In shadows cast by others' hands
Whispered dreams like dust on sand
I look to stars, to silent skies
How do you live when no one tries
How do you breathe when the air is tight
How do you fight when you lose your light
What's left to do when you're feeling small
I'll rise from the ashes, I'll answer the call
Every step feels like a plea
Why can't they just let me be free
I reach for hope, but it slips away
How do I find my way through this gray
How do you breathe when the air is tight
How do you fight when you lose your light
What's left to do when you're feeling small
I'll rise from the ashes, I'll answer the call
In the silence, I hear a spark
A whisper soft, igniting the dark
Though suffocated, I will strive
To break these chains, to feel alive
How do you breathe when the air is tight
How do you fight when you lose your light
What's left to do when you're feeling small
I'll rise from the ashes, I'll answer the call
So here I stand, despite the weight
With every breath, I'll challenge fate
And though the world may seem unkind
I'll find my strength, I'll redefine
How do you breathe when the air is tight
How do you fight when you lose your light
What's left to do when you're feeling small
I'll rise from the ashes, I'll answer the call
In the silence, I hear a spark
A whisper soft, igniting the dark
Though suffocated, I will strive
To break these chains, to feel alive
