Verse 1 I carried ghosts like second skin Every loss carved deeper in Running circles through regret Counting debts I never met But the mirror doesn’t lie tonight Something waking in the fight Not redemption — not escape Just a choice I finally make Chorus Let it hurt — let it breathe Let the old me finally leave Every step into the unknown Is the only way I grow I burn — but I don’t disappear I break — but I reassemble here From ashes into orbit I rise No chains left in my mind Verse 2 Heartbeat like a war drum — pressure building slow Every step another echo from a self I used to know Cut the rope — let it fall — no safety net below If the fire wants a body then I guess I’m gonna glow They said bend — never break — but I shattered anyway Found a thousand different versions when I threw the mask away Every doubt another voice but I don’t obey Turn the noise into a rhythm — now I weaponize the pain I was drowning in the quiet — now I’m louder than the storm Every failure just a forge where another self is born No savior — no warning — no perfect form Just a fractured constellation learning how to reform Chorus Let it hurt — let it breathe Let the old me finally leave Every step into the unknown Is the only way I grow I burn — but I don’t disappear I break — but I reassemble here From ashes into orbit I rise No chains left in my mind Bridge I was afraid of the open sky Of who I’d be if I learned to fly Maybe healing isn’t clean Maybe hope is breaking free Maybe starting over means Letting go of who was me Final Chorus Let it hurt — let it breathe Let the old me finally leave Every step into the unknown Is the only way I grow I burn — but I don’t disappear I break — but I reassemble here From ashes into orbit I rise No chains left in my mind I burn — but I don’t disappear I break — but I reassemble here From ashes into orbit I rise No chains left in my mind
