Lyrics

[Intro]
I learned to breathe in whispers, waiting out the walls,
Holding my name between my teeth till the echo falls.

[Verse 1]
I brace for a blow that never lands,
Sleep with one eye open, counting the seconds by hand.
This armor I forgot how to take off
Glints in the dark like a warning I wear to myself.

[Build]

[Chorus]
This is the last night I'm afraid of the dark.
I plant my feet and let the silence miss its mark.
I feel a dawn I stopped believing in start,
Breaking the black with the heat of my heart.
This is the last night I'm afraid of the dark.

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I checked every lock till the metal knew my hands,
Kept a light under the bed like a flare I never used.
Waited for thunder that never found my roof,
Jumped at the doorway, its shadow shaped like a bruise.

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
This is the last night I'm afraid of the dark.
I won’t keep shaking at the edges of a harmless spark.
I feel a dawn I stopped believing in start,
Pouring through cracks I wore into my guard.
Let every corner see I’m not falling apart.
This is the last night I’m afraid of the dark.
This is the last night I’m afraid of the dark.

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
I set the armor down on the floorboards, let it ring.
My shoulders remember how to stand without it.
If the night is a mouth, it can swallow my fear, not me.
This is the last night I’m afraid of the dark.

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
I keep both eyes open and the room keeps still,
And a dawn I stopped believing in finds me here.
