[Prelude – Soft piano, distant vocals] I was just a voice inside those walls, Whispering dreams no one could hear. Every bruise, every broken call— Carved a map that led me here. (Guitars and drums rise in) [Verse 1] Broken glass on the kitchen floor, Echoes crawl beneath the door, I learned to hide, to hold my breath, Dreams were the only thing I had left. Footsteps fell like distant drums, Every night I wished I’d run, But I swore I’d move, I swore I’d fight, Till I reached the edge of light. [Pre-Chorus] Every scar drew a map that led me here, Through the noise, through the fear— [Chorus] I’m breaking out of darkness, Running through the pain, No more walls to hold me, I’m not that child again. I’m rising through the open air, The truth beneath my skin— I found my wings in shadows, Now I’m breathing in again. [Verse 2] Cold nights, I’d count the stars, Pretend they’d heal the marks, Every word, every cruel tone, Pushed me to make strength my own. Heartbeats pounding, steady pace, Leaving ghosts I used to face, With every note, with every cry, I’m rewriting my goodbye. [Pre-Chorus] I can feel my pulse begin to clear, Every step pulls me near— [Chorus] I’m breaking out of darkness, Running through the pain, No more walls to hold me, I’m not that child again. I’m rising through the open air, The truth beneath my skin— I found my wings in shadows, Now I’m breathing in again. [Verse 3 – Stripped back, piano + clean vocals] There was a time I lost my name, A time I drowned inside the shame, But I’ve learned that pain can teach, Even if the light feels out of reach. Now the world feels wide and real, The cracks I came from start to heal, Every breath a promise made, To never fade, to never fade. [Bridge – builds gradually from soft falsetto to full power] Out of the wreckage, I found my start, The sound of truth inside my heart. No more looking back, no more disguise, I see my past through clearer eyes. If fear’s a ghost, then let it go, I’ve grown from all I used to know. I walk alone, but I’m not lost, I paid my pain, I’ve earned the cost. (Instruments build – double kick drums, guitar swell, synth rise) [Final Chorus – full voice, layered harmonies] I’m breaking out of darkness, Running through the pain, No more walls to hold me, I’m not that child again! I’m rising through the open air, The truth beneath my skin— I found my wings in shadows, Now I’m breathing in again. [Extended Outro – soaring vocals + instrumental solo] Out of darkness, Out of fear— The light inside me’s crystal clear. Out of darkness, I’m finally free… The night can’t take What’s left of me. (Fades on a sustained high note, piano echoing the main melody line.)
