(Verse 1)
Cold sweat dripping in the dead of night
Demons dancing underneath the light
Every heartbeat felt like broken glass
Praying somehow this hell would pass
Empty bottles by the sink again
Trying hard just to feel something
Walls kept closing like a burial ground
No one heard me when I drowned
(Pre-Chorus)
I was fading into black
But something kept pulling me back
(Chorus)
I carried the weight of the world
On a spine already shattered
Every scar, every wound
Every “you don’t matter”
But I’m still standing here tonight
Middle fingers to the pain inside
You can try to drag me down
But I won’t stay underground
(Verse 2)
Faces blur and the days decay
Lost too many years to the gray
Every mirror showed a ghost
A man who hated himself the most
Then I heard a voice cut through
“Keep fighting — you’re not through”
So I clawed my way from the grave
One more breath was enough to save
(Pre-Chorus)
The fire came back to life
The moment I survived
(Chorus)
I carried the weight of the world
On a spine already shattered
Every scar, every wound
Every “you don’t matter”
But I’m still standing here tonight
Middle fingers to the pain inside
You can try to drag me down
But I won’t stay underground
(Breakdown)
I AM THE STORM
THAT WOULDN’T DIE
THE SCREAM INSIDE
THE REASON WHY
YOU CAN’T KILL
WHAT LEARNED TO BLEED
I BUILT MY STRENGTH
FROM MISERY
(Final Chorus)
I carried the weight of the world
But the weight no longer owns me
Every scar became armor
Every chain fell slowly
Now I stand beneath the flames
And I scream my fucking name
The darkness took its shot
But I’m everything it’s not
(Outro)
I survived…
I survived…
And that’s enough.
