From the core

Intro – Bare, Haunting | Heartbeat Tempo]

(Yeah…)

(This is where I was made)

I’ve stood in the silence when no one stayed

Heard my own voice start to fade

Held the weight of a thousand goodbyes

Smiled through the slow collapse inside

I’ve prayed to the dark just to feel something real

Learned how to bleed without breaking the seal

Every night I was losing the fight

Still a spark stayed alive in the night

I don’t run from the hurt anymore

I’ve been shattered down to the core

From the core of my heart, from the depth of my soul

I was built from the pain they don’t see

I’ve been buried alive, but I crawled from the hole

Now the fire is a part of me

I’m still here — I’m not gone

I am more than what broke me before

From the scars, from the dark

I was forged — from the core

I’ve loved with a fear I would lose it all

Watched my heroes fall

I’ve carried the guilt, the shame, the weight

Of words I said too late

I’ve screamed at the sky with no reply

Still asked myself why I survived

But the cracks let the truth shine through

I became someone stronger than who I knew

Every tear carved a deeper line

Every fall taught me how to rise

From the core of my heart, from the depth of my soul

I was built from the pain they don’t see

I’ve been buried alive, but I crawled from the hole

Now the fire is a part of me

I’m still here — I’m not gone

I am more than what broke me before

From the scars, from the dark

I was forged — from the core

If I fall tonight

I’ll fall standing

If I lose the light

I’ll become it

I don’t need saving

I survived myself

And that’s something

No one else felt

(Rise…)

From the core of my heart, from the depth of my soul

I reclaimed every piece of me

I was lost, I was weak, I was shattered and cold

But the pain gave me clarity

I’m still here — I remain

I am proof I can’t be ignored

Through the fire, through the dark

I was forged — from the core

I’m not fearless…

I’m just still standing.

From the core.
