Lyrics

verse 1
i let the city fade behind my eyelids
coffee cool on the counter, windows cracked wide
my chest finally quiets, my hands steady
the world’s loud hands can’t touch me here
pre-chorus
i trace the lines on my own skin
remembering the fights i survived, the nights i’d been thin
every breath tastes like reclaiming air
for the first time in weeks, i feel bare
chorus
pause, just me and the sound of my heartbeat
pause, let the chaos dissolve at my feet
i’m not running, not hiding, just sitting
and for a moment, the world can wait, i’m existing
verse 2
shadows stretch like old memories across the floor
i touch them gently, let them leave, let them pour
my shoulders unclench, my spine remembers upright
i’m here, i’m soft, i’m steady, i’m right
pre-chorus
i trace the lines on my own skin
remembering the fights i survived, the nights i’d been thin
every breath tastes like reclaiming air
for the first time in weeks, i feel bare
chorus
pause, just me and the sound of my heartbeat
pause, let the chaos dissolve at my feet
i’m not running, not hiding, just sitting
and for a moment, the world can wait, i’m existing
bridge
no one to answer to, no schedule to keep
i sink into the silence, deep
every thought, every sigh, mine to hold
i’m my own warmth, my own gold
outro
pause, i let myself arrive
still, breathing, alive
