Against the Grain [1]

[Intro] In the dark where the secrets play, I found my spot, just being me every day, Lost so long, searching for my place, But in the noise, I found my grace. [Chorus] Stand out, break free, let your truth ignite, You’re a diamond in the chaos, now's your night, Like leaves in the wind, we move with the rain, We rise through the struggle, that’s how we gain. [Verse 1] There’s weight in silence, yeah, it pulls so tight, In a crowd of faces, chasing dreams outta sight, Fitting in’s a trap, it leaves you feeling cold, But every scar tells a story waiting to unfold. I’ve walked through shadows, heavy with fright, But I shine like a flame when the world feels wrong at night. I remember when the walls felt like chains, But those cracks in my heart let light break through the pains. [Chorus] Stand out, break free, let your truth ignite, You’re a diamond in the chaos, now's your night, Like swirling leaves in the pouring rain, We find our strength when we learn from the pain. [Verse 2] Each battle I’ve faced, it’s a badge I own, Every tear’s a river, every hurt’s been shown, Came from the depths where the lost gather near, Found my crew in the dark, we walk without fear. Each struggle a step, that’s how I define, In the storm of the truth, I claim what’s mine. Together we rise, our voices combine, Seeing beauty in our flaws, yeah, that’s how we unwind. [Chorus] Stand out, break free, let your truth ignite, You’re a diamond in the chaos, now's your night, Like leaves in the wind, we move with the rain, We rise through the struggle, that’s how we gain. [Bridge] (Instrumental) In the stillness, I find dreams ready to break, Secrets in shadows, where hearts start to wake, There’s strength in our change, on the roads that we pave, Embracing our journey, unafraid and brave. [Chorus] Stand out, break free, let your truth ignite, You’re a diamond in the chaos, now's your night, Like swirling leaves in the pouring rain, We find our strength when we learn from the pain. [Outro] So here’s to the souls who won’t fade away, In the echoes of the lost ones, we create our play. In every heartbeat, let our truth resonate, We’re the echoes of the outsiders, ready to elevate. [Outro]
