[Verse 1 – (Muted Reflection)] I lit a match inside my throat But held the flame behind my teeth They asked me why I never spoke I told them silence tastes like peace But it burned—so slow, so clean Like a prayer I never meant to keep [Pre-Chorus – (Held Tension)] If I scream, will the wind carry it? If I break, will the cracks sing back? [Chorus – (Soaring Release)] Little fires, under my skin They never left, just waited to begin I tried to hold it all inside But now I burn, and I won’t hide Little fires, rising again I am not afraid of what I am [Verse 2 – (Opening Wounds)] I wrote a song I never played It stayed hidden in my chest They only saw me when I prayed Not when I fell apart and bled But I’m still standing on the edge But I’m still standing on the edge And every word’s a soft revenge [Pre-Chorus – (Crackling)] If I scream, will the air ignite? If I fall, will the sky turn white? [[Chorus – (Crescendo)] Little fires, under my skin They never left, just waited to begin I tried to hold it all inside But now I burn, and I won’t hide Little fires, rising again I am not afraid of what I am [Bridge – (Rupture)] I never asked to be forgiven I just needed to be seen I never wanted your permission Just space to finally scream [Final Chorus – (Full Bloom, Legato runs)] Little fires, burning bright A thousand sparks in blackest night You told me I was “just too much” But now I’m more than I ever was Little fires—this is how I shine I won’t dim just to feel “fine” [Outro – (Fading Ember)] Little fires… still alive [End – (Natural Decay)]
