Against the Wall

When there's no way forward
And no way back
What remains is the will to stand

Inside this narrow frame
The echoes close, they call my name
Every shadow wears a face I've known
Reflections built from flesh and bone

The weight of time, the silent creed
Turns every wound into a seed
In the garden of despair I crawl
Still breathing against the wall

No savior comes, no curtain falls
I find my truth against the wall

The mind's a cage, but also key
A paradox of misery
Each fall, a chance to redefine
The fragile edge of the divine

To break is to become
To lose is to see
In silence between breaths
I find eternity

You bleed
Contra a parede!
I stand
Contra a parede!
You bleed

The fear that binds becomes my guide
It shows the strength I've kept inside each tear
A mark of what I've known
Each fall, a seed that I've outgrown
The reason fades away

Where night consumes the light of day
Yet in that dark, I see it all
The soul reborn, Against the wall

Against the wall
Through the silence, tides turn
No help from above
No gods to call
Just the will to rise
And stand against the wall

When doubt becomes a sharpening blade
It cuts the fears that I have made
From fractured dreams, I still stand tall
A wounded voice against the wall

The storm returns to test my flame
In winds that chant my name

I'm rising up!
Rising up!
