[Intro] Up here the world gets smaller The noise don’t reach me now Just wind, just light, just memory Somewhere inside the clouds [Verse 1] I was raised on stories carried By the fire and the flame Of a name that cast a shadow Long before I had my own to make Learned that falling ain’t the same thing As giving up before your time Learned the sky can be a shelter If you know how to read the signs There were nights I stared at nothing Just the stars and what they meant Wondering if love could reach you When the ones you miss are heaven-sent So I built my heart like metal And I wore a smile like smoke But there’s only so much silence You can carry in your throat [Pre-Chorus] And I still hear the echoes Of the ones that made me strong In every burst of thunder In every place I don’t belong [Chorus] I live in the clouds Where the hurt can’t hold me down Where the ghosts don’t sound so loud When I’m higher than the ground And I know Every scar still follows now But I can breathe when I’m above it all somehow So when the world gets heavy I go chasing through the clouds [Verse 2] Kaze in my lungs, I’m moving Like the dawn through neon blue With a heart that beats like taiko And a past I never fully flew through I still bow my head to history To the blood, the loss, the pride To the ones who taught me honor Even when they weren’t by my side Yeah, I joke to hide the fracture Act like nothing cuts too deep Like I’m made for all this chaos Like I never lose no sleep But the truth is when I’m flying I don’t feel so far undone Like maybe all this broken motion Is the place I’m meant to run [Pre-Chorus] And I still hear the echoes Like a prayer beneath the noise Telling me the sky is open If I trust my own voice [Chorus] I live in the clouds Where the hurt can’t hold me down Where the ghosts don’t sound so loud When I’m higher than the ground And I know Every scar still follows now But I can breathe when I’m above it all somehow So when the world gets heavy I go chasing through the clouds [Bridge] Maybe I was born for leaving Maybe I was born to rise Maybe love looks like a fire You keep alive inside your eyes And if I’m still carrying pieces Of the ones I couldn’t save I’ll turn that weight into a skyline I’ll turn that grief into a wave [Breakdown] Higher Past the fear and all the doubt Higher Till the silence drowns it out Higher Let the whole world fade below If I can’t outrun the memory At least I know where I can go [Final Chorus] I live in the clouds Where the pain can’t pin me down Where the dark gets left behind Every time I leave the ground And I know I’m still made of all I’ve lost But I wear it like the wind instead of letting it be cost So when the world gets heavy When the past comes crashing down I lift my head, ignite the sky And disappear into the clouds [Outro] Just wind, just light, just memory And me above it now Still carrying everything Still flying through the clouds
