[Intro - Atmospheric] (Choir pad, glassy synths, distant heartbeat sub) [Signature guitar riff enters — clean, chiming] Ooooh… Aaah… (breathy) [Verse 1 — Rap] Shadows cling, silence strapped, heart wired to fight, Scars like topography — map of long nights. I keep the light low, let your storm reorganize, (snap) No white-knuckled rescue, just steadied eyes. I move like a prism, refract your edges into shards, Color-splitting truth through the cracks in your guard. Step by step, you shift — slow, sovereign, precise, I steady the mirror while you cut through the ice. No savior cape, no script, just a steady frame, I pass the pulse, you run the flame — not my name. Rhythms collide: breath, beat — cadence locked tight, Punchlines like tectonics, shifting your night. (half-bar rest) [Pre-Chorus — Half-time, soaring] I wasn’t born to just survive, I light the ember, help you thrive. Through storms unseen, I chart the line, An endless dawn from darkest brine. [Chorus — Big, anthemic (timp hits on downbeats)] I didn't save — I stayed. I didn’t lead — I prayed. (ooo—ah — counter-melody) I became still, so you could move through, The dark and the light… and laugh again too. I didn’t break you, I shone, Like colors passing through stone. I was the prism, not the flame — You crossed the veil in your own name. [Post-Chorus — Sung ad-libs / counter-melody] (ooo—ooo) — like shards of sky, (ah—ah) — you find how to fly. [Verse 2 — Sung / Punchy rock-rap hybrid] Echoes climb from ash, I trace the burn lines, Your palms hold a map of the hard-won designs. We walk on braided wires — grit and gold thread, The chorus of kin hums the words we once said. You flexed through the static, learned to bend light, A silhouette unbroken in the rearview of night. I kept my hands low, let your pulse lead the frame, You learned to name storms — then step through the flame. [Pre-Chorus — Build, choir underneath] I wasn’t born to just survive, I light the ember, help you thrive. Through storms unseen, I chart the line, An endless dawn from darkest brine. [Chorus — Bigger (guitars, choir pad, timp/kit hits)] I didn't save — I stayed. (I stayed) I didn’t lead — I prayed. (I prayed) (ooo—ah — higher counter) I became still, so you could move through, The dark and the light… and laugh again too. I didn’t break you, I shone, Like colors passing through stone. I was the prism, not the flame — You crossed the veil in your own name. [High-Energy Rap Breakdown — Bridge Replacement] Listen — snap back, drum hits like a verdict, Clocks unspooling, we move where past curtains skirt it. I’m the steady hand that taught your jaw to set, You’re the one who moved when the ground was a threat. Name the fear, pin it, then watch it retract, We traded scars for stitches and grit for the pact. Half-time heartbeat, then we flip to full speed, Guitar screams like sirens while your resolve feeds. Prism-work: split the dark, throw it into flame, But you hold the walk — you carved out the name. Raise
