Lyric

Spent years chasing windows

Lit by someone else’s sky

Thinking if I reached them

I would finally feel alive

Wore myself into reflections

Tried to fit their shape

Never noticed all the brightness

I was giving away

Some fires whisper

Before they rise

Real light

Doesn’t ask permission

Doesn’t need the room

To recognize its vision

Real light

Finds you in the grey

Not when life is perfect

But when you choose to stay

Morning on the counter

Dust turning gold in air

Nothing huge has happened

But everything feels there

The same old walls around me

The same old name I keep

Yet somehow I am different

Than the one who couldn’t sleep

Maybe change is quiet

When it’s deep

Real light

Doesn’t crash like thunder

It grows inside the cracks

You once went under

Real light

Waited through the rain

For the day you’d stop

Calling yourself the pain

I kept looking outward

For a hand to pull me through

Then I felt a pulse and realized

It was always you

Real light

Burning soft and clear

All the nights that almost broke me

Brought me here

Real light

I can see it now

Not above me, not beyond me

But living in me now

Real light
