Departed

[Verse 1] In depths of despair, felt my world collapse, Brother's soul departed, left only scraps. The pain it caused, void left behind, Witnessed the wreckage, nothing healed with time. [Pre-Chorus] In that darkness, strength was found, Rose from ashes, would not be bound. [Chorus] I've faced down nights, lying broken on the floor, Refused to surrender, fought the battles of before. Chains of sadness, past's heavy weight, I stood and fought, declared it's not too late. [Verse 2] Saw devastation, anguish in their eyes, Family torn apart, consumed by silent cries. Couldn't let grief define my destiny, Had to find the light, set myself free. [Pre-Chorus] Won't let despair be my final song, I'll rise above, show them I'm strong. [Chorus] I've faced down nights, lying broken on the floor, Refused to surrender, fought the battles of before. Chains of sadness, past's heavy weight, I stood and fought, declared it's not too late. [Interlude] [Bridge] In honor of my brother, I'll carry his name, Speak out against the stigma, break the shame. Together we'll heal, find our way through, He's here forever, guiding all I do. [Chorus] I've faced down nights, lying broken on the floor, Refused to surrender, fought the battles of before. Chains of sadness, past's heavy weight, I stood and fought, declared it's not too late. [Interlude] [Chorus] I've faced down nights, lying broken on the floor, Refused to surrender, fought the battles of before. Chains of sadness, past's heavy weight, I stood and fought, declared it's not too late. [Outro] So don't give up on you, don't let darkness win, There's light within us, waiting to begin. Embracing love that surrounds you each day, Together we rise and united we stay.
