Verse 1
I’ve lied, I’ve cheated, I’ve stolen in the dark
Dragged my own soul through the wreckage and the sparks
I danced with the devil by the pale moonlight
Came out strong, swingin’ and winnin’ the fight
I’ve crawled through the dirt, through the blood, through the shame
Took every scar and carved it into my name
I’ve battled my demons in the dead of the night
Now I wear their bones like a crown in the light
Pre-Chorus
You can point your finger
You can spit your blame
But I’m the one still standin’
And I’m done feelin’ chained
Chorus
I’ve lied, I’ve cheated, I’ve stolen
I battled my demons, and I won the gold
I am the best that ever will be
The best there ever was, and the best there is now in me
No one can take me down
No one can bury me under the ground
Nothing will change what you’ve done to me
You can burn in my life
Burn in my life
Verse 2
You lit the match and smiled while I was goin’ under
Turned my world into a graveyard full of thunder
You thought the weight would break the bones beneath my skin
But all you really did was make the beast begin
Now I rise like a war drum beatin’ in your chest
Every wound you left behind just made me obsessed
I took the hate, made a weapon out of pain
Now I’m the storm, and you’re just drownin’ in the rain
Pre-Chorus
You can curse my shadow
You can scream my name
But I’m the fire left breathing
After all your gasoline
Chorus
I’ve lied, I’ve cheated, I’ve stolen
I battled my demons, and I won the gold
I am the best that ever will be
The best there ever was, and the best there is now in me
No one can take me down
No one can bury me under the ground
Nothing will change what you’ve done to me
You can burn in my life
Burn in my life
Bridge / Breakdown
I was broken
I was hollow
I was drowning in the fear you made me swallow
Now I’m loaded
Now I’m raging
Now I’m everything you feared I’d be becoming
You can’t stop me
You can’t chain me
You can’t kill what all your damage went and made me
I’m still breathing
Still alive
And your poison only taught me how to survive
Final Chorus
I’ve lied, I’ve cheated, I’ve stolen
I battled my demons, and I won the gold
I am the best that ever will be
The best there ever was, and the best there is now in me
No one can take me down
No one can bury me under the ground
Nothing will change what you’ve done to me
You can burn in my life
Burn in my life
Outro
Burn in my life
Feel the heat, feel the knives
Burn in my life
I survived, I survived
Burn in my life
You made the monster rise
Burn in my life
Now look me dead in the eyes
