[Verse 1]
I wake with ash in my mouth
A mirror split down the seam
I count the cracks in my hands
Like they can tell me what I mean
The floorboards groan under me
The walls keep pressing in
I wear this grief like a coat
Too torn to call it skin
[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall, let me fall through
If I burn, let it make room
There's a sound under my ribs
Like a door with no more room
[Chorus]
I am the break
I am the break
But I still get up
But I still get up
Call my name
Call my name
When the dark comes close
I turn the knife away
[Verse 2]
I fed the rage in my chest
Gave it a place to stay
It learned my mother’s old tears
And turned them black and gray
I drove that heat through the night
With both hands on the wheel
But every mile I chased the spark
It only taught me what is real
[Pre-Chorus]
If I fall, let me fall through
If I burn, let it make room
There's a sound under my ribs
Like a door with no more room
[Chorus]
I am the break
I am the break
But I still get up
But I still get up
Call my name
Call my name
When the dark comes close
I turn the knife away
[Bridge]
I hit the ground
And heard the truth
That all my scars
Could still be used
So take this ruin
Take this war
I won't be numb
I won't be yours
[Final Chorus]
I am the break
I am the break
But I still get up
But I still get up
Call my name
Call my name
From the wreck I crawl
With a light in my veins
I am the break
I am the break
And I won't go down
I won't go down
