Built From the Break

I wake up in the wreckage of another war

Scars on my skin, but they don’t hurt like before

You said I’d fall, said I’d fade into dust

But I’m still standing, fueled by broken trust

I hear the truth behind your smile

You wore me down, but just awhile

You fed me venom dressed as grace

Now I return it to your face

I was born in the fire, shaped by the flame

You tried to drown me, but I overcame

I’m not broken — I’m battle-made

Stronger now with every blade

I’ve changed for good, I won’t bend or shake

I’m built from the break

Your words were knives, but I turned them to steel

Now I’m the storm you swore I’d never feel

You pushed me down, thought I'd disappear

Now I’m the voice screaming in your ear

You stole my light, but I found the night

Lit it up and made it bright

Now I blaze, now I rise

With open wounds and sharpened eyes

I was born in the fire, shaped by the flame

You tried to drown me, but I overcame

I’m not broken — I’m battle-made

Stronger now with every blade

I’ve changed for good, I won’t bend or shake

I’m built from the break

Ashes to embers, I rise again

This time, I fight without the chain

Your hold was weak — I watched it fall

Now I don’t need you at all

I was born in the fire, shaped by the flame

You tried to bury me, but I remain

I’m not broken — I’m battle-made

Fuelled by every choice you weighed

I’ve changed for good, I won’t bend or shake

I’m built from the break
