Verse 1 I learned to move like nothing breaks Keep every breath in line A quiet shape in crowded rooms Pretending I’m still fine No trembling in my fingers No cracks within my voice If I stay small and careful I never have to make a choice Pre-Chorus But something calls through silence A fault line in my chest A dangerous kind of longing That will not let me rest Chorus Let the ravens rise From the edge of night Not to leave the dark But to touch the firelight I don’t trust my steps I don’t trust my mind But something in me reaches For what waits behind Through the weight I carry Through the endless sky If I have to burn to move I’ll still learn to fly Verse 2 My hair falls like a curtain To hide what I can’t show My thoughts are always shifting Too loud, too sharp, too slow Blue eyes like open waters With something far below Like something waits beneath them That I am scared to know Pre-Chorus What if I touch the darkness And find more than I can bear? What if the flames I’m chasing Leave ashes everywhere? Chorus Let the ravens rise Through the quiet sky Not escaping danger Just asking why I know the fire burns I know it leaves a scar Still something keeps on calling From somewhere in the dark Through the doubt inside me Through the sleepless night If I step into the darkness Will I still know what is mine? Bridge I mourn the ones I’m leaving The ones I could not save Some died beneath the silence Some simply walked away I carry every name still Like ashes on my skin But grief cannot keep breathing What I have left within Build-Up I am not as steady as I seem I am not as certain as I’ve been But something in me won’t disappear Even if I lose the ones held dear Final Chorus Let the ravens rise Not in strength, not in flight But as quiet wings Vanishing into night I will give it all I will face the flame With these burning fingers I will reach and not decay Through the lives that shaped me Through the love left behind If the dark becomes my pathway I will not leave myself behind
