Fire in My Mind (official music)

Verse 1

I still remember how the streetlights looked

When you said, "Stay close, don't let go,"

Now every night is a photograph that shook

Like it knows exactly what I don't.

My phone lights up but it's only time,

And the silence hits like thunder through my chest,

I'm learning how to breathe with the goodbye,

But I can't forgive the way it left.

Pre-Chorus

'Cause I'm standing in the wreck of the "almost,"

Hands in the air where the hope used to be,

Every prayer turns into smoke and ash—

But I swear it's not the end for me.

Chorus

I'm gonna love you loud in my own way,

If the world don't understand, let it burn bright.

I will break, but I won't stay broken—

I'll light up the dark with my fight.

You can take the night, take the reasons,

Take the tears I tried to hide—

But you can't take what I'm becoming:

I will rise, I will rise, with the fire in my mind.

Verse 2

I've been walking through the "what if"s like a maze,

Turning every memory into stone,

But I feel your ghost in the shape of my faith,

Like a door that only opens home.

I watched the seasons change their color just to prove

That even storms have to move on through,

So I'm packing up the pain in a paper-thin box

And I'm building something true.

Pre-Chorus

Yeah, I'm done with begging for a miracle,

Done with hiding from the truth that hurts,

If I fall, I'll fall into my future—

Not the past that keeps me in the dirt.

Chorus

I'm gonna love you loud in my own way,

If the world don't understand, let it burn bright.

I will break, but I won't stay broken—

I'll light up the dark with my fight.

You can take the night, take the reasons,

Take the tears I tried to hide—

But you can't take what I'm becoming:

I will rise, I will rise, with the fire in my mind.

Bridge

There's a scream in my heartbeat, it's telling me "go,"

Even if my hands are shaking, I know.

I'm not asking for forgiveness from the silence—

I'm making peace with the part that's gone.

If love was a lesson, then I learned the line:

You don't need them to survive—

You need the courage to change your mind.

Final Chorus (bigger, higher, slower build then explode)

I'm gonna love you loud in my own way,

Let the skyline shake with my right to shine.

I will break, but I won't stay broken—

I'll turn every scar into a sign.

You can take the night, take the reasons,

Take the tears I tried to hide—

But you can't take what I'm becoming:

I will rise, I will rise...

I will rise— (hold it) with the fire in my mind.
