Aikumar - Levee Break Lyrics

Raindrops on the window, mirror shows a stranger's eyes
Salty sting of heartbreak, echoing every broken lie
Used to think I was a warrior, could weather any storm
But this ache, it claws inside me, keeps me feeling so damn worn

Heard a whisper in the silence, a voice that cut like ice
"Healing takes forever, baby, gotta face the sacrifice"

Gotta scream these tears out, gotta let the levee break
Gotta crack myself wide open, for my own damn sake
This ain't a prison sentence, it's a fight to break the chains
Find the embers in the ashes, ignite the fire in my veins

Therapy's a battlefield, where I confront the ghosts
Rewriting every nightmare, replacing fear with what I know's best
Journal pages stained with fury, the battles I have won
Learning to forgive the darkness, so the light can finally come

Mindfulness, my anchor, keeps me tethered to the shore
Breath by ragged breath, I'm rising, stronger than I was before

Gotta scream these tears out, gotta let the levee break
Gotta crack myself wide open, for my own damn sake
This ain't a prison sentence, it's a fight to break the chains
Find the embers in the ashes, ignite the fire in my veins

This heart, a shattered kaleidoscope, a million broken dreams
But with every jagged shard I mend, a brighter future gleams
This ain't a burden, it's a war I gotta choose to win
These scars, a testament to the battles fought from within

Gotta scream these tears out, gotta let the levee break
Gotta crack myself wide open, for my own damn sake
This ain't a prison sentence, it's a fight to break the chains
Find the embers in the ashes, ignite the fire in my veins

Yeah, ignite the fire, watch my spirit take flight
Healing, growing, burning ever so bright
