[Verse 1]
The devil knocked, left ashes on my front porch,
Tried to snatch my light, but I lit a new torch.
Heart heavy, broke the levee, flooded with regret,
But drowning taught me how to swim, I ain’t forget.
Shadows creeping, whispering my name,
Turned their curses into verses, flipped the game.
A phoenix with the feathers dipped in gold flames,
Pain’s the teacher, life’ll never be the same.
[Chorus]
Grateful to the devil, tried to take my life,
Pushed me to the edge, now I’m reaching heights.
Found the universe within, no more strife,
Grateful to the devil, gave me back my light.
[Verse 2]
Mirror cracked, but I saw my soul clearer,
Fought the war inside, now the love’s nearer.
Skeletons dancing, closets ain’t got no locks,
Turned the hauntings into rhythms, let the beat knock.
Hurt sculpted me, chiseled out the real,
Bruises became colors on the canvas I feel.
Lost myself to find myself, ironic twist,
Now I love me, every scar, every fist.
[Pre-Chorus]
Every fall was a step to the top,
Every tear was a jewel in the drop.
