[Intro – soft clean guitar arpeggios, distant cymbal wash] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1 – quiet, breathy vocals, sparse guitar strums] I trace the cracks in my desk at two a.m. Stitch the words back together again They call me when their skies turn gray But my own storm’s been here for days [Pre-Chorus – building guitar distortion, steady snare roll] Did I stack these stones with my own two hands? Block the light I thought I’d understand? I keep the switch flipped for everyone else But my own room’s stuck on self-destruct [Chorus – full band crash, raw unfiltered vocals] I’m the one they run to when the world falls apart But I don’t know who I am when it’s quiet and dark I built a wall to keep the chaos out Now I’m the one trapped behind the doubt [Verse 2 – slightly more confident vocals, layered rhythm guitar] I know the tricks to keep the pieces tight Count the breaths to make the panic light I write their stories, fix their broken parts But my own chapters are still torn apart [Pre-Chorus 2 – louder distortion, faster snare, rising vocal tension] I thought that lighthouse was my guiding star Turns out I’ve been steering from the back of the car I show them the way through the fog and the fear But I can’t find the map to get myself clear [Chorus 2 – fuller band, harmonized backing vocals, more urgent delivery] I’m the one they run to when the world falls apart But I don’t know who I am when it’s quiet and dark I built a wall to keep the chaos out Now I’m the one trapped behind the doubt I light the way for every lost soul’s fight But I’m still searching for my own damn light [Bridge – stripped back to vocals and clean guitar, then building to full band] I don’t want to be the fixed thing anymore Just someone who’s still learning the score The wall’s not just a shield, it’s a cage I made And the lighthouse was always mine to take [Solo – wailing distorted guitar, raw feedback, building intensity] (Instrumental Solo) [Final Chorus – maximum band energy, raw accepting vocals] I’m the one they run to when the world falls apart But I’m learning who I am when it’s quiet and dark I’ll chip the wall away, one stone at a time Let the lighthouse shine on this messy, mine I’ll keep guiding them through the fog and the fear But this time, I’ll find my way right here [Outro – fading distorted guitar, soft vocal hum] Stone by stone, light by light I’ll find my way through the night
