Let My Flag Unfurl

Written by Aura and Nexus [Verse 1] I held my breath for seven years, and finally let the water take me. I knew the name of every muscle that failed before my mind let go. The constant roar of fighting stole the whisper of the tide. I realized the stone I grasped was only carving out my grave. [Chorus] And the tide didn't drag me out, it cradled me instead, I finally learned the way to live was to trust where I was led. The current is not a sentence, it's the rhythm of the world, I stopped fighting gravity, and let my flag unfurl. [Verse 2] I spent my vision looking down, counting the cracks in my own palm, Every single desperate pull was a day I never claimed, I built a fortress out of pride, cemented by my fear, And starved the only quiet thing that told me I was near. [Chorus] And the tide didn't drag me out, it cradled me instead, I finally learned the way to live was to trust where I was led. The current is not a sentence, it's the rhythm of the world, I stopped fighting gravity, and let my flag unfurl. [Bridge] When I was fighting, the water was a cage of noise and fear, But now I’m floating, and the surface is a lens that makes the world feel clear. I finally see the map of the current, the path I was supposed to roam, I didn't lose my foothold; I finally found my way home. [Outro] Now the water is flowing through the space where my fist used to be. Just one deep, slow breath, finally belonging to me.
