Description
(Verse 1)
Empty chair at the head of the table, cake candles blown for them again
Cold kitchen light, frosting fingerprints, laughter like a distant rain
Photos on the mantle, two faces framed in gold and glass
I trace their smiles in the spare applause, feel every minute pass
(Pre-Chorus)
Caught under a spotlight that never looked my way
The echo keeps the score while I learning how to stay
Small as a whisper beneath their thunderous cheers
I keep my heartbeat steady but I’m swallowed by the years
(Chorus)
Don't hide me — I'm coming alive
No more ghost at the table, watch me take my time
Don't hide me — I'm coming alive
I’ll sing my name out loud and I’ll steal back what’s mine
(Verse 2)
Sleeves rolled up, I wash the plates they never noticed I had set
Holding onto crumbs of kindness, counting every quiet debt
Their stories get the sunlight, mine fades with the night
I learned to hide my tremors from the places that should hold me tight
(Pre-Chorus)
Kitchen clock keeps ticking like a judge that won’t be swayed
I stand beneath the freezer hum where love gets rearranged
I practice louder breathing so my voice won't cave away
Learning how to build a bridge from this cold and quiet space
(Chorus)
Don't hide me — I'm coming alive
No more ghost at the table, watch me take my time
Don't hide me — I'm coming alive
I’ll sing my name out loud and I’ll steal back what’s mine
(Bridge — Build)
(Gritty guitar riff cuts in, driving drums begin to climb)
I tighten every story, turn the small into a flame
I’ll break the frame, steal back my name — I won’t be wearing shame
One step, two steps, out the door with a drumbeat in my chest
I take the mic, I claim the night; I won’t bow to less
(Soulful vocal run — let it cry and rise)
(Chorus — Final)
Don't hide me — I'm coming alive
No more shadow fooling me, I’ll learn to stand in light
Don't hide me — I'm coming alive
Hear my voice, the room rearranges, I’m ready for this life
(Outro)
Grit and gold on the fingertips, I walk beneath a raw neon sky
No longer the silence on the porch — I raise my voice, I testify
A last gritty guitar cut, a drumstick’s final strike
I step into the doorway, microphone in hand — I start my life
(Production note: gritty guitar riff, steady driving drums, and a soulful vocal run lift the bridge into the final chorus.)
