[Verse 1]

I held a home that never held me,

twelve long years of quiet breaking.

Every breath felt like permission,

every step a careful shaking.

They called me names I tried to swallow,

shadows stitched into my skin.

But I was only asking softly

for a place where I could finally begin.

---

[Pre-Chorus]

And with trembling hands I lost my way,

papers falling in the street.

Closed my eyes and saw a younger me—

barefoot, honest, incomplete.

---

[Chorus]

So I’ll sail out,

anchor down in the Bay of the Child,

where the water knows my quiet

and the sun forgives me wild.

I’ll breathe again,

only breathe until the tide

brings me back the man I buried

somewhere deep, somewhere inside.

---

[Verse 2]

She steps into my harbor uninvited,

storms the calm I try to keep.

Says she only needs a favor,

but my bones are sinking deep.

I want to run, I want to vanish,

swim away from all I’ve carried.

But I stay—God knows I stay—

even when my soul is harried.

---

[Pre-Chorus]

In a café corner hiding,

I whisper limits she won’t hear.

And the boy inside me flinches

every time she steps too near.

---

[Chorus]

So I’ll sail out,

anchor down in the Bay of the Child,

where the silence writes my story

and the dusk is undefiled.

I’ll sleep for days,

let the quiet rearrange

all the pieces life distorted,

let the wind undo the change.

---

[Bridge]

I am not the monster whispered,

not the mirror someone claimed.

I’m a tired heart unguarded,

I’m a man who can’t be named.

With my domes and drifting rhythms,

with my laughter, strange but true—

I’m Hernán, the boy who dreamed

that the ocean always knew.

---

[Final Chorus]

So let me go,

let me drift where I once grew,

where the waves remember softness

in a world that never knew.

I’ll breathe again,

only breathe until I find

every fragment I abandoned

coming home inside my mind.

I’ll breathe again…

I’ll breathe again
