[Verse 1] I stopped running from the silence in the room Let it breathe, let it bloom I listened to the ache without a name And found it wasn’t something I should tame [Pre-Chorus] I don’t need the sun to rise To see the truth before my eyes [Chorus] I’m lighting up the dark, one breath at a time Every step is a match, every scar is a sign I don’t curse the night anymore I was born to be the light it couldn’t ignore [Verse 2] I learned the dark is only where light rests Not an enemy, just unexpressed So I sat with it, no need to prove And watched the shadows quietly move [Pre-Chorus] I don’t chase what I can’t win I build the fire from within [Chorus] I’m lighting up the dark, one breath at a time Every step is a match, every scar is a sign I don’t curse the night anymore I was born to be the light it couldn’t ignore [Bridge] No alarms, no battle cry Just a candle passing by Peace doesn’t shout or run It stays, and that’s how night is done [Breakdown] I thought the dark was something wrong But it was just waiting all along For a place where light could land And finally understand [Final Chorus] I’m lighting up the dark, watch it pull away Every flame I carry turns night into day I don’t curse the night anymore I was born to be the light it couldn’t ignore [Outro] Stillness first… then glow… then everything slows
