[INTRO]
(Spoken softly)
From shadows to the surface, we rise…
[VERSE 1]
I’ve danced too close to the edge, felt the pull of the abyss
A silent thief that promised peace, but it never kept its kiss
Each breath a wager, each step a lie
But beneath the hollow laughter, I knew I had to try
I saw the fallen, scattered like stars that burned too bright
Their stories linger in the dark, now whispers in the night
I wandered through that wasteland, tethered to my vice
But somewhere in the silence, I found the will to rise
[PRE-CHORUS]
Not all who fall are given wings to soar
Some stay shackled, some can fight no more
But I’m here, standing where the broken stood
Carved from the wreckage, I did what few thought I could
[CHORUS]
I’ve crawled from shadows to the surface, left the chains behind
Through the fires that consumed me, I learned to redefine
Not everyone escapes the grip, not everyone survives
But here I am, still breathing—grateful to be alive
Each scar a map of battles won
Each breath a hymn to what’s begun
[VERSE 2]
The echoes of my failures, they haunt me like a ghost
But I wear them like a badge, the darkness shaped me most
With every tear I’ve shed, I watered dreams anew
And from the ashes of my pain, resilience bloomed in hue
I’ve met the whispers of despair, felt the chill of doubt
But deep within the embers, a fire screams to shout
I’ll rise above the shadows, let the light reclaim my name
For in the deepest valleys, I discovered I’m the flame
[PRE-CHORUS]
Not all who stumble find the strength to stand
Some lose their way, wander through shifting sand
But I’m here, thriving where the others fell
Rooted in my journey, I’ll cast my own spell
[CHORUS]
I’ve crawled from shadows to the surface, left the chains behind
Through the fires that consumed me, I learned to redefine
Not everyone escapes the grip, not everyone survives
But here I am, still breathing—grateful to be alive
Each scar a map of battles won
Each breath a hymn to what’s begun
[BRIDGE]
Now I shine, like constellations
