Rise From The Low

[Intro] (Soft rain sound fades in, a somber piano melody plays gently underneath) [Verse 1] Yo, another dawn breaks grey, another lonely meal This weight upon my chest, man, tell me how to make it real? Or make it disappear, just vanish like a ghost The sadness got me anchored, feelin' like I need it most It ain't no single moment, nah, it's seeped into the bone A constant hum of emptiness, feelin' so alone Even in a crowded room, the silence screams inside Tryna find the exit where my broken spirit hides The mirror shows a stranger, eyes are tired and dim Lost the f***t, the fire gone, prospects looking grim Memories replay the hurt, like scratches on a disc Stuck inside this mental loop, can't seem to get a grip The world keeps spinnin' fast, but I feel frozen, slow Trapped beneath the surface where the bitter waters flow. [Chorus] Yeah, the low got me low, feelin' the undertow Every step feels heavy, nowhere left to go But I'm climbin' out the darkness, inch by inch I rise Wipin' tears and clearin' clouds from these weary eyes Gotta find the sunlight, gotta break the hold Leavin' all that sorrow buried in the cold This ain't the final chapter, just a page I'm turnin' Through the hurt I'm learnin', yeah, the fire's slowly burnin'. [Verse 2] Started small, just breathin', countin' one, two, three Pushin' back the shadows tryna suffocate me Reached out a shaky hand, broke the isolation Found some voices whisperin' words of consolation Not pretendin' it's all good, nah, that ain't the vibe Just acknowledgin' the pain, tryna finally describe The monster in the closet, name it, face it down Plantin' tiny seeds of hope in barren ground Dusted off the old dreams, ones I thought were d**d Found a rhythm in my step instead of constant dread Wrote the pain on paper, let the ink bleed out Saw the patterns twistin', knew what it was about Gotta build a new foundation, brick by heavy brick Leave the past behind me, gotta make the future stick The sadness left its mark, yeah, a scar upon the soul But scars just show you lived, they help to make you whole. [Chorus] Yeah, the low got me low, feelin' the undertow Every step feels heavy, nowhere left to go But I'm climbin' out the darkness, inch by inch I rise Wipin' tears and clearin' clouds from these weary eyes Gotta find the sunlight, gotta break the hold Leavin' all that sorrow buried in the cold This ain't the final chapter, just a page I'm turnin' Through the hurt I'm learnin', yeah, the fire's slowly burnin'. [Bridge] See, the rain don't fall forever, clouds gotta break sometime Even in the deepest night, you'll see a star still shine That ache? It taught me somethin', showed me strength I didn't know Made me value every sunrise, watch the flowers grow From the cracks up through the concrete, life finds a way to push So I'm diggin' deep within, movin' through the hush The sadness was a chapter, heavy, dark, and long But the story ain't finished, gotta sing a different song. [Chorus] Yeah, the low got me low, feelin' the undertow Every step feels heavy, nowhere left to go But I'm climbin' out the darkness, inch by inch I rise Wipin' tears and clearin' clouds from these weary eyes Gotta find the sunlight, gotta break the hold Leavin' all that sorrow buried in the cold This ain't the final chapter, just a page I'm turnin' Through the hurt I'm learnin', yeah, the fire's slowly burnin'. [Outro] (Chorus melody fades, replaced by the somber piano from the intro, playing a slightly more resolved, hopeful variation. It lingers for a few bars, then fades out completely alongside the soft rain sound, leaving silence.)
