Lyrics

Morning comes in quiet shades,
Sunlight fights its way through blinds.
Coffee steams, my hands don’t shake,
For the first time in a long damn time.

Boots still dirty by the door,
But they don’t feel as heavy now.
War’s still hummin’ in my head,
Just not as loud… not as loud.

Verse 2

I still wake up soaked in sweat,
Some nights don’t let me sleep.
But I’m learnin’ which ghosts to face,
And which ones ain’t worth keepin’ me.

I ain’t cured, I ain’t fixed,
I ain’t forgot what I’ve seen.
But I found a crack in the dark,
And a little space to breathe.

Pre-Chorus (byggende, håpefull)

I won’t lie and say I’m whole,
But I ain’t lost in the smoke no more.

Chorus

I’m learnin’ how to breathe again,
One slow step, one honest friend.
The war still whispers in my veins,
But it don’t own my name.
Yeah, I carry scars, I carry truth,
But I’m standin’ tall in worn-out shoes.
I ain’t runnin’, I ain’t free—
But I’m learnin’ how to breathe.

Verse 3 (mer styrke, mer jordnær)

I started walkin’ different roads,
Said no to bars, said yes to dawn.
Some days hurt worse than others do,
But I ain’t fightin’ it head-on.

I let the silence sit with me,
Didn’t reach for fire or flame.
Turns out peace don’t shout too loud—
It just says your name.

Pre-Chorus (større)

I can’t erase the things I’ve done,
But I can choose the man I become.

Chorus (større, løftet men fortsatt mørkt)

I’m learnin’ how to breathe again,
Not numb, not wired, just present.
The night still knocks from time to time,
But I don’t barricade my mind.
I’ve been broken, I’ve been bruised,
I’ve been lost in foreign truths.
I ain’t healed, but I believe—
I’m learnin’ how to breathe.

Bridge (Doc Raven spoken/sung – lavmælt styrke)

I used to think survival meant stayin’ hard,
Keep your back against the wall, guard your heart.
But turns out strength is stayin’ when you shake,
Lookin’ pain dead in the eye… and not lookin’ away.

Final Chorus (mest lys, men fortsatt ekte)

I’m learnin’ how to breathe again,
With dirt on my hands and scars within.
I still remember every fallen mile,
But I’m lookin’ forward… for the first damn while.
Yeah, the shadows walk, but they don’t lead—
I’m learnin’ how to breathe.

Outro (rolig, nesten fredfull)

Morning light on worn-out boots,
Still got shadows… but I’ve got roots.
