[Intro] That which I resist... It persists... [Verse 1] Every door I locked just grew another key Every wall I built just built the version chasin' me Ran from every shadow, only found it followed close The thing I fought the hardest was the thing I feared the most Told myself I'd bury it, told myself it's gone But the ground kept shiftin' underneath me all along Every time I pushed it down, it rose up twice as strong Funny how the fightin' is what kept it holdin' on [Pre-Chorus] Stopped runnin' from the fire Stopped fightin' what was true Maybe peace was never chasin' Maybe peace was lettin' through [Chorus] That which I resist, persists Learned that the hard way, learned it in the mist Stopped fightin' shadows, stopped clenchin' my fist Now I let it move through me, now I finally exist That which I resist, persists So I opened up my hands, and I finally kissed Every part I hated, every part I missed That which I resist, persists [Verse 2] My grandfather told me once that peace ain't in the win It's in the quiet moment that you finally let it in I laughed it off back then, thought that strength was holdin' tight Now I understand that strength was lettin' go that night Every wound I wouldn't face just found another door Every truth I ran from met me somewhere down the floor Now I'm sittin' with it, not afraid to feel it all Funny how surrender is the strongest kind of tall [Pre-Chorus] Stopped runnin' from the fire Stopped fightin' what was true Maybe peace was never chasin' Maybe peace was lettin' through [Chorus] That which I resist, persists Learned that the hard way, learned it in the mist Stopped fightin' shadows, stopped clenchin' my fist Now I let it move through me, now I finally exist That which I resist, persists So I opened up my hands, and I finally kissed Every part I hated, every part I missed That which I resist, persists [Bridge] Maybe I don't have to win this fight Maybe I just have to let it breathe tonight Every version of me I tried to leave behind Was just waitin' for the moment I stopped runnin' blind [Outro] That which I resist... persists... So I let it in...
