[Intro]
[Soft guitar fingerpicking
Distant violin swells]
[Verse 1]
Cold room
Clock stuck at three
Cracks in the ceiling
Staring back at me
I taste the past
Like rust in my teeth
Every wrong word
Still cutting underneath
[Verse 2]
Hands shake
But they’re not the same
Scars draw a map
Of how I left that shame
I’m breathing deep
In this ruined skin
Thought I was poison
Turns out I’m the cure within
[Chorus]
There’s venom inside
But I’m winning
I’m stronger
Better
I’m still living my life (my life)
Let it burn my throat
I won’t hide
I drink my demons
Till they’re dying in the light
Venom inside
But I’m winning
I’m stronger
Better
I’m still living my life
[Verse 3]
You said I’d break
At the smallest storm
But I walked through hell
Till the fire felt warm
Now every doubt
Is a voice gone hoarse
I ride that rage
Like a dark
Wild horse
[Chorus]
There’s venom inside
But I’m winning
I’m stronger
Better
I’m still living my life (still breathing)
Let it burn my throat
I won’t hide
I drink my demons
Till they’re bleeding out tonight
Venom inside
But I’m winning
I’m stronger
Better
I’m still living my life (hey!)
[Bridge]
You tried to drown me
In your black tide
But I grew gills
On the underside
You called me broken
Called me blind
But I see everything
I won’t rewind (won’t rewind)
[Chorus]
There’s venom inside
But I’m winning
I’m stronger
Better
I’m still living my life (my life)
Let it burn my throat
I won’t hide
I drink my demons
Till they’re dying in the light
Venom inside
But I’m winning
I’m stronger
Better
I’m still living my life
[Outro]
[Guitar rings out
Violin holds a high
Trembling note that slowly fades]
