[Verse] The mirror cracks but still it shows A face I barely even know The weight is mine and mine alone A kingdom built from sticks and stone [Verse 2] No savior’s coming from the sky No capes no masks no alibis I stitch my wounds with threadbare hope Climb up the walls that used to choke [Chorus] I’m the one I’ve been waiting for The battle’s raging at my core No rescue lights no distant call I’ll rise alone or not at all [Verse 3] The scars I wear are maps I’ve made Of every time I was afraid But fear’s a ghost I’ll learn to chase And face the fire with open grace [Bridge] The echoes scream you’re on your own But in the silence seeds are sown A fragile bloom a rebel’s creed I’ll be the hero that I need [Chorus] I’m the one I’ve been waiting for The battle’s raging at my core No rescue lights no distant call I’ll rise alone or not at all
