Dancing in Disaster [Intro – filtered vocal, distant piano] (Whisper) Dance with the fire... Dance with the flood... If this is the end... I'll call it where I began... --- [Verse 1] I've been dancing in disaster, chasing the beginning and the after, Reading smoke like it remembers every name I've ever answered. Every road I ever wandered folded back into my skin, Every ending wore a smile and called itself another wind. I learned to bloom in broken concrete, To find a pulse beneath the static. I wore the weight like royal armor, Made catastrophe look magic. The room kept spinning, I stood still, The world kept shouting, I chose will. If hope's a match inside a hurricane, Watch me strike it... watch me build. --- [Pre-Chorus] If the heavens split apart tonight, I'll still be reaching for the light. If everything I love takes flight, You'll hear my heartbeat through the night. --- [Chorus – huge layered gang vocals] I've been dancing in disaster, chasing the beginning and the after, Turning every wreck into another chapter. If I'm falling, let me fall like lightning through the dark, Making constellations from my scattered heart. I've been dancing in disaster, every scar another answer, Every goodbye teaching me to breathe. If survival has a rhythm... Then disaster dances with me. --- [Verse 2] I've outrun ghosts that wore my face, Forgiven echoes I couldn't replace. Every mirror tried convincing me I was too fractured to embrace. But pressure carved another diamond, Pain translated into sound. The deeper that the darkness dug, The stronger every root I found. The tide kept pulling at my ankles, The current begged me not to fight. But storms don't ask for your permission— They simply teach you how to write... Your name across impossible skies, Where broken wings still learn to rise. --- [Bridge – ambient, half-time] Maybe I was never lost... Maybe I was being made. Every fire forged another version That refused to fade. Maybe every shattered dream Was clearing room for something true. Maybe every road I hated... Was always leading back to you... Back to the pulse. Back to the breath. Back to the part of me That never accepted death. --- [Breakdown – screamed / spoken] So throw another wave! Throw another storm! I've lived through silence louder than your thunder! Every scar's a compass! Every bruise a map! You can't bury someone Who keeps becoming... Again! --- [Final Chorus – double chorus, octave harmonies] I've been dancing in disaster, chasing the beginning and the after, Turning every ending into something brighter. When the skyline burns, I'll be the last one singing loud, Standing taller than the smoke, above the crowd. I've been dancing in disaster, never asking for a savior, Building kingdoms from the pieces left behind. Every heartbeat says forever, Every sunrise rewrites never, Every wound becomes another reason why... I won't disappear. I've been dancing in disaster... And disaster finally learned... It could never stop me. --- [Outro – choir, fading guitars] Still dancing... Still breathing... Still believing... The beginning... The after... They're both inside me.
