Rising from the Flames

I was chasing after shadows in the noon Running from the truth

at modern speed

Dust upon the dreams we meant to keep I didn't know what

love would need

Swimming in the noise to find quiet Took me years to learn

to breathe

Now I'm dancing with the ghost of who I was Thanking her

for setting me free

Heavy is the crown of quiet minds But mine is soft and

light tonight I see it clear from where I stand

We crashed, we burned,

we learned to rise

Every scar was a compromise I'd do it slower if I could

But it made me who I am for good Crash and burn,

look how far we came

I'm not running from my name

We build our little fires in the dark Just to find our

way back home

Echoes in the room I left behind Still humming like they're not

alone

Slowing down enough to watch the fade That's the wisdom no one

told me about

Carving out a home inside a scar Turns out that's what peace

is all about Heavy is the crown of quiet minds But mine

is soft and light tonight I see it clear from where I

stand

We crashed, we burned,

we learned to rise

Every scar was a compromise I'd do it slower if I could

But it made me who I am for good

Crash and burn, look how far we came I'm not running from

my name

If I could sit that girl down now I'd tell her,

"Baby, you're alright

Every wrong turn taught you how To finally love your own damn

life"

Swimming in the noise,

I found the quiet Dancing with the ghost,

I'm finally free Crash and burn,

and still I'm rising This is who I'm meant to be
