Lyrics
She used to float on a paper dream
Holding her breath just to keep it clean
But calm seas got her nowhere fast
So she let the surface crack at last
Sink it down, don't fight the tide
Sometimes you fall just to stay alive
She said, I'd rather dive to rise
Hit the bottom, open my eyes
Better to drown in truth than breathe a lie
Yeah, I dive to rise
Built her world from broken glass
Danced on pain till the fever passed
Now the ground don't scare her feet
She knows how deep the soul can beat
Every scar's a map, every breath's a sign
You don't find light without the climb
She said, I'd rather dive to rise
Hit the bottom, open my eyes
Better to drown in truth than breathe a lie
Yeah, I dive to rise
No more floating just to stay alive
She found her strength where the dark survives
If pain's the price for being real
She'll pay it twice — she likes the feel
She said, I'd rather dive to rise
Hit the bottom, open my eyes
Built my world where the echoes cry
Yeah, I dive to rise
