Lyrics
Verse 1
I cut it down,
to what remains.
No borrowed words,
no borrowed names.
I held too much,
I let it fall.
Now there’s just one -
beneath it all.
Chorus
Core...
nothing left to hide.
Core...
nowhere left inside.
Core...
everything reduced.
Core...
only what is true.
Verse 2
No higher ground,
no safer frame.
No one to fix,
no one to blame.
I peel it back,
layer by layer,
until there’s nothing
left to carry.
Chorus
Core...
no more borrowed light.
Core...
nothing left to fight.
Core...
no disguise remains.
Core...
stripped down to the pain.
Bridge – contrast
Take it all...
take it all...
take it all away...
What survives...
doesn’t change.
Final Chorus
Core...
I don’t turn away.
Core...
I don’t need to stay.
Core...
not what I became -
Core...
what was there always.
