

Some wounds don’t come from impact

They come from being ignored

From surviving every moment

No one noticed you were torn

Pre-Chorus

They drew a line in the dirt

Said “this is where you fall”

But I kept breathing

I dident fall, not breake,

No not at all

Chorus

I will not vanish into patience

I will not soften my name

Some wars don’t end with a crown

They end with staying the same

I will not vanish into patience

Or kneel to the soundless ground

I’m still here — still breathing

Still standig on the ground

Verse

I’ve followed maps made of fear

Called them plans for my life

I’ve been told “be grateful for less”

Like hunger was something polite

But I’ve also felt weight in my chest

That refused to give in

Not hope, not faith

Just a pulse saying “begin”

Pre-Chorus

I don’t believe in clean endings

I believe in the scar

Chorus

I will not vanish into patience

I will not soften my name

Some wars don’t end with a crown

They end with staying the same

I will not vanish into patience

Or kneel to the soundless ground

I’m still here — still breathing

Still making a sound

Still standig on the ground

Still standig on the ground

Let them praise the untouched

Let them honor the clean

I was shaped by the waiting

By the almost

By the in-between

If this is all that remains of me

Then it’s enough to stand

A life that refused erasure

A will they couldn’t sand

Final Chorus

I will not vanish into patience

I will not dissolve into doubt

Some victories don’t look like triumph

They look like holding out

I will not vanish into patience

Not even unseen, unbowed

I’m still here — still breathing

Still making a sound

Outro

No need for applause

Or for release

Just a life that chose to stay

If survival is all they remember

Then let it be my name

Then let it be my name
