Let It Rise
Featured Video ▶️
Lyrics ✍️
Verse 1
Yesterday broke me in two
Tried to hold it in, but the waves came through
Every word I didn’t say
Sits heavy in the silence of today
Verse 2
It’s strange how talking sets me free
But alone with my mind, it swallows me
It’s more than missing—it’s her, it’s us
A dream that lived before it turned to dust
Chorus
But I won’t drown in what I feel
These tears—they teach, they help me heal
There’s meaning in this ache I hold
A quiet fire, not turning cold
Through the pain, I’ll find the skies
I’ll let it burn, then let it rise
Verse 3
I cried five times, maybe more
A soul like mine can’t shut the door
And though she flew, I understand
Still, I reach with an open hand
Verse 4
Fifty-four songs, each one a scar
A map of where the feelings are
Through music I can breathe again
Rewriting what I could not mend
Chorus
But I won’t drown in what I feel
These tears—they teach, they help me heal
There’s meaning in this ache I hold
A quiet fire, not turning cold
Through the pain, I’ll find the skies
I’ll let it burn, then let it rise
Bridge
This isn’t the end—it’s the edge of truth
Grief is love with nowhere to move
But in the stillness, I plant the seed
Of all I was, and all I’ll be
Final Chorus
I won’t drown in what I feel
These tears—they teach, they help me heal
There’s meaning in this ache I hold
A quiet fire, not turning cold
Through the pain, I’ll touch the skies
Let the hurt breathe—and let it rise

About the Artist 🎤
“My music is the crucible where pain transforms into purpose—where solitude becomes sacred ground for rebirth.”
Based in Brisbane, Australia, Doctor Shrink transforms psychological insight into musical medicine.
Produced by TheDataShrink record label.
This song was forged in the sacred fire of complete aloneness—when I finally stopped running from my emptiness and learned to let my pain breathe. It’s my tribute to the transformative power of solitude and to my children who deserve a father reborn from ashes.
The “let it rise” process honors the alchemy of suffering—not bypassing pain but transforming it into wisdom. Every tear becomes sacred when we stop fearing our solitude.
Clinical Insight:
This song operationalizes Solitude Integration Therapy through musical narrative. The progression from “broke me in two” to “let it rise” demonstrates emotional alchemy.
In my deepest aloneness, I discovered that grief is just love with nowhere to go. This song is my map through the wilderness of solitude—not as punishment but as sacred incubation.
The “quiet fire” metaphor embodies Resilient Core Self, showing how warmth survives even in isolation.
