Rising Through the Static (version 2)

Verse

Concrete still remembers the heat of the day

Streetlights flicker like they're reading my name

Every window a doorway I never knew

I was born for this one minute, nothing less

The city holds its breath and lets it go

Something ancient rising from beneath the stone

A voice that's not mine speaking low

I know every block before I turn

Turned into something I can't define

Pre-Chorus

Feel it building, feel it rise

Every heartbeat pushing through the skies

Hold on tight, hold on right

Chorus

Rising through the static in my chest

Something ancient breaking out of me yet

I don't know who I am but this is how it's meant to be

Rising through the static till there's nothing left but me and you

Through every door that was never mine

This is the fire, this is the sign

Verse

Sirens fade as the bassline swells

Every shadow turning into a star, every bell

I'm not running, I'm just rising with it all

Windows open like mouths to call me back in full

Something ancient living through my spine

Feet don't know where they're supposed to land

The whole city shaking off its chains

Pre-Chorus

Feel it building, feel it rise

Every heartbeat pushing through the skies

Hold on tight, hold on right

Chorus

Rising through the static in my chest

Something ancient breaking out of me yet

I don't know who I am but this is how it's meant to be

Rising through the static till there's nothing left but me and you

Through every door that was never mine

This is the fire, this is the sign

Bridge

Not a name they can call from afar

Just a spark turning into a star

Nothing in my past, nothing I've been told

Every pulse is a secret that's old

This isn't rising, it's just breaking free

From every wall that ever kept me trapped

Chorus

Rising through the static in my chest

Something ancient breaking out of me yet

I don't know who I am but this is how it's meant to be

Rising through the static till there's nothing left but me and you

Through every door that was never mine

This is the fire, this is the sign

Outro

The static breaks

The city holds its breath no more

I'm not just rising, I am the roar
