Lyrics:
Verse 1
I’ve been carrying a weight I can’t explain
Miles inside me, but I’m still in the same place
Fluorescent nights and a pulse on the screen
Waiting on a change in what my body keeps
Pre-Chorus
Then a clear line, steady in my vein
A small repair in a crowded chain
If the cells can take it, let it in
Maybe I can rise again
Chorus
Fifty-two weeks, one more breath in my chest
One more step that feels like less of a test
Wash it out, break it down, let the shadows lift
When the stored-up tide finally starts to shift
I’m walking farther than I’ve ever been
I’m walking into the light again
Verse 2
Numbers on paper, but I feel them move
Less ache in the hours, more room in the room
The silent swelling starts to let me go
Like doors in my body opening slow
Bridge
I know there’s risk in every new start
Signals can flare, and defenses can spark
But we watch the waves, we measure the fire
Hold to the course, take it higher
Final Chorus
Fifty-two weeks, and the future’s in reach
Stronger legs under the same old streets
Wash it out, break it down, let the fear unclip
When the heavy inside finally loosens its grip
I’m walking farther than I’ve ever been
I’m walking into the light again
