[Verse 1]
Born into chaos
Doors slam through the walls
Names thrown like dishes
Glass in the halls
You smelled like liquor
You spoke like a storm
I learned every shadow
Before I was born
[Chorus]
But I hear that voice again
Soft in the fire, like a hidden friend
“It’s hard, but you’re safe
I’m always guarding your space”
I close my eyes, it takes my hand
And I escape into a magic land
[Verse 2]
Sheets for a castle
Closet for a throne
Drawing little portals
So I’m not alone
Dragons in the driveway
Stars under the bed
Whole worlds in a notebook
When you screamed in red
[Chorus]
I hear that voice again
Soft in the fire, like a hidden friend
“It’s hard, but you’re safe
I’m always guarding your space”
I close my eyes, it takes my hand
And I escape into a magic land
[Bridge]
Maybe that angel
Was just future-me (oh)
Learning to speak
From the hurt I’d see
Every time the house
Shook like it would break
Something taller than the fear
Kept my heart awake
[Chorus]
I hear that voice again
Soft in the fire, like a hidden friend
“It’s hard, but you’re safe
I’m always guarding your space”
I close my eyes, it takes my hand
I’m growing up in that magic land
Yeah, I survived that broken plan
With a voice in the chaos
And a world in my hands
