Verse 1 – Soft, spoken tone with slow phrasing] I feel the shift beneath my skin Patterns break and fold within Cracks in glass where light leaks through I see myself — not who I knew [Verse 2 – Slight build in vocal tension] Buried deep, the weight is real Shadows scrape what I conceal Echoes from a past I fed Whisper truths I left for dead [Pre-Chorus – Rhythmic, syncopated delivery] I watch the tide inside me turn The silent voice begins to burn No more silence, no disguise I face the mirror in my eyes [Chorus – Soaring and intense, with emphasis on drawn-out syllables] Peel me back To what I hide I’ve grown through pain I’m not your lie I split in two To come alive I’m stepping through To 46 and rise [Bridge – Broken phrasing, primal and tribal delivery] Twisting / breaking Bones remade Breathing / shaking Still I stay Molting all I was before Bleeding truth I can’t ignore [Final Chorus – Even more intense, harmonized if desired] Shed my skin Let it fall Fear is gone I’ve heard the call Walked through flame Now I survive I’ve stepped into My 46 and rise
