Syncopated Skin

Woke up to a new dawn, feeling the change inside Used to chase the empty nights, hiding from my own light Walls I built so high around kept my heart from beating sound But now I'm breaking through the pain learning love in every rain No more running from the truth every scar is living proof I'm growing rising like the tiger stronger with every breath Taking sight from the ashes, I ignite, personal fire burning bright Oh, I'm growing, can't deny, wings unfolded, touch the sky Mirrors used to lie to me, showed a strain, not free Now I see the power deep, roots that run, promises I keep The brick carved in tender skin, turning weakness into winds No more hiding from the call I'm answering it all I'm growing rising like the tiger stronger with every breath Taking sight from the ashes, I ignite, personal fire burning bright Oh, I'm growing, can't deny, wings unfolded, touch the sky Be closer to the flame, feel the shift It's not the same it's not the same And then I'm growing rising like the tiger stronger with every breath Taking sight from the ashes, I ignite, personal fire burning bright Oh, I'm growing, can't deny, wings unfolded, touch the sky Be closer to the flame, feel the shift It's not the same Every breath Every step A sweeter song In this heart where I belong
