[Verse 1] You planted doubt like clover Said it just might bring me luck Little seeds in every shoulder shrug Every "maybe" Every "just" I watered them with overthinking Sat and watched the quiet spin Never knew the field was in me That which grows within [Chorus] That which grows within Silent as a shadow on my skin Turns a room into a question Turns my name into a sin I keep pulling at the petals But they bloom beneath my ribs I can’t run from what I’m holding That which grows within [Verse 2] Your voice lives in my mirror Picking out each crooked line Calling every scar a story Then rewriting it as crime I carry you in tiny echoes Folded tight beneath my grin You’re the storm behind my weather That which grows within [Chorus] That which grows within Silent as a shadow on my skin Turns a room into a question Turns my name into a sin I keep pulling at the petals But they bloom beneath my ribs I can’t run from what I’m holding That which grows within [Bridge] One day I’ll learn your language Trace your roots Untie the knot Call you by a truer name Than every lie you taught (oh) I’ll make a garden from the damage Let the tender parts begin Learn to love the smallest sprouting Of that which grows within [Chorus] That which grows within Softer now A whisper on my skin Not a verdict Just a question I can answer from again I keep tending all the petals Every fracture Every fib I’m not running I’m remaining With that which grows within
