The night keeps moving without me Streets forget the shape of my name I learned how not to disappear By standing still inside the rain I held my breath between two thoughts Let the noise dissolve away Some lights burn just to be seen I chose the ones that stay I’ve been the echo of a promise Spoken low, but never gone What I lost didn’t leave me empty It taught me how to carry on I don’t chase what’s falling fast I don’t need to win the flame There’s a quiet weight in knowing What survives doesn’t need a name I don’t shine I remain I don’t shine I remain I walked the line between the answers And the things I couldn’t save Every scar became a marker Not a wound, just where I stayed I let the past speak in its language Without asking it to leave Some truths don’t ask forgiveness They just wait for you to breathe I don’t shine I remain I don’t shine I remain Let it fade Let it pass What I am Still holds fast No return No refrain I don’t shine I remain
