[Intro] Low hum in my chest Steps echo, long hall Every shadow says "fall" But I keep walking [Verse 1] Teeth clenched, I talk to the dark like a friend "Every nightmare you sent, it just sharpened my edge" Heart heavy as stone in a flood, but it bends Not breaks, let it shake, I’m still here on the ledge Breath fog in the air, I'm a storm in a man Every doubt that I had, now it lives in my hands I’ve been praying for peace, it keeps turning to plans So I carve out a path through the fear where I stand [Female Vocal] (Keep going) when your pulse feels thin (Keep breathing) let the night pull in [Chorus] I get braver in the dark When the walls all start to move When the voice in my head says "stop" I’ve got too much left to lose Got a fire in the scars Got a home in this hard place, too I find solace in the dark ’Cause the dark can’t bend my truth [Female Chorus] (Braver in the dark) (Braver in the dark, with you) [Verse 2] I used to run from the mirror, from the eyes looking back Every secret, every failure like a weight in a sack Now I stand in that silence, let it all talk trash Then I answer with a whisper that cuts like glass "I’m the sum of every time that I should’ve let go Every night I hit the bottom, learned the language of low" You can bury me in doubt, I’ll just learn to grow Roots deep in the pressure, watch me break that stone [Female Vocal] (Stay steady) when your hands both shake (You’re ready) this is where you wake [Chorus] I get braver in the dark When the walls all start to move When the voice in my head says "stop" I’ve got too much left to lose Got a fire in the scars Got a home in this hard place, too I find solace in the dark ’Cause the dark can’t bend my truth [Female Chorus] (Braver in the dark) (Braver in the dark, with you) [Bridge] So let it close in, let it close in tight I was built for this weight, I was shaped by the night Every tremor in my chest is a drum that replies "I don’t bow, I don’t break, I rise" [Female Vocal] (I don’t bow, I don’t break) (I rise, I rise) [Chorus] I get braver in the dark When the walls all start to move When the voice in my head says "stop" I’ve got too much left to lose Got a fire in the scars Got a home in this hard place, too I find solace in the dark ’Cause the dark can’t bend my truth [Female Chorus] (Braver in the dark) (Braver in the dark, with you) (Braver in the dark) I’m still standing, seeing through
