Racing Past The Limit

[Verse 1]
Heartbeat racing
Counting cracks in the ceiling
Old ghosts pacing
They still know what I’m feeling
I was all bruised up
Handprints on my own pride
Thought I was locked in
To that smaller life
[Chorus]
But I’m done staying under the limit
I tear through the line as I am
Every scar is a spark
And I’m in it
I’m not who I was back then
Past memories waking like thunder
But they’re breaking beneath my feet
I’m the crash
I’m the flame
I’m the wonder
I’m becoming who I’m meant to be
[Verse 2]
Cold glass mirror
Used to hate my reflection
Now it’s clearer
I was built for this tension
Every wrong turn
Just a curve in the road
Every “you can’t”
Now a weight I throw
[Chorus]
‘Cause I’m done staying under the limit
I tear through the line as I am
Every scar is a spark
And I’m in it
I’m not who I was back then
Past memories waking like thunder
But they’re breaking beneath my feet
I’m the crash
I’m the flame
I’m the wonder
I’m becoming who I’m meant to be
[Bridge]
Yeah I’m shaking
But I’m standing (hey!)
Hear the past call out my name
Let it echo
Let it vanish
Fuel the fire
Feed the change
[Chorus]
I’m done staying under the limit
I tear through the line as I am
Every scar is a spark
And I’m in it
I’m not who I was back then
Past memories waking like thunder
And they’re roaring behind my speed
I’m the crash
I’m the flame
I’m the wonder
I’m becoming who I’m meant to be
(who I’m meant to be)

rock, High-energy modern rock: overdriven guitars, tight picked verse riff that opens to wide power chords in the chorus. Drums punchy and urgent with tom fills into each section. Vocal starts tense and close-mic’d, then opens into soaring, layered hooks on the chorus. Brief guitar lead under the bridge, then a final half-time chorus for maximum lift. Male or female vocals, gritty and emotive.
