Verse I (тихо, интимно)
They painted gold on the ceiling
Called it heaven, sold it well
Taught me how to smile while kneeling
Told me this is how you build yourself
Every promise dressed in velvet
Every warning dressed as care
“If you give us all your daylight
You’ll be breathing better air”
But the air was getting thinner
And the lights were burning cold
I was trading pieces of me
For a story I was told
Pre-Chorus (напрежение)
You said the monsters weren’t real
Just shadows in my head
So I learned to shake their hands
And sleep beside my dread
Chorus (голям, емоционален, тежък)
I don’t thrive — I endure
I wear the crown of something pure
But it’s made of borrowed light
And sleepless nights
I don’t shine — I survive
Three long years just staying alive
If this is heaven, let me burn
I learned to live in hell
Verse II (по-ритмичен, натрупващ)
They built a garden out of ashes
Called it growth and called it grace
Said the bruises on my spirit
Were just passion on my face
Every ladder made of silence
Every step a quiet scream
“Give a little more of yourself”
Till there’s nothing left to bleed
Pre-Chorus II (по-интензивен)
You said I’d rise if I surrendered
Said the pain would make me whole
But I was only getting better
At surviving without a soul
Chorus (още по-голям, с бек вокали)
I don’t thrive — I endure
I built my lungs to breathe the war
And I smile like I’ve been blessed
But I’m unrest
I don’t shine — I survive
Made it look like I’m alive
If this is heaven you designed
I’ll take the fire instead
Bridge (тихо → експлозия)
I think I had enough
Of shrinking to fit your dream
You called it loyalty
I call it losing me
I’m going back —
To the parts you couldn’t own
Back to a voice
That sounds like home
Final Chorus (вариация, по-болезнен и силен)
I don’t thrive — I endure
I built my lungs to breathe the war
And I smile like I’ve been blessed
But I’m unrest
I don’t shine — I survive
Made it look like I’m alive
If this is heaven you designed
I’ll take the fire instead
I don’t thrive — I endure
But I remember who I was before
And I’d rather break the spell
Than rule in hell
Three long years I played it well
Made survival look like wealth
If this is what you call a crown
I lay it down
I don’t thrive — I endure
But I remember who I was before
And I’d rather break the spell
Than rule in hell
