Gap Under the Wall

[Verse 1] One cuff on my wrist, one foot in the dirt, Barn boards breathing like they knew I was hurt. Saw a little gap where the wall kissed the ground, Got down on my knees, didn’t make a sound. Dress caught tearing on the edge of the night, Shovel in my hand, trying to dig back my life. I was scared, I was shaking, I was running on fumes, But I swear I saw light cut through that room. [Pre-Chorus] I wanted to fly, I wanted to disappear, City Inn calling like shelter from fear. Then a voice came through like thunder in my chest, “Slow down, breathe first, don’t become your wreck.” [Verse 2] A car pulled up like a prayer with wheels, Said, “Come rest somewhere safe, let your body feel.” But my heart kept screaming, “Run and don’t look back,” Like the past had teeth and was biting my tracks. So I called on the Master when the pieces fell, Pulled every shadow from the inside of myself. Deep in my gut, I knew I’d be okay, Even with my whole world scattered in the driveway. [Bridge] Breathe in, don’t break. Breathe out, don’t run. Not every ending means you’re done. Breathe in, stay near. Breathe out, hold tight. There’s still a road. There’s still a light. [Final Chorus] Angels on the highway, watching me run, Barefoot through the breakdown, straight into the sun. I was broken, I was sleepless, I was out of my mind, But I held onto the light like a rope in the blind. Piece by piece, I’ll make it whole again, Even if I don’t know how or when. I crawled through hell, but I’m still here, Gap under the wall, sky finally clear. [Outro] One cuff on my wrist, but my soul got free. The light found the pieces and carried me.
