break through

Verse

I learned how to fold my anger small

Hide the thunder under skin

I learned how to lose in silence

So no one knew where I’d been

I memorized the sound of breaking

Called it “normal,” called it “home”

I grew up talking to shadows

Learning how to stand alone

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t fall from grace

I was never held

I just learned how to rise

Without a hand to help

Chorus

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

If there’s no path through the wreckage

I’ll carve one straight through the war

I will not fade like they told me

I was never meant to lose

I wasn’t built to be saved

I was built to break through

(built to break through)

Verse

There’s a voice in my head like a judge

Reading sins I never chose

Every dream feels like evidence

Of a life I almost owed

I’ve stood one breath from the ending

Let the dark explain its case

But something feral kept fighting

Refusing to give up its place

Pre-Chorus

I don’t trust luck or prophecy

I trust the grind in my bones

I trust the weight of showing up

When I’m standing alone

Chorus

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

If there’s no path through the wreckage

I’ll carve one straight through the war

I will not fade like they told me

I was never meant to lose

I wasn’t built to be saved

I was built to break through

built to break through)

(break through)

I was built to break through

Verse

I wasn’t shaped by gentle hands

I was hammered into form

Every scar became a signal

Every failure, a storm

I don’t ask the world for mercy

I don’t kneel to what I fear

I became my own answer

When no one else appeared

Bridge

There is no finish line waiting

No crown laid out in gold

There’s just me in the fire

Becoming what I was told

Could never rise

Could never last

Could never carry the past

I didn’t escape the dark

I claimed it

Final Chorus

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

If there’s no path through the wreckage

I’ll carve one straight through the war

I will not fade like they told me

I was never meant to lose

I wasn’t built to be saved

I was built to break through

Outro

Call me scarred

Call me reckless

Call me what you choose

I’m still standing

And im doing what heroes do

What heroes do

im doing what heroes do
