[Intro]
Wake the dust beneath the floor
Count the cracks across the door
Something buried starts to breathe
Something underneath me
[Verse 1]
I kept my hands around the wheel
While every warning turned to steel
The room was shrinking inch by inch
I learned exactly where it split
A pulse beneath the concrete hums
A thousand locked and loaded drums
You drew a line across my name
I crossed it standing in the flame
[Pre-Chorus]
No more waiting for permission
No more kneeling to the noise
From the wreckage, from the silence
I can finally hear my voice
[Chorus]
I awaken, I awaken
With the weight of the world in my chest
I was broken, now I’m chosen
To become what survives every test
Let the old skin fall away
I won’t vanish, I won’t fade
I awaken, I awaken
And I’m taking back the breath you stole away
[Verse 2]
I saw the fear behind your grin
A paper crown, a hollow king
You built a cage from borrowed rules
Then called the ones inside it fools
Now every scar becomes a map
Every loss becomes a match
I’ve got thunder in my blood
And I’m done mistaking sleep for love
[Pre-Chorus]
No more waiting for permission
No more kneeling to the noise
From the wreckage, from the silence
I can finally hear my voice
[Chorus]
I awaken, I awaken
With the weight of the world in my chest
I was broken, now I’m chosen
To become what survives every test
Let the old skin fall away
I won’t vanish, I won’t fade
I awaken, I awaken
And I’m taking back the breath you stole away
[Bridge]
If I fall, I rise louder
If I burn, I leave a mark
There is no returning backward
Once you name the dark
[Breakdown]
Cut the chain
Break the lock
Feel the ground
Feel it knock
No disguise
No retreat
I was sleeping
Now I’m heat
[Final Chorus]
I awaken, I awaken
With the weight of the world in my chest
I was broken, now I’m chosen
To become what survives every test
Let the old skin fall away
I won’t vanish, I won’t fade
I awaken, I awaken
And I’m taking back the breath you stole away
[Outro]
Wake the dust beneath the floor
I’m not who I was before
AWAKEN
