[Verse 1]
Cut teeth on rust and rain
Black boots on a cracked church floor
Every halo here is stained
Every prayer sounds like a war
Mama said “boy, don’t break”
I just learned how to break things more
Turn pain into armor plates
Turn shame into a sharpened jaw (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been choking on the doubt they fed me
Every scar on my skin feels ready
If the world wanna burn, then let it
I’ll be dancing in the smoke already (hey)
[Chorus]
I was made in the fire, baptized in the crash
Turn my wounds into wires, let the thunder clash
If the sky falls down, I’ma wear that crown of glass
I’m alive in the ashes, alive in the ashes
I was raised in the riot, in the broken glass
Hear my name when it’s quiet, like a distant blast
If the sky falls down, I’ma wear that crown of glass
I’m alive in the ashes, alive in the ashes (oh)
[Verse 2]
Gold teeth, chipped on stone
Talk tough ‘cause I tasted blood
Heart cold like a split headstone
But it beats like a battle drum
Every “never” that they threw
Now it sticks to my ribs like fuel
I’m the echo that they can’t undo
I’m the sin that outlived their rules
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been choking on the doubt they fed me
Every scar on my skin feels ready
If the world wanna burn, then let it
I’ll be dancing in the smoke already (yeah)
[Chorus]
I was made in the fire, baptized in the crash
Turn my wounds into wires, let the thunder clash
If the sky falls down, I’ma wear that crown of glass
I’m alive in the ashes, alive in the ashes
I was raised in the riot, in the broken glass
Hear my name when it’s quiet, like a distant blast
If the sky falls down, I’ma wear that crown of glass
I’m alive in the ashes, alive in the ashes (hey)
[Bridge]
Let the sky cave in
Let the ground split open
I’ll still stand, still grin
On the edge, half broken
Let the sky cave in
I’ve been waiting, hoping
For a war I can win
With the hell I’m holding
[Chorus]
I was made in the fire, baptized in the crash
Turn my wounds into wires, let the thunder clash
If the sky falls down, I’ma wear that crown of glass
I’m alive in the ashes, alive in the ashes
I was raised in the riot, in the broken glass
Hear my name when it’s quiet, like a distant blast
If the sky falls down, I’ma wear that crown of glass
I’m alive in the ashes, alive in the ashes
