Lyric

Slipping through a broken gate

Holding even breath and sound

Something in the midnight air

Pushes me across the ground

Every step along the stair

Echoes back a trembling line—

As if the city’s empty halls

Breathe behind my spine

Reading out the blinking lights

Fingertips on frozen rails

Words dissolve before they form

Only motion tells the tale

Shadows flicker past the glass

Neon trembling in the rain

I don’t know what pulls me forward—

Only that I move again

When I turn around there’s nothing

Silence stretching edge to edge

Still the beating in my chest

Pushes me beyond the ledge

No one saw me running upward

No one caught the path I chose

Still the breathing of the city

Pulled me where the night wind blows

I rise—this motion in the quiet

Carried by a hidden light

This climb, this pulse, this moment—

Everything I am tonight

Metal fences split the dark

Air begins to shift and wake

Cooling sweat across my palms—

Another step, another ache

All the noise below the streets

Slowly fades into the past

Only breath becomes a rhythm

Beating steady, rising fast

Almost at the rooftop’s edge

Only three more stairs to go

Heart outrunning thought and sound

Racing where I never know

Up above the restless glow

Wind is humming through the beams—

Calling me beyond the towers

Past the edges of my dreams

Faster than the flash of light

Something breaks inside my voice

Even if it never reaches—

Still, the motion is my choice

No one stopped me, no one tried to

No one heard the pulse I chased

Still I rose above the buildings

Every wall I had to face

I rise—this feeling breaking open

Flooding through the wordless night

This height, this breath, this freedom—

Everything I claim tonight

If my voice can’t reach a soul

Let the open sky receive it

Only here, this height alone

Shows the truth I still believe in

No one saw me—still I kept on

Through the quiet, through the dark

Every breath became a fire

Every scar became a spark

I rise—beyond the fading city

Higher than I’ve ever known

This sky, this self, this silence—

Now it’s mine and mine alone
