[Verse 1] The water rose without a warning I felt it climb my fragile ground Every promise started shaking Every truth began to drown I tried to run toward higher silence Tried to pray the waves away But fear has hands, and fear has timing And it always wants to stay I counted breaths instead of seconds Learned the weight of holding still Every doubt became a current Every hope against my will [Chorus] I’m still standing in the flood With my lungs full of the night Every step is made of damage Every breath a kind of fight I don’t need to walk on water I don’t need to rise above I am not untouched or broken I’m still standing in the flood [Verse 2] I watched the past go drifting by me Like a house I couldn’t save All the names I gave my failure All the masks I learned to wear There were hands that pulled and vanished There were voices made of foam I stopped asking for direction When the storm felt more like home I felt the pull of disappearing Felt the peace of letting go But something heavy in my heartbeat Said survive what you don’t know [Bridge] If the current drags me under If the dark outlasts the light I won’t beg the tide for mercy I’ll keep breathing through the night [Chorus] I’m still standing in the flood With the weight of who I was I don’t claim a clean redemption I just claim I’m not done I don’t need a final answer I don’t need to be enough I am here, I am still breathing I’m still standing in the flood
