--- [Verse 1] I heard a whisper in the silence A tug beneath my skin A child’s voice, soft, defiant Saying, “Look at me, let me in” You’ve run from what you buried Called me monster, ghost, and sin But I was only waiting For you to notice where I’d been --- [Pre-Chorus] You can’t outrun the dark you hide It walks with you, side by side --- [Chorus] I see you now I won’t turn away You're the part of me That I refused to face I held the blade, I wore the chains But now I choose a different way I forgive the blind, including mine And let the shadow rest today --- [Verse 2] I wore my hurt like armor But it cut me from within Passed down echoes of my silence To hearts I never meant to dim So here I am, unguarded Owning what I couldn’t see No excuses, just compassion For the blind spots inside me --- [Pre-Chorus] We’re all reflections, fractured light Trying to find the path through night --- [Chorus] I see you now I won’t turn away You're the part of me That I refused to face I held the blade, I wore the chains But now I choose a different way I forgive the blind, including mine And let the shadow rest today --- [Bridge] Dark meets light, thought meets form I am the vessel, I am the storm What I release, I choose with care No longer bound to unaware Judge not, for we know not I clear the mirror, clear the plot --- [Breakdown / Spoken or Soft Vocal Option] To the ones I hurt, I'm sorry To the self I lost, I see you now You just wanted to be held To be loved without condition --- [Final Chorus] I see you now And I hold your gaze You're not a curse You're the part I save No more shame, no more disdain I name the dark, and break the chain I forgive the blind, including mine And let the shadow rest today --- [Outro] Let it rest Let it breathe You were always part of me ---
