Verse 1
Every morning starts with another war,
Another voice saying, “You don’t matter anymore.”
I lace my boots with hands that shake,
Smiling through every crack I cannot fake.
These shadows know my every scar,
They wear my face, they know my heart.
They whisper lies until they sound like truth,
Trying to bury every ounce of hope I ever knew.
Pre-Chorus
But I’m still breathing…
Even when my soul feels numb.
If my heart still beats beneath the weight,
Then my fight is far from done.
Chorus
I will carry the fire through the darkest nights,
Even when I can’t believe the light is mine.
These demons know my name—
But they don’t own my life.
I’ll bleed, I’ll break, I’ll crawl if I survive,
Because resilience isn’t never falling down—
It’s standing one more time.
Maybe someday I’ll believe
That this heart was always worthy of love.
Verse 2
The mirror paints a stranger’s eyes,
A man convinced he’s earned goodbye.
Building walls no one can climb,
Afraid they’ll leave if they see what’s inside.
Every failure echoes like a funeral bell,
Every memory becomes another private hell.
Still I find another reason not to let go,
Even when I forget everything I know.
Pre-Breakdown
I am more than every voice
That taught me I was made to lose.
I am more than every wound
That tried to write my truth.
Breakdown
You can drag me through the ashes—
I’ll become the flame.
You can fill my lungs with silence—
I’ll still scream my name.
I refuse…
To surrender to the hatred in my head.
I refuse…
To let fear decide if I deserve to be loved.
Every scar is proof
That I survived another war.
And I’m still here.
Bridge
Maybe healing isn’t waking up unbroken.
Maybe courage is admitting that I’m hurting.
Maybe strength is choosing hope
When hopelessness feels easier.
Maybe love begins
The moment I stop believing
I have to earn it.
Final Chorus
I will carry the fire through the endless rain,
Learning every wound doesn’t define my name.
The darkness may surround me—
But it won’t decide my fate.
I’ll keep choosing life
Even on the days I barely stand.
Because every breath I take
Is another promise that I haven’t quit yet.
I am not my fear.
I am not my shame.
I am not the lies
That echo through my veins.
If love finds me tomorrow,
I’ll try not to run away.
And if it takes a lifetime…
I’ll keep becoming
The man who believes
He was worthy all along.
Outro (Soft, emotional clean vocals)
The battle never made me less human.
The scars never made me less worthy.
And even when I can’t see hope…
I’ll carry the fire
Until I do.
VAYNE
