When It All Burns Down

(Intro — quiet, fragile) I thought I understood it I thought I had control I thought I knew the structure— I thought I knew my soul (Silence) (Impact — full band explodes) (Verse 1) It hit without a warning No signal, no delay Every wall I built around me Blown away Every truth I held like gospel Every lie I called my own Turned to ash in a second— And I was left alone (Pre-Chorus) No time to brace No time to hide— (Chorus) This is what it feels like When it all burns down When the sky comes crashing To the broken ground Call it fate, call it fury Call it what you see— But the world I built to hold me Is collapsing under me (Verse 2) There's no meaning in the moment Just the sound of something breaking Every piece of who I thought I was Finally waking I can feel it in my body Like a shock I can't outrun Every version of my false self Undone (Pre-Chorus) No explanation No control— (Chorus) This is what it feels like When it all burns down When the truth strikes lightning And it splits you open now Call it loss, call it ending Call it clarity— But there's nothing left between me And reality (Bridge — suspended in destruction) Everything I used to be Is falling through my hands Everything I thought was solid I don't understand Was it ever real? Was it ever true? Or was I just surviving In something I outgrew? (Break — chaotic, rhythmic, almost shouted) Break it— Burn it— Tear it to the ground No more illusions— No more safe and sound (Climb — orchestral, rising chaos) If this is destruction Then let it take it all If this is awakening— Then let me fall (Final Chorus — massive, choir, full release) This is what it feels like When it all burns down When the fire clears the wreckage Of the life I built around Call it death, call it freedom Call it what it means— (shift — clarity emerging through chaos) But I can finally see What was never me (Outro — quiet, aftermath) Smoke in the silence… Nothing remains… (soft, almost breath) But something is still here
