Next Chapter

Next Chapter" [Intro] (atmospheric, building guitar swell, heartbeat kick drum) Ohh... ohh... I'm still here... [Verse 1] Pressure in my head, painful but don't fear the dread Here triumphant and sound, looking forward to what more can be found Broken roads behind me, scars I wear like armor Every storm that tried to bury me just made me harder [Pre-Chorus] So I'm turning the page, closing the door Not who I was, I'm something more The road is clear, the fog's gone still I'm walking forward, on my own will [Chorus] Next chapter, new fire, I'm rising from the wreck Torn up, shaken, but I'm still standing on my neck No more looking back at the ashes on the ground I found my triumph in the sound [Verse 2] Been through the fire, came out refined Left the old version of me behind They thought I'd break, thought I'd fold But I'm built from a different kind of gold [Pre-Chorus] So I'm turning the page, closing the door Not who I was, I'm something more The road is clear, the fog's gone still I'm walking forward, on my own will [Chorus] Next chapter, new fire, I'm rising from the wreck Torn up, shaken, but I'm still standing on my neck No more looking back at the ashes on the ground I found my triumph in the sound [Verse 3] Every tear I cried was a seed I planted Every "no" became a "yes" I'm handed I'm not scared of what's ahead of me 'Cause I already survived the worst of me [Pre-Chorus] So I'm turning the page, closing the door Not who I was, I'm something more The road is clear, the fog's gone still I'm walking forward, on my own will [Chorus] Next chapter, new fire, I'm rising from the wreck Torn up, shaken, but I'm still standing on my neck No more looking back at the ashes on the ground I found my triumph in the sound [Bridge] (strip back — vocal + minimal instrumentation, building) I don't need the old me to survive I just need the breath that keeps me alive Every scar's a map of where I've been Now watch me walk into what's next [Pre-Chorus] So I'm turning the page, closing the door Not who I was, I'm something more The road is clear, the fog's gone still I'm walking forward, on my own will [Chorus] Next chapter, new fire, I'm rising from the wreck Torn up, shaken, but I'm still standing on my neck No more looking back at the ashes on the ground I found my triumph in the sound [Chorus] (full instrumentation, layered vocals, key change up) Next chapter, new fire, I'm rising from the wreck Torn up, shaken, but I'm still standing on my neck No more looking back at the ashes on the ground I found my triumph in the sound [Outro] (fading instrumentation, ad-libs) Ohh... I'm still here... Next chapter... started...
