The Fall, The Rise lyrics

I held the sky between my ribs And watched it break in front of me The silence burned, the angels hid But in the ashes I could breathe I fell so far I met the dark And found a light that wasn't yours If heaven dies within my heart Then let me be what rises from the fall Your shadow carved a home in me Where every prayer turned into smoke I begged for wings you couldn't see I drowned in words we never spoke But flames reveal what tears conceal And I was forged beneath the weight You lost your faith in what was real But I was learning how to break and recreate And in the ruin of the sky I heard a voice that sounded like You are the storm you try to fight So burn and rise tonight This is the fall The moment heaven let's me go This is the rise The fire growing through my bones If angels break then so will I But I'll come back with open eyes I fell apart to realize I was never meant to stay in heaven's light This is the fall, this is the rise You built your throne on brittle truth And called it love and called me blind But I survived the loss of you And found the strength you tried to hide The scars you left became my name The cracks you made became my crown You feared the man I would become Now watch me rise while heaven drowns And every piece you tore away Became the fuel for who I am If I must crawl through fire again I'll do it standing at the end This is the fall Where all my ghosts are laid to rest This is the rise Where I become what's left If angels bleed then so will I But I return electrified I learned to fight I am the heaven you deny This is the fall I walk through every fire alone Hoping your hands pull me home But every tear I shed was mine And every spark became divine So let the sky collapse again I'll stand beneath it stronger than I've ever been I am the echo of your sin The light that breaks when heaven gives in Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall, let it fall on me I will rise, I will rise, I become what I set free From the ashes, from the cries From the weight you left behind I ascend, I redefine I am the fall, I am the rise I held the sky between my ribs And let it break so I could breathe If heaven falls away from me Then let me rise in what I choose to be
