Edge of the Storm

Lyrics

[INTRO] I’m standing on this edge, heart racing, thoughts unhinged People shout, they laugh, they want to see me fall [VERSE 1] I try to keep it quiet, let my spirit breathe free But the world keeps calling out, it’s like a storm inside of me Friends are there, they hold me, they want me to stay alive But we’re not alone, we’re just tryna keep it real, we thrive They think they’re laughing, but it’s tearing up the seams They’re throwing words, throwing pain, like a living dream’s extreme I want peace, I want a calm, a quiet in the noise But every time I close my eyes, their voices break and poise [CHORUS] Let me live, let me breathe, let me find a place to stay I want to stay in peace, but they keep driving me astray They’re messing with me, like it’s just a game to play I’ll fight for my own world, but I’ll stay, I’ll stay [VERSE 2] They say “You’re overreacting” like the weight’s not real Like I’m just a puppet on a string, a silent, quiet feel But the cracks in my armor show every scar I’ve dealt with They’re blind to the pain, they don’t see the storm I’ve been kept I keep my head high, even when the world’s pulling me down I’ve learned to stand, I’ve learned to wear the hurt like a crown If they want to judge, let them, but I won’t let them own my fate I’m breathing, I’m moving, I’m stepping out of this state [CHORUS] Let me live, let me breathe, let me find a place to stay I want to stay in peace, but they keep driving me astray They’re messing with me, like it’s just a game to play I’ll fight for my own world, but I’ll stay, I’ll stay [BRIDGE] When the lights dim and the silence falls, I feel the weight inside I hear my heartbeat louder than their doubt, it’s my own stride I’m carving out a space
