[Intro – 0:00–0:18] [Verse 1 – 0:18–0:48] Streetlights bleed through the blinds again Another night I almost let it win Hands still shake but the fire’s still there Buried deep where the cold can’t care I’ve been quiet, I’ve been small Letting the weight decide it all But something’s turning under my skin I can feel it waking, I can feel it begin [Pre-Chorus – 0:48–1:05] I don’t need a reason, I don’t need a sign Just this steady burn that says “it’s mine” [Chorus – 1:05–1:35] I’m still here, still breathing fire Still climbing higher, still refusing to tire You can take the light, you can take the name But you can’t put out what I became I’m still here — yeah I’m still here [Verse 2 – 1:35–2:05] Used to measure every step I took Afraid the ground would never look Like it belonged to someone like me Now the ground’s the only thing I see Every scar is just a map I drew Every night I almost didn’t pull through But the pulse is louder than the doubt And it’s too late now to turn it out [Pre-Chorus – 2:05–2:22] I don’t need a reason, I don’t need a sign Just this steady burn that says “it’s mine” [Chorus – 2:22–2:55] I’m still here, still breathing fire Still climbing higher, still refusing to tire You can take the light, you can take the name But you can’t put out what I became I’m still here — yeah I’m still here [Bridge – 2:55–3:25] (energy drops — keep the vocal lower, almost intimate) Let the silence try to hold me down Let the dark come circling around I’ve already walked through worse than this And the fire only grows when it’s dismissed (build starts rising again) So go ahead and watch me rise I’ve got nothing left to hide [Final Chorus – 3:25–end] I’m still here, still breathing fire Still climbing higher, still refusing to tire You can take the light, you can take the name But you can’t put out what I became I’m still here… Yeah I’m still here… I’m still here.
