Lyrics
There was a time I thought the dark had my name. But it didn’t keep it. Ash on my shoulders, gold in my lungs I wore the silence till the morning come Every closed door taught my hands new keys Every hard night pulled the light from me I was bent low by the weight of doubt Still found a fire they couldn’t put out Every bruise got turned into design Every loss drew a sharper line Slow breath— Stand still— Feel the sky start to fill. I know what it means to break in two And still come back more like the truth. I came back brighter Brighter than the night that tried to hold me down I came back brighter With a louder heart and a steadier crown Every scar caught fire Every tear turned light If you thought the dark could finish me— Look at me now I came back brighter. Cold winds called, but I didn’t fold Made a home in the heat of what I know Every fear lost power in the flame Every old ghost forgot my name I’ve been cracked open, I’ve been undone Still I rose where the smoke would run Not untouched, not clean, not new— Just more alive, more lit, more true Hold on— Lift up— Let the whole horizon rush. I know what it means to lose your shape And still rise shining from the weight. I came back brighter Brighter than the night that tried to hold me down I came back brighter With a louder heart and a steadier crown Every scar caught fire Every tear turned light If you thought the dark could finish me— Look at me now I came back brighter. Not in spite of the fire Because of it Not in spite of the pain Because of it Every shadow made room For what I became— And now the whole sky Knows my name. I came back brighter Brighter than the night that tried to hold me down I came back brighter With a louder heart and a steadier crown Every scar caught fire Every tear turned light If you thought the dark could finish me— Look at me now I came back brighter. Brighter… Brighter… I came back brighter.
