[Verse 1]
I learned the shape of hurt
By the way it held my name
Cold hands on my throat
Still I didn't break the chain
I wore the bruise like proof
That I could take the blow
Every door they slammed
Built a fire in my bones
[Pre-Chorus]
I was bent, not gone
I was buried, not done
I kept one small spark
Till it turned to the sun
[Chorus]
I rise, I rise
From the wreckage
I rise, I rise
Through the static
You tried to bury me deep
But I'm still breathing
I rise, I rise
Harder than the damage
[Verse 2]
They threw me to the floor
Thought I'd stay there in the dust
But I fed on the fall
Made a weapon out of rust
Every scar on my skin
Keeps a count of what I beat
Now my footsteps hit hard
Like a warning in the street
[Pre-Chorus]
I was bent, not gone
I was buried, not done
I kept one small spark
Till it turned to the sun
[Chorus]
I rise, I rise
From the wreckage
I rise, I rise
Through the static
You tried to bury me deep
But I'm still breathing
I rise, I rise
Harder than the damage
[Bridge]
Look at me now
Still standing in the ruins
Look at me now
I turned the pain to fuel in my blood
All the nights you left me shaking
All the truth you tried to smother
I made a crown from the broken
And I wore it like thunder
[Chorus]
I rise, I rise
From the wreckage
I rise, I rise
Through the static
You tried to bury me deep
But I'm still breathing
I rise, I rise
Harder than the damage
[Outro]
I rise
(I rise)
I rise
(Harder than the damage)
I rise
