[Intro]
Just another kid from the bottom,
Dropped into a world already on fire.
Had to learn how to stand
Before I ever learned desire.
From soft beginnings to a hardened frame,
Every lesson carved a mark,
Every promise came with weather,
Every answer found me in the dark.
I wore the silence like a jacket,
Kept my hands beneath the rain.
If the ground refused to hold me,
I would build my balance from the pain.
