Prompt / Lyrics
There’s a crack in the ceiling above my bed Like a line that won’t erase I’ve been staring at it every night Like it knows my name Clock keeps bleeding red numbers 3:17 again I’m wide awake with a head full of noise With nowhere left to pretend They say slow down It’ll all work out But I can’t breathe When I’m living small Before the morning breaks Before the world wakes up I’m already running With the weight in my blood I don’t know where it ends But I know where I stand If I fall on my face At least I ran Before the morning breaks I won’t fade away I’d rather burn in the dark Than never feel the flame Every room feels smaller lately Like the walls lean in Smiles feel like conversations That I’m not really in They talk about tomorrow Like it’s safe and planned But I’ve got thunder in my chest They don’t understand They say hold on You’ll get your turn But I can’t live If I don’t burn Before the morning breaks Before the world wakes up I’m already running With the weight in my blood I don’t know where it ends But I know where I stand If I fall on my face At least I ran Before the morning breaks I won’t fade away I’d rather burn in the dark Than never feel the flame Maybe I’m too much Maybe I’m too loud But silence never saved me And I won’t bow down If this is all I get Then I’m taking it hard I’ll leave my name in the pavement With the scars Before the morning breaks Before the world can speak I’m choosing motion Over playing it safe and weak If I’m chasing a ghost Or a version of me I’ll keep running Till I’m finally free Before the morning breaks Yeah I’ll carry the flame Even if no one Remembers my name
