RE:RISE

[Intro] [Verse 1] Every voice but mine Stayed inside my head Wore them down to whispers Still heard what they said Folded up my wishes Left them in a drawer Called it getting stronger Stopped asking for more [Pre-Chorus 1] Underneath the quiet Something moves offbeat Hold my breath and listen Is that a pulse in me? [Chorus 1] Beat again Faint beneath my hand Maybe these shaking legs Can learn again to stand Through a seam of blue Morning filters in Not yet on the road But looking out again [Verse 2] Turned the key on feeling Kept the hurt outside Never saw the lock was On the other side Kept a smile that fitted Every crowded room Left myself behind it With no room to move [Pre-Chorus 2] Underneath the quiet Something won't stay still Press my palm against it It's here against my will [Chorus 2] Beat again Clear beneath my hand Even these shaking legs Are learning how to stand Through a seam of blue Let the cold air in One step past the doorway And feel the fear again [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] I don't need the old me back I'll rise as who I am now Some things won't come back with me I can miss them, keep them close This pulse was never someone else's It's mine beneath the noise No need to wait for steady hands To make my own choice [Final Chorus] Beat again Loud beneath my hand Still on these shaking legs Here I choose to stand Through a seam of blue Running with the wind Scars beneath my sleeves And a pulse I trust again [Final Chorus] Rise again No more turning back I don't need the old me back I'll rise as who I am now Fear can come along It won't choose the road Each step lands in time With the heart I call my own [Outro]
