VEGVISIR Bridge of shadows

There is never a choice, but move forward... Even if that means to build your path yourself [Verse 1] I used to think the dark was mine, The only voice I had. That light was for the chosen ones, And I was built for black. But somewhere in the hollow rooms, Where every prayer had bled, A static signal cut the noise: "You are not finished yet." [Chorus] I’ll build a bridge from shadow, Through the pressure, through the lies. Out to the place where I can stand And look in my own eyes. Not clean, not saved, not innocent, But breathing, scarred, and real. I won’t erase the hate I’ve held — I’ll teach my hate to kneel. [Verse 2] This broken road is not escape, Not smoke above the bone. It is the wound that starts to scream In a language of its own. It drags me back to human hands, But slower, blade in sheath. Not every smile can earn my trust, Not every mouth my grief. I will not bare my throat again To ghosts that call it love. But I can walk with guarded heart And still not shut it up. [Bridge] Let black water flood the floor, Let it whisper, let it rise. I’ll lay one plank across its teeth And cross it with my eyes. Let the old night hiss my name, Let it follow where I go. I have choked on darker things Than the depths that tell me no. [Chorus] I’ll build a bridge from shadow, Through the pressure, through the lies. Out to the place where I can stand And look in my own eyes. Not clean, not saved, not innocent, But breathing, scarred, and real. I won’t erase the hate I’ve held — I’ll teach my hate to kneel. [Final Chorus] I’ll build a bridge from shadow, Every fracture, every stone. Not to become another man, But to reclaim my own. Not holy, white, or purified, But living, loud, and still. I will not run from suffering — I’ll bend it to my will.
