I got brave, I moved today Tried to chase the light, but it slipped away Now I’m lying here, can’t lift my eyes Burning silence, pain in disguise (Pre-Chorus) Every little step I take Echoes loud like a tidal break Yesterday, I was almost free Now the cost comes back for me (Chorus) It’s the weight of the wake, the crash after the climb The body keeps a clock, but never gives me time I’m aching in the still, trapped inside my skin Fighting just to breathe, before it starts again (Verse 2) Plans dissolve like morning mist Moments lost I never wished To cancel out the life I knew But this ghost won’t let me move (Pre-Chorus) Smiles are masks I wear with care To hide the storm I always bear Invisible, but still so loud A war behind a quiet shroud (Chorus) It’s the weight of the wake, the fall after the flight I danced with hope, now I pay each night Muscles scream in whispers no one hears Living in the hush between the years (Bridge) I’m not lazy, I’m surviving On broken clocks and silver linings Some days fire, some days frost Learning how to live with loss (Final Chorus) It’s the weight of the wake, and I carry it slow But there’s still a pulse beneath the low If I move again, it won’t be in vain I’ll rise like dawn through the ache and strain (Outro) So I’ll rest in the wreck, breathe through the haze Finding strength in the quietest days
