[Verse 1] I’m a tenant in a house of echoes Counting the cracks in the ceiling of my mind Every "should have" is a ghost in the hallway Every "could have" is a debt I can’t find I sat in the ash of the bridges I burned Checking the soot for the lessons I spurned Heavy is the head that wears the crown of regret But the sun hasn't set... no, the sun hasn't set yet. [Pre-Chorus] I tried to outrun the shadow of my ghost But the silence is the teacher I needed the most The pain isn't poison, the pain is the ink Writing the truth while I stand on the brink. [Chorus] Oh, let the hammer fall where it must Turn the gold into spirit, turn the iron to rust! I stop the fight, I find the season Everything happens for a reason! Through the wreckage and the rhyme The master plan is keeping time Yeah, everything happens for a reason! [Verse 2] I used to look back at the scars on my skin As a map of the places where the darkness won in But now I see windows where I once saw the bars You can’t see the light if you don’t have the stars My failures were fossils, now they’re the fuel The heartbreak was harsh, but the heartbreak was school. [Bridge] It’s not a coincidence. It’s not a mistake. Every heart-stop. Every soul-shake. [Vocalist begins an ascending soul-shriek] There’s a thread in the chaos! A design in the deep! A promise that the universe is going to keep! IT’S FOR A HIGHER PURPOSE! [Chorus] Oh, let the hammer fall where it must Turn the gold into spirit, turn the iron to rust! I stop the fight, I find the season Everything happens for a reason! Through the wreckage and the rhyme The master plan is keeping time Yeah, everything happens for a reason! [Outro] The chaos was a canvas. The struggle was the brush. Now I find the meaning... In the holy, heavy hush. No matter the storm, no matter the season... It’s for a higher purpose. Yeah... Everything happens for a reason.
