I carried the weight of your silence Waiting for something you’d never say I gave you the best of my quiet But you only took, then you walked away Now the air feels clearer When I breathe without you here I ascend, I don’t fall I don’t need your voice at all Every scar you left behind Turns to steps I use to climb I ascend, higher still I don’t bend to what you will You can keep your heavy lies I’m already past the sky You thought I’d be stuck in the shadows Holding my ground while you disappeared But I found a truth in the hollow I don’t need your echo to keep me near Every wall you built Only taught me how to lift I ascend, I don’t fall I don’t need your voice at all Every scar you left behind Turns to steps I use to climb I ascend, higher still I don’t bend to what you will You can keep your heavy lies I’m already past the sky Your name’s not a tether I’m lighter than ever I ascend, I don’t fall I don’t need your voice at all Every scar you left behind Turns to steps I use to climb I ascend, higher still I don’t bend to what you will I ascend, I ascend And I’ll never look again
