Love me more

[Intro] I need the light to find me, just once. Just once. [Verse 1] Memories hang like broken glass, they cut me when I move, Every morning greets me like a trial I never choose. I wear the night inside my chest, a cold and heavy coat, I study every scar like scripture, weigh the words I don't throw. I try to speak but panic bites, the silence takes my hands, I walk rooms full of faces and feel like no one understands. I used to think strength meant never showing you were frail, But strength’s a crooked ladder, sometimes you slip, sometimes you fail. [Pre-Chorus] If I could clear this morning from my mind, If I could take these shadows and leave them all behind… [Chorus] I want to wake up whole, with sunlight in my eyes, No heavy black to hold me down or drown my steady tries. I want to breathe a clearer breath, to know I’m not at war, If I can free my mind, then maybe I can love me more. [Verse 2] I’ve been trading smiles for quiet screams I sell at night, Swallowing the truth until it drowns the little lights. Medicine of empty words, and people who don’t stay, Promises turn grey and thin and float like ash away. But there’s a small, impatient hope that keeps coming back to stay, It’s tangled in the grief and yet it’s quietly brave. So I’ll put a flag upon the bed, and call a name, and speak, Because the first small, shaky steps are better than defeat. [Pre-Chorus] If I can learn to open up and ask, If I can pick the pieces up and last… [Chorus] I want to wake up whole, with sunlight in my eyes, No heavy black to hold me down or drown my steady tries. I want to breathe a clearer breath, to know I’m not at war, If I can free my mind, then maybe I can love me more. [Bridge] I’m tired of holding storms alone. I’m calling out, it’s not weakness to need a hand. I will not be the pain they taught me to become! [Breakdown] Stay… breathe… stay… [Final Chorus] I woke up whole, the sunlight finds my eyes, The heavy black unravels, and I learn to rise. I breathe a clearer breath, the war is not my core, If I free my mind, then I will love me more. Tonight I start to try. I start to try! [Outro] You don’t have to walk alone. One step. One call. One breath. #solaceinshadows #Metalcore #CinematicMetal #ModernMetal #HardRock #EmotionalMetal #DarkMusic #MetalBand #NewMetal
