Northstar in my Chest (Version 2)

Verse 1

Six a.m., the mist is burning off the fjord

Steel in my veins but I'm not afraid of this anymore

I built this body from the bones of winter nights

Every rep was thunder underneath the ice

Now the mirror shows a stranger's eyes

Fierce and broken, still I rise

Pre-Chorus

Something ancient is waking in my chest

Cold turns golden, I let go at last

Chorus

I'm not the shadow that stood here before

I am northstar rising through the floor

Hands to the sky like I don't need more

This is how a warrior walks out of the dark again for sure

Verse 2

Every scar's a constellation I read at night

Sweat like rain on armor, lit by golden light

The gym was my battlefield when there was none to fight

Now it's just physics turning into daylight

I traded fear for fuel and learned to love the grind

Every fall is practice that the strong leave behind

Pre-Chorus

Something ancient is waking in my chest

Cold turns golden, I let go at last

Chorus

I'm not the shadow that stood here before

I am northstar rising through the floor

Hands to the sky like I don't need more

This is how a warrior walks out of the dark again for sure

Bridge

Not invincible — unbreakable, that's the word

I keep my ribs open till the sunrise heard

No shame in trembling legs and lungs on fire

This is how the quiet ones become the pyre

Chorus

I'm not the shadow that stood here before

I am northstar rising through the floor

Hands to the sky like I don't need more

This is how a warrior walks out of the dark again for sure
