Edge of the Blade

A single breath before the pressure breaks Cold hands wrapped around the choice I made You found me counting cracks beside the door With every promise scattered on the floor I wore the silence like a borrowed name Then struck the match and stepped into the flame If I fall, let the whole room shake If I run, let the old walls break I have nothing left to hide tonight Pull me out of the undertow I’m not the person that you used to know Raise your hands while the ceiling caves We are more than the fear we face I won’t disappear, I won’t fade away I’m still here at the edge of the blade Count it out, one, two, pressure in my chest Three, four, every failure put me to the test Five, six, no retreat, I can taste the rust Seven, eight, turn the damage into something just You wanted quiet, I became the warning Dragged my name through the dirt, now I’m reborn in Every scar is a map, every doubt gets buried I came back with a pulse and a heart still carrying If I fall, let the whole room shake If I run, let the old walls break I have nothing left to hide tonight Pull me out of the undertow I’m not the person that you used to know Raise your hands while the ceiling caves We are more than the fear we face I won’t disappear, I won’t fade away I’m still here at the edge of the blade You built a cage from every word you said Now watch me tear it from the frame No more No more I refuse to wear your blame The night is heavy, but my lungs still work The wound is open, but it proves I’m hurt Say my name like you mean it this time I crossed the line and took back mine Pull me out of the undertow I’m not the person that you used to know Raise your hands while the ceiling caves We are more than the fear we face I won’t disappear, I won’t fade away I’m still here and I’m wide awake Wide awake Still here Wide awake
