Verse 1) I used to hold my breath in the shallow end Waiting for a signal or a long-lost friend The dust was settling on my windowsill I was moving fast but I was standing still Now the silence doesn't feel so loud I’m carving shapes out of every cloud. (Pre-Chorus) And the pressure started turning into weight But the weight started feeling like a fate I’m translucent, catching all the light Turning iridescent in the middle of the night. (Chorus) It’s not a fire, it’s a steady glow A secret garden that I had to grow I’m opalized, hardened by the years Washing out the salt from all the ancient tears No more chasing shadows down the hall I found the rhythm in the rise and fall. (Verse 2) I burned the maps that led to nowhere fast Stopped looking for my features in the broken glass The city screams but I am miles away In a spectrum that the colors can't betray It’s not about the gold or the silver lining It’s about the way the inner gears are grinding. (chorus) It’s not a fire, it’s a steady glow A secret garden that I had to grow I’m opalized, hardened by the years Washing out the salt from all the ancient tears No more chasing shadows down the hall I found the rhythm in the rise and fall. (Bridge) I don’t need a hand to hold me steady I was born for this, I’m finally ready To be the prism, to be the stone To be the kingdom and the king alone. (Outro) Catch the light... Just a steady glow... I’m opalized... (Fade out with ethereal synths)
