[Verse 1]
Wake up on the floor again
Same ceiling
Same crack in the paint
Dust in my lungs
Name on the pill case
Clock says "late"
Heart says "too late"
Coffee goes cold in my hand
Stare through the window
Can't stand my reflection
Street full of faces that blur when they pass
I’m stuck in the frame
In the wrong direction
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been walking in a circle
Feet carving out a cage
Every step a quiet funeral
But something’s calling from the haze
[Chorus]
I’m a lost soul
But I’m finding my way
Through the ashes
Through the weight of the shame
If I bleed out every part of my pain
I’ll be broken
But I’ll still be awake
I’m a lost soul
But I’m finding my way
[Verse 2]
Hands shake when I reach for the light
Switch clicks on
Shadows still stay
Voices in the walls spell old mistakes
Every whisper says "you won’t change"
But there’s a crack in the noise
Just a thin white line
Like a note I forgot how to sing
[low vocal register] If I follow that sound through the rust in my chest
Maybe bone turns back into wings
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar becomes a roadmap
Every bruise another sign
All the nights I nearly vanished
Pull me closer to the line
[Chorus]
[Breakdown]
[whispered vocals] Breathe in the dark
Let it all rise up
[screamed backing] LET IT ALL RISE UP
[fierce double kicks
Syncopated chugs]
I was dead in the water
Now I’m stomping on the waves
I was chained to the corner
Now the links are in my veins
I’m the echo and the answer
I’m the hostage and the key
If the world tries to erase me
I will carve my name in steel
[Chorus]
[Outro]
[crescendo]
I was a lost soul
But I’m finding my way
Step by step
Out of my grave
