Your watch is finally over

Описание: [Intro]
I used to pray to forget myself,
But forgetting never saved me.
I just learned how to survive in silence
And call it being strong.

[Verse 1]
They see the calm in my eyes now,
Like I was born with light in my hands,
But I was stitched together in back rooms
By a man who didn’t have a plan.
He made shelter out of hunger,
Made courage out of fear,
Taught my heart to beat real quiet
So nobody could hear.

[Pre-Chorus]
I didn’t heal, I just got quieter,
Learned how not to scream,
But the child that bled inside of me
Still wakes me in my sleep.

[Chorus]
I know why you came,
I know what you did,
I know every door you broke,
You weren’t cruel, you were cornered,
You were fighting for a pulse.
But I’m here now,
And I don’t need blood to feel alive,
I don’t need fire to feel warm,
So rest your hands,
Old soldier soul,
Your war isn’t mine anymore.

[Verse 2]
I carry a father’s quiet terror,
Every promise I was never told,
I’m teaching love with shaking fingers
From a heart that grew up old.
I give my son the map I never had,
Try to make the future kind,
While my past still pulls my sleeve
Like it’s scared I’ll leave it behind.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
They say forgive yourself and move along,
Like it’s some shallow door,
But nobody teaches you how to live
When the danger isn’t there anymore.

[Chorus]
I know why you came,
I know what you did,
I know the nights you chose to stay,
You weren’t broken, you were building
In the only way you knew to stay.
But I’m here now,
And I don’t need pain to be real,
I don’t need loss to belong,
So lay it down,
Old guardian heart,
You don’t have to be strong.

[Bridge]
If your sins are always before you,
You’re not cursed, you’re awake,
You just learned to live inside a storm
And forgot how to feel safe.
This isn’t erasing what we’ve been,
It’s choosing who commands,
I take your name out of the fire
And write it in my hands.

[Final Chorus]
I know why you came,
I know what you gave,
I won’t bury you in shame,
You were the bridge, you were the shelter,
You were the one who kept me sane.
But I’m here now,
And I don’t need chains to feel held,
I don’t need ghosts to come home,
So sleep tonight,
Old beautiful wreck,
Your watch is finally over.

[Outro]
To anyone who’s carrying a self they outgrew,
You’re not haunted…
You’re graduating

[interlude]
Now..., Let's go into the silence.
