[Verse]
Broken mirrors on the floor loud cracks echo
Shards of stories whispered below my boots
A past I used to curse under the bitter moon
Now gleams like treasure buried in dirt
[Verse 2]
Storm clouds used to drown me cold and cruel
Turned to paint dripping on the canvas of my soul
Thunder's scream taught me to sing sharp and raw
Wounds taught me life's worth bleeding for
[Chorus]
I learned through the fire through the ash on my skin
Every scar tells the tale of where I've been
If I hadn't crawled I wouldn’t know how to run
Now I taste life’s edge beneath this burning sun
[Verse 3]
Wore chains like weights 'til I danced them loose
Night turns and twists before it blesses with truth
I bent I broke I stitched the pieces to fit
Rebuilt a temple brick by aching brick
[Bridge]
Faces I feared now smile in the shadow
Ghosts turned guides in the pathways I follow
I wouldn't know the light if I hadn’t met the dark
Each jagged piece shaped this pulsing heart
[Chorus]
I learned through the fire through the ash on my skin
Every scar tells the tale of where I've been
If I hadn't crawled I wouldn’t know how to run
Now I taste life’s edge beneath this burning sun
