Lyrics

I was small when the night came running
Black and white at the edge of my bed
No faces, just shapes with hunger
Every step I took, they took ahead
I learned fear before I learned language
Learned silence before my name
That nightmare didn't need a voice
It already knew my shape
I didn't have the words back then
Just a pulse and a will to stand
You learn early how to keep moving
When nothing goes to plan
I'm still learning how to fly
Still learning what I am
I don't fall, I don't disappear
I rise when I can
Nightmares or dreams, I'm still moving through
Nightmares or dreams, I'm still breaking through
I'm not running, I'm not done
I'm still learning how to fly
I found a way to lift the ground
By pulling my knees up tight
Just enough to leave the damage
Just enough to steal some light
Later I was ten feet higher
Hovering on borrowed air
That nightmare started watching
When I stopped pretending it wasn't there
Every year I got a little braver
Every scar taught me control
What chased me learned my footsteps
When I took hold
I'm still learning how to fly
Still learning what I need
I don't crash, I don't vanish
I stay in between
Nightmares or dreams, I'm still moving through
Nightmares or dreams, I'm still breaking through
I'm not fearless, I'm not young
I'm still learning how to fly
I'm driving with my foot on nothing
Brakes won't bite, but I'm not fast
Just enough to feel the consequence
Just enough to tap the past
Back and forth like second chances
Learning where the limit leans
Some nights feel like warnings
Some nights feel like dreams
Then I'm back in boots and lines again
Older eyes, but I know the ground
Every face I've ever been
Still answers when my name is called out
I know what breaks
I know what bends
I know the cost of standing still
I don't go back to prove I'm tougher
I go back because I still will
I'm still learning how to fly
With every weight I survive
I don't need wings, I don't need saving
I'm already alive
Nightmares or dreams, I'm still moving through
Nightmares or dreams, I'm still breaking through
Say it louder, say it loud
Nightmares or dreams
I don't wake up from the fall anymore
I wake up knowing why
Nightmares or dreams
I don't ask which
I just learn how to fly
