Judgment

Yeah

I’m standing on the edge

Flames licking at my feet

Burning bridges behind me

Can’t accept defeat

Stories untold

Buried deep in the shadows

People judging from the sidelines

But they don’t know the battles

They see the smoke rise

Think they know the cause

But they don’t see the scars

The blood

The flaws

I’m on the edge of the fire

Breathing in the heat of my past

They think they know my desire

But they only see the blast

I walk through ash like a choir

Voices in my head sing back

I’m on the edge of the fire

And I’m never turning back

Every step I take forward

Ground cracks under heel

Old friends turn to echoes

Can’t decide what’s real

Got my name in their mouths like they wrote these scenes

But they weren’t in the room when I tore at the seams

They just point at the ruins

Call it self-made harm

They don’t know what it took just to raise this arm

If you stood in this blaze

For a minute

For a day

Would you throw your stones so fast

Would you still look away
