The Topography of Us
[Intro] [Atmospheric guitar pads] [Steady, rhythmic drum pulse] [Verse 1] I used to hide the broken lines The jagged edges of my design Thought every stumble was a hollow cost A thousand miles where I just got lost But the light is hitting different now The dust is settling on my brow [Pre-Chorus] [Build-up] [Bass intensifies] The wreckage is a compass, true and deep Keeping the promises I meant to keep [Chorus] [Anthemic] [Powerful vocals] These scars are maps, they show the way Out of the night and into the day Every burn is a lesson learned Every bridge that I ever burned They arenβt mistakes, theyβre just the signs Guiding me through the battle lines [Verse 2] I see the craters, I see the falls The echoes bouncing off the walls But look at the pattern, look at the flow They taught me exactly where not to go [Chorus] These scars are maps, they show the way Out of the night and into the day Every burn is a lesson learned Every bridge that I ever burned They arenβt mistakes, theyβre just the signs Guiding me through the battle lines [Bridge] [Emotional peak] [Heavy drums] Iβm not healing to forget Iβm healing to remember! The past isn't a ghost... It's a navigator! [Guitar Solo] [Melodic and soaring] [Outro] [Softening] Tracing the lines... I know where Iβm going now Because of where Iβve been My scars are the map... And Iβm coming home. [End] [Final heartbeat kick drum]
