[Verse 1] There’s a place inside my silence Where your shadow learned my name. Every echo breaks the quiet But I still lean toward the flame. The world forgets its kindness When the night pulls at the seams But I’ve carried hollow gods Through every corner of my dreams. [Pre-Chorus] And the weight I swore was anchor Was a tether made of light… If I follow where it leads me Will you meet me in the night? [Chorus] I’m not afraid of falling It’s the rising that I fear. If I let myself awaken Will your voice still call me near? All these hollow gods I held Fade to dust beneath your sky… But in the ashes of the old world I swear—I come alive. [Verse 2] I’ve been searching for a signal Through a stained and broken past. Every loss became a scripture Every moment built to last. There’s a hunger in the quiet And it knows me by my scars Still I crawl toward every whisper Like a pilgrim chasing stars. [Pre-Chorus] And the ache becomes a compass Pointing somewhere I can’t see… If redemption has a language Let it speak inside of me. [Chorus] I’m not afraid of falling It’s the rising that I fear. If I let myself awaken Will your voice still call me near? All these hollow gods I held Fade to dust beneath your sky… But in the ashes of the old world I swear—I come alive. [Bridge] So take what’s left of me The fracture and the gold. The sinner and the saint That every lifetime ever sold. If the darkness is a doorway Then I walk it without sound… And I promise you this time I will rise, not fall back down. [Final Chorus] I’m not afraid of falling It’s the rising that I fear But I feel the world returning Every time your voice draws near. All these hollow gods I carried Disappear where light survives… And in the ruins of my old self, I swear I come alive. [Outro] Alive… Alive… I come alive.
