[Verse]
Shadows in my mind, they were heavy as steel
Pain in my chest, thought I’d never heal
Crawling through the dark, hands raw from the grind
Bruises on my soul, but they sharpened my mind
Tears on the pavement, glint under the moon
Every scar’s a battle cry, a brand-new tune
Fell a hundred times, but I rose like a tide
Now I wear my flaws, can't run, can't hide
[Chorus]
Learning all the misery, it built me piece by piece
Every shattered moment forged a masterpiece
The best thing for me, yeah, the pain set me free
Now I’m the best version of who I’m meant to be
[Verse 2]
Heart like a furnace, it burned through the frost
Found gold in the ashes of the battles I lost
Lessons hit hard, like a hammer to glass
But I’m shaping my future, not stuck in the past
Wounds turned to wisdom, I’m armored in grit
Carved from the chaos, I was born to persist
Taught by the struggle, I’m a student of strife
Turned misery’s knife into a weapon for life
[Bridge]
I’m climbing higher, every fall was a rung
Bitterness melted on the tip of my tongue
Echoes of despair now fuel my roar
I’m kicking down the gates, can’t be ignored
