[Verse 1] Woke up this morning with a conquered spirit, Defeated before my feet touched ground. The weight keeps rising, the walls keep closing, Every breath feels like it’s dragging me down. Storm in my chest, thunder in my mind, Clouds so heavy I can’t see through the gray. I keep asking the silence a dangerous question: “Would it matter if I faded away?” [Verse 2] No one sees the war that I’m fighting, No one hears the noise in my head. Every thought’s a blade that keeps turning, Every hope feels already dead. I’m tired of standing on this battlefield, Tired of holding a crumbling line. Tired of chasing a whisper called peace That always slips through my hands with time. [Pre-Chorus] But somewhere beneath all this breaking, A stubborn ember remains— A quiet voice in the ruins Calling my name through the pain. [Chorus] So I hold on though my hands are shaking, Though every breath feels like work. I keep fighting through the darkness When I just want to quit and turn. Today I’m buried in shadows, Lost in the weight of my thoughts— But being buried means I’m planted, And a seed must die to become what it’s not. [Verse 3] The soil is cold and heavy around me, Dark as the doubts I’ve known. But deep in the silence of breaking Something unseen is growing. Roots in the tears I’ve cried, Strength in the nights I survived, What felt like the end of the story Was only the start of a life. [Bridge] A seed disappears in the darkness, Crushed by the weight of the earth, But hidden inside that surrender Is the miracle of new birth. The shell has to shatter to open, The old has to fall apart— What feels like a thousand endings Is the beginning of the heart. [Final Chorus] So I hold on though the storm is raging, Though the night feels endless and long. I keep walking through the valley Till the light begins to dawn. Today I’m buried in struggle, But tomorrow I’ll rise from the ground— And when I break through to the sunlight, A new kind of life will be found. [Outro] Because the seed that dies in the darkness Is the one that reaches the sun— And the pain that nearly destroyed me Will become the strength I’ve become. [Fade out - instrumental]
