“Domino Effect”

“Domino Effect” Verse 1 I gaze at my reflection, What’s staring back at me? I think of where I am today, My self-reality. The past, it is a chasm, A vault that’s always locked, If I released the shadows now My soul would be shocked. Pre-Chorus I carry all the moments That I buried deep inside, Every scar, every silence, Every time I lied. Chorus It’s a domino effect called life, Falling endlessly, Every choice, every cut I made Is part of the shape of me. I tried to outrun the echoes, But they follow me through time, I am who I am becoming Because of what’s behind. Verse 2 I think of those I’ve cut off, Just snapped them from my life, A dark and faded memory I cut just like a knife. But even in the breaking, Even when I bled, Every door I slammed behind me Led me here instead. Pre-Chorus Now I’m starting to see clearly How it all connects, Every loss, every ending Was a step up next. Chorus It’s a domino effect called life, Rippling in the abyss, If I hadn’t done the things I did I wouldn’t be this. Every fall, every fracture, Every truth I tried to flee, I am not in spite of the past— The past is part of me. Bridge So I let it go, I let it be, Stop fighting history, The cracks in me let the light in, That’s my identity. I won’t lock the vault forever, I won’t fear what I see, Because without the past, I know I would not be me. Final Chorus (Lift) It’s a domino effect called life, Falling perfectly, Every shadow, every mistake Was shaping destiny. I stand here in the aftermath, Still learning how to be, But without the past behind me I know I’m not me. Outro I gaze at my reflection, And finally I see— Every broken version of myself Led me back to me.
