Standing Tall

[Pre-Chorus] 
The static’s clearing out, the vision’s getting sharp
No more playing background music on a broken harp
I’m cutting all the anchors, I’m letting go the weight
I’m walking through the fire just to open up the gate!

[Chorus] 
I’m the architect, I’m the masonry
Building a life that was meant for me!
Love me or hate me, I’m finally free
The version of me that you’ll never see!
Yeah, I’m choosing me!

[Verse 2] 
It wasn’t an accident, it wasn’t just luck
I had to dig through the dirt, I had to move the muck
Leaving behind the ghosts of who I used to be
The ones who only loved the parts that served their hierarchy
I see the shadows, but I’m chasing the sun
The marathon of healing has only just begun
Breaking the cycle, I’m lighting the fuse
Tired of paying the internal dues
Check the inventory, seeing the scars
Building a ladder to reach for the stars
You’re a ghost in the hallway, a voice in the dark
But I’m the ignition, I’m carrying the spark
No more apologizing, no more delay
I’m sweeping the wreckage and clearing the way!
I’m the king of the castle I built from the scrap
You’re looking for exits, I’m closing the gap
I’m the storm and the stone and the soul and the sweat
A version of me that you haven’t met yet!

[Bridge] 
Brick by brick! (Lah-dah!)
Layer by layer! (Dah-dah!)
No more playing the victim!
No more saying the prayer!
I’M Standing Tall!

[Final Chorus] 
I’m the architect, I’m the masonry
Building a life that was meant for me!
Love me or hate me, I’m finally free
The version of me that you’ll never see!
Yeah, I’m choosing me!

[Outro] 
I’m finding the beauty...
...in the work I’ve done.

[Verse 1] Clocking in the hours, yeah I’m working on the blueprint Stripping back the layers, had to find where the truth went Too many voices in my head, static on the line Drawing boundaries like borders, yeah I’m claiming what’s mine You were comfortable when I was small, keeping me in shade But I’m a sun-flower soul, watch the progress I’ve made I’m putting in the labor, the sweat and the grit Refusing to stay in the box where I don’t fit! [Pre-Chorus] The static’s clearing out, the vision’s getting sharp No more playing background music on a broken harp I’m cutting all the anchors, I’m letting go the weight I’m walking through the fire just to open up the gate!
