[Verse 1]
Venom on your tongue
Cut me just for fun
You called it twisted love
I called it being young
Suffer in your shadow
Every “stay” felt hollow
You wrapped me up in doubt
Like silver
Shining shackles
[Chorus]
You gave me venom
Gave me chains
I turned that poison into flames
Out of the ruins
Out of the lies
I choose love and I rise
I rise
You tried to bury me in pain
I bloom like flowers through the rain
Out of the ashes in your eyes
I find love and I rise
I rise (yeah)
[Verse 2]
You liked me on my knees
Begging you to see me
But I’m done chasing ghosts
In beds of broken dreams
Cut the rope
I’m breathing
Feel my heartbeat speeding
Every scar you left
Spells out “I’m still here”
[Chorus]
You gave me venom
Gave me chains
I turned that poison into flames
Out of the ruins
Out of the lies
I choose love and I rise
I rise
You tried to bury me in pain
I bloom like flowers through the rain
Out of the ashes in your eyes
I find love and I rise
I rise (oh)
[Bridge]
I’m not your martyr
Not your mirror
You fade smaller
I grow clearer
Every step away from you
Feels like sunlight breaking through
[Chorus]
You gave me venom
Gave me chains
I turned that poison into flames
Out of the ruins
Out of the lies
I choose love and I rise
I rise
You tried to bury me in pain
I bloom like flowers through the rain
Out of the ashes in your eyes
I find love and I rise
I rise (I rise)
