[Intro - Piano, strings, distant ambience] [Verse 1 - Rowan, intimate, restrained] I spent years learning how to disappear Calling it love while I lived in fear Every little piece I gave away Just to hear somebody ask me to stay Built my world on borrowed dreams Held together by unraveling seams Funny how I thought I'd fall apart... When all I had to do was start. [Pre-Chorus - Rowan, building] I thought freedom would feel like fire... Turns out... It feels like breathing. [Chorus - Rowan + Eva, huge harmonies] I'm letting go... Dead weight. Every chain that held me down Just broke away. Dead weight. I forgot how light A heart could feel. I forgot That broken things Can heal. If loving me Means leaving yesterday... Then let it fall... Like dead weight. [Instrumental Break - Guitar melody over strings] [Verse 2 - Eva, confident, warm] Funny how the silence sings When nobody's pulling all your strings Turns out peace was never far away I was just too scared To walk away. Now every sunrise hits different Every mirror tells the truth Every scar became another chapter Leading me back to my youth. [Pre-Chorus - Eva] No more asking... Who I'm supposed to be. I already know. [Chorus - Full duet, bigger] I'm letting go... Dead weight... (Repeat) [Bridge - Piano only] [Rowan] I thought I'd miss... The person... I never got to become. [Eva] Look at you now... You finally came home. [Build - Orchestra rises, toms enter] [Final Chorus - Full duet, biggest vocals] I'm letting go... Dead weight. No more carrying A life that wasn't made for me. Dead weight. Watch me rise While the past falls away. Watch me smile Like the storm never stayed. If becoming myself Costs everything... Then it wasn't mine... Anyway. Dead weight. [Outro - Choir, sustained guitars, piano fade]
