[Intro] [distorted electric guitar riff, syncopated drums] It was never the dark that defined my name It was the choice to walk through it anyway — [heavy guitar breakdown, double-kick drums] [Verse 1-rhythmic rapping vocals, bass-heavy groove] Woke up with the weight of the world on my chest— Every mistake — like a name I confessed The mirror don't lie, don't sugarcoat truth— Shows me the man that I'm trying to improve— Scars in my skin but they carved out resolve Every setback sharpens the saw Cut through the doubt Through the fear in my head Through every word that they said I’ve been buried beneath expectations (pause) Choking on self-inflicted frustrations (pause) But pressure makes diamonds — that’s what they say So I’m digging myself out the grave — [Pre-Chorus – heavy melodic groove] Every step feels like breaking chains Every breath like I’m learning pain But pain ain’t permanent — It’s just the furnace that forges the change [Chorus – Melodic Hook] There’s a light through the cracks in the walls I built Through the guilt— through the doubt— through the blood I spilled I may bend — I won’t break — I will rise From the fire in my own disguise I’m not the man I was yesterday I’m fighting forward — I’ll find my way Through the tunnel, through the night— I see that faint, unwavering light [Verse 2 – rhythmic rapping vocals, bass-vocal groove] Every trial like a test of will Every hill like a mountain still But mountains move when your mind stands firm And the lesson’s learned when the bridge gets burned I’ve lost friends to the storms I made Burned down bridges I should’ve saved But regret is a teacher if pride steps back And strength is built where the spine once cracked They said, “You won’t change — you’re set in stone.” But stones erode when the river flows And I’ve been carving a different path With blistered hands and a tightened grasp [Pre-Chorus] Every scar’s just proof I survived Every fall taught me how to rise The dark don’t win — It just reminds you to fight for the light inside deep within [Sang with heavy melodic groove] What if the darkness was shaping me? What if the weight was awakening me? What if the storm was the only way To wash the fear and the doubt away? I AM NOT MY LOWEST MOMENT— I’m the sum of the strength I’ve chosen. [Final Chorus – Melodic Hook] There’s a light through the cracks in the walls I built Through the guilt, through the doubt, through the blood I spilled I may bend — I won’t break — I will rise From the fire in my own disguise — I’m not the man I was yesterday I’m fighting forward — I’ll find my way Through the tunnel, through the night That faint light’s burnin’ brighter inside [Breakdown—rhythmic rapping vocals, bass-heavy groove—] Step by step — Brick by brick — Built the mind — I will never quit Step by step — Scar by scar — Closer now Than I ever was before [Outro rhythmic rapping vocals, bass-heavy melodic groove– ] It was never the dark that defined my name… It was the choice to walk through it anyway. — [Instrumental breakdown/ Double Kick Pedal, Snare, Distorted Guitar, Exotic Bass flow/breakdown close]
