**Verse 1:**
In the shadows, I was lost,
Chasing highs, counting the cost.
Whispers calling, pulling me down,
In a haze, I wore a crown.
**Pre-Chorus:**
But the nights grew colder, the walls closed in,
A battle raged, I was drowning again.
Thought I was flying, but I was chained,
In this dark game, nothing but pain.
**Chorus:**
But I’ll rise from the ashes, break these chains,
Through the fire and the heartache, I’ll find my way.
With every scar, I’ll wear my truth,
I’m reclaiming my heart, I’m breaking through.
**Verse 2:**
Empty bottles, shattered dreams,
Lost in a world that ripped at the seams.
But a flicker of hope ignited my soul,
In the depths of despair, I found my goal.
**Pre-Chorus:**
With every tear, I shed the past,
No more running, I’m free at last.
Fighting the demons, I’m taking a stand,
I’ll rewrite my story, I’ll take back my hand.
**Chorus:**
And I’ll rise from the ashes, break these chains,
Through the fire and the heartache, I’ll find my way.
With every scar, I’ll wear my truth,
I’m reclaiming my heart, I’m breaking through.

**Bridge:**
I see the light, it’s shining bright,
No more shadows, I’ll face the fight.
With every step, I’m stronger now,
I’ll lift my voice, I’ll take my vow.
**Chorus:**
And I’ll rise from the ashes, break these chains,
Through the fire and the heartache, I’ll find my way.
With every scar, I’ll wear my truth,
I’m reclaiming my heart, I’m breaking through.
**Outro:**
So here I stand, unafraid to be,
A warrior forged from my history.
No more chains, I’ll dance in the rain,
I’ve conquered the darkness, embraced the pain.
I’ll rise, ILL RIIIIIIISE, RISE AGAIN.
