[Verse 1] My name is Agatha Rose Jax I learned it from a hallway plaque Widow’s Gate, iron doors I’ve been here since I was six years old No pictures, no lullabies Just shadows where my past should lie They say my parents disappeared Funny how the truth feels unclear [Pre-Chorus] I don’t remember their faces Only the cold and the rain Only waking up somewhere With a name stitched into pain [Chorus] But I’m still here I learned how to breathe in the dark I found a light with no religion Just a lantern in my heart If I was lost, I was found here If I was broken, I was spared Widow’s Gate raised me gently When no one else was there [Verse 2] Andy taught my fingers strings Halle gave the keys a voice Michael taught my hands the beat Like I still had a choice Mr. Otis sings of Georgia nights Smoke and truth and borrowed light Mr. Road said, “Child, believe— Some flames are meant to be seen.” [Pre-Chorus] They talk about heaven and grace And a man nailed to a cross I don’t argue, I just listen But the lantern never gets lost [Chorus] And I’m still here Writing songs instead of prayers Uniforms and quiet hallways But my voice still fills the air If I don’t know who I was I know who I’ve become A girl made of stories and sound Waiting for dawn [Bridge] At night I write it all down In a book I call The Dawn Spells or secrets, truth or lies I don’t know where they’re from Doctor says it helps my mind I think it helps my soul If memory is a locked door Then music is the code [Final Chorus] So I’m still here And I’m not afraid to stay If the past comes back for me I’ll meet it in the flame Widow’s Gate, don’t let me go You’re the only home I know I was raised by borrowed light And I survived the night [Outro] My name is Agatha Rose Jax And this is how I begin.
