Verse 1 I heard the mountain breathing long before the stone gave way Built my home above the silence, called the shaking fate Every promise turned to dust beneath a borrowed sky When the ground refused to hold me, I stopped asking why Pre-Chorus Something older than my fear wakes underneath my skin Every heartbeat sounds like thunder. Let the shifting begin. Chorus I won’t carry what was never mine to hold again Every scar became a map that brought me to the edge Break the earth beneath my footsteps if that’s what it takes I’ll become the fire rising from the fault line’s wake Verse 2 Every silence left an echo buried in the stone Every road I called forever led me farther from my home Now the horizon splits before me, wide enough to choose Some things have to fall apart so nothing real can lose Pre-Chorus Something older than my fear wakes underneath my skin Every heartbeat sounds like thunder. Let the shifting begin. Chorus I won’t carry what was never mine to hold again Every scar became a map that brought me to the edge Break the earth beneath my footsteps if that’s what it takes I’ll become the fire rising from the fault line’s wake Bridge Let the mountains learn my name Let the valleys answer back You can’t bury living fire Under broken stone and ash If the whole world has to tremble Just to make the truth appear Then let every wall come crashing I’ll still be standing here Final Chorus I won’t carry what was never mine to hold again Every scar became a compass pointing toward the dawn Break the earth beneath my footsteps if that’s what it takes I’m already rising long before the ground can break Outro The mountain moved. So did I.
