Breaking Through The Gray

I sit inside the quiet

Where the sunlight used to fall

Every dream I carried

Now hangs broken on the wall

I reach for something steady

But the ground gives way again

And the voice inside me whispers

"Are you finished giving in?"

I used to feel the fire

Now I barely feel the spark

All the colors turned to ashes

And the world went dim and dark

But I'm breaking through the grey

Even if my hands still shake

Every shadow that I'm fighting

Only teaches what's at stake

And though I've lost so many nights

I won't let the fear dictate

I'm still breathing still believing

While I'm breaking through the grey

The memories cut open

Scars I never meant to show

Trying hard to outrun

Every version of the ghost

But somewhere in the distance

I can hear a chain unlock

And a heartbeat that reminds me

I was made for more than loss

I used to feel the fire

Buried deep beneath the pain

Now it's rising like a warning

"I am not the same again"

'Cause I'm breaking through the grey

And I won't slip back in the haze

All the doubt that kept me silent

Now is burning in the blaze

I've been torn and I've been weakened

But I won't let that be my fate

I'm still fighting still igniting

While I'm breaking through the grey

Let the old world fall behind me

Let the fractures make me strong

If the darkness tries to drown me

I'll become the battle song

Every breath a revelation

Every tear a reckoning

I will rise beyond the ruin

Hear the broken metal ring

I'm breaking through the grey

Let the night get out of my way

I was fading into silence

Now I'm louder every day

I was standing at the edge

Thought the light had slipped away

But I'm burning still returning

Yeah I'm breaking through the grey

Still breathing

Still believing

Breaking through the grey
