[Intro] A shadow learns my name... Before the light can. [Verse 1] If I break before I bend Lose the will to raise my head Know I fought until the end Made them look at me with dread Every heartbeat leaves an echo Every breath becomes a climb Holding onto broken moments Like they're all that's left of mine [Pre-Chorus] I can hear the silence breathing Through the cracks beneath my skin If tomorrow never finds me I'll be waiting where I've been [Chorus] If I disappear beneath the weight Don't mistake it for surrender Every scar became a doorway Every wound an ember I was never made for easy endings Never built to simply fade If I break before I bend Remember... I was not afraid [Verse 2] Dust collects where hope once lived Still I trace its outline slow Every ghost I tried to bury Found another way to grow The sky keeps folding into static The horizon wearing thin But every time the darkness calls me Something colder answers it [Bridge] I won't ask forgiveness I won't ask to stay Every piece they tried to take Still remembers my name Even if my voice is swallowed Even if these walls don't fall There's a fire beneath the silence That outlives it all [Final Chorus] If I disappear beneath the weight Don't mistake it for surrender Every scar became a doorway Every wound an ember If I broke before I bent Know I fought until the end Let the silence speak my name Leave them staring back with dread [Outro] The glass remembers... Even when I don't.
