[Intro] I thought, I was stronger, I thought, I could win. But I was mistaken, As it pulled me in… One little puff, That's all it took. The taste grabbed hold, As I felt the hook. (Oh ohh Ohh) Hmm… [Verse 1] The darkness found me, When I was weak. And showed me the shadow, That now, can speak. It whispered a secret, That I buried for years. Unveiling the truth, That caused all my fears. [Verse 2] It opened the door, I had locked in the dirt. To show me the reason, I had always felt hurt. I had to fall, And had to break. I had to burn, For my own sake. (Ohh…) [Pre-Chorus] I had to let the bleeding out, I had to burn the noise. To strip away, the hollow echoes, And find my real voice. AHH! [Chorus] So let the ashes fall around me, Let the static fade to black. I had to walk straight through the fire, Just to find my way back. The shadow tried to take my name, But I’m the one who holds the flame. It took the dark to make me see, The only cure was facing me. [Verse 3] I can hear my own voice now, Carrying me through all the pain. I had to fall and wake myself, Just to break the chain. I’m standing in the wreckage now, With nothing left to hide. The trap was built of everything I buried deep inside. [Bridge] I don't fear the shadow anymore. 'Cause it showed me where my true power hid. Now I break the silence that haunted me for years... I am no longer that little kid in tears. [Pause, let the paino ring out alone] I was born in the dark... But I carry the light. (Hmm...) [Final-Chorus] So let the ashes fall around me, Let the static fade to black. I had to walk straight through the fire, Just to find my way back. The shadow tried to take my name, But I’m the one who holds the flame. It took the dark to make me see, The only cure was facing me. [Pre-outro] I had to bleed the pain out, I had to learn to let go. I had find myself again, So I could finally grow! [Outro] The war may not be over, But now I remember, What the darkness, Was trying to take.
