[Verse 1] You trace lines in the dust I follow from above My spine becomes a compass Pointing inward into love There’s an angle in my ribs That folds without a sound I measure every breath Before I meet the ground [Pre-Chorus] If I bow, it changes everything If I rise, it still feels real So I keep it in between Like a vow I never seal [Chorus] Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise I keep that circle tight Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise Where our two shapes align Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise My silence draws the lines Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise Surrender, still I shine [Verse 2] You open up your hands An altar made of skin The floor becomes a mirror Showing where I end, begin I could lay my weapons down I could rule from folded knees But I just hover in the air Between command and plea [Pre-Chorus] If I bow, it changes everything If I rise, it still feels real So I keep it in between Like a vow I never seal [Chorus] Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise I keep that circle tight Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise Where our two shapes align Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise My silence draws the lines Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise Surrender, still I shine [Bridge] Maybe power is a mirrored room Maybe I am both the floor and throne When I feel my whole self shaking I am held by what I own So I stay where the angles kiss In the space where yielding equals rule [Final Chorus] Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise I keep that circle tight Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise Where our two shapes align Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise My silence draws the lines Kneel, stand, bend, breathe, crown, fall, kneel, rise Surrender, I am mine
