[VERSE 1] The city lost its color when the final circuit blew Every window turned to midnight, every road forgot what to do I stood among the outlines of the life I could not save With my hands full of the ashes of the person I had played There was no direction left to follow, no familiar room Only roots beneath the rubble learning how to move And somewhere in the absence where I thought I would be consumed Something opened without sunlight Something living in the gloom [PRE-CHORUS] No witness No warning No promise of the morning Just a heartbeat underground Turning ruin into sound [CHORUS] In the blackout I bloom Where no one told me what to become I make a garden out of every wound I drink the dark, I face the sun In the blackout I bloom No borrowed light, no borrowed truth What tried to bury me became the room Where I grew roots and broke through [VERSE 2] I used to think that resurrection had to look like who I was That healing meant rebuilding every shattered piece I lost But some shapes are only prisons, some repairs repeat the bruise So I left the old design behind and built a self I got to choose Now the cracks become the rivers, now the scars conduct the blue Every ending feeds the branches reaching out into the new I am not the flower you remember, not the victim of the room I am wild and unrequested I am the blackout bloom [BREAKDOWN - SCREAM] BURY ME DEEPER I WILL REACH FURTHER STARVE ME OF DAYLIGHT I WILL MAKE MY OWN COLOR NO GRAVE NO GOD NO HAND ABOVE CAN STOP THE ROOTS OF THE BLACKOUT BLOOM [FINAL CHORUS] In the blackout I bloom Where no one tells me what to become I make a garden out of every wound I drink the dark, I face the sun In the blackout I bloom With my own light, with my own truth What tried to bury me became the room Where I grew roots and broke through [OUTRO] When every light is gone Watch me become one
