[INTRO] It’s always... the loudest... Right before it goes quiet. [VERSE 1] I’ve memorized the sagging of the roof The way the air gets thin and tastes of salt Just when I’m leaning into something real Something heavy finds a brand new fault In the foundation The pressure knows the topography of my skin It maps the ridges of the forming scar And presses down until the light gets thin. [PRE-CHORUS] I recognize the taste of this iron I’ve been choking on it for years The breaking isn't a failure It’s just the sound of shifting gears Toward a version of me I haven't met yet. [CHORUS] The ground is concrete before the bloom It tests the marrow, it fills the room The past is a ghost with a familiar key Trying to unlock the worst parts of me But the bloom is heavy, and it’s coming fast A beautiful riot that’s built to last I’m just the soil... I’m just the price. [BRIDGE] The past isn't stronger... It’s just louder because it’s scared. It knows I’m finally Strong enough To let it die.
