[Verse 1]
Face down
Teeth full of dirt
I taste every failure
Every old hurt
Hands shake
Heart like a drum
My shadow keeps laughing
Asking what I've become
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear them hissing
"Stay where you fell"
But I'm still breathing
I'm not your shell
[Chorus]
I get knocked down
I crawl upright
Blood in my mouth but I still bite
You can drag me through the flood
I'll rise with my fists from the mud
I'm losing ground
I feel that sting
But I won't bow to anything
I break
I bruise
I'm stained in rust
I fall
Get up
Get up
Or turn to dust
[Verse 2]
Scars talk
Louder than friends
They say
"You're done"
They say
"This ends"
Cold floor
Back to the wall
But I won't be a ghost
In my own skull
[Pre-Chorus]
They circle closer
Chanting my name
But I'm not giving
Them all this pain
[Chorus]
I get knocked down
I crawl upright
Blood in my mouth but I still bite
You can drag me through the flood
I'll rise with my fists from the mud
I'm losing ground
I feel that sting
But I won't bow to anything
I break
I bruise
I'm stained in rust
I fall
Get up
Get up
Or turn to dust
[Bridge]
(yeah)
If this is hell
I'll build a throne from every failed attempt
If this is war
I'll wear the dents like holy ornament
If I am lost
I'll carve a map into my shaking chest
If I collapse
I'll hit the ground like I'm learning to rest
[Chorus]
I get knocked down
I crawl upright
Blood in my mouth but I still bite
You can drag me through the flood
I'll rise with my fists from the mud
I'm losing ground
I feel that sting
But I won't bow to anything
I break
I bruise
I burn this crust
I fall
Get up
Get up
I fall
Get up
Get up
From dust to dust
