Supernova

I held the weight of every year
Compressed it down, disguised as fine
Every silence, every scar
Collapsing slow beneath the shine

I burned for you
I burned for them
I burned until there was no core
I kept it in so long
I don't know what I'm made
For anymore

But there's a point where pressure breaks
Where the dark can't hold what it made
There's a point where gravity forgets my name
And I stop collapsing inward on the pain

I'm the star that caved in on itself
I'm the light that had to die to be reborn
I'm exploding out, not falling in
This is not the end, this is where I begin
Supernova
Watch the darkness turn to dawn
Everything I was is gone

(I am not imploding)
(I am not disappearing)
(I am becoming something the dark has never seen)
(Watch me)
(Watch me become the light)

They said stars just fade away
Quiet, small, forgettable, unseen
But they never saw the core
They never saw what pressure means

I'm the star that caved in on itself
I'm the light that had to die to be reborn
I'm exploding out, not falling in
This is not the end, this is where I begin
Supernova
Watch the darkness turn to dawn
Everything I was is gone

I was dust, I was silence, I was weight
Now I'm scattered into stars, into fate
Every fragment finds a place to shine
This is not my end
