[Verse 1]
Used to sleep with my phone face down
Praying your name wouldn’t light that glass
Reading old texts like holy vows
Then laughing at how fast they cracked
Hands in the sink, cold water
Heart in my mouth, slow torture
Your ghost in my hoodie, on my shoulder
But every tear made my eyes get bolder
[Pre-Chorus]
You left me in that room
Four walls, one boom in my chest
I carved my name in the gloom
Just to prove that I’m not dead yet
[Chorus]
I’m out of the black, out of the black
Clawed my way up, now I’m never going back
You broke me in half, now I’m steel, not glass
Yeah, I bled on the floor just to rise, just to rise
I’m out of the black
[Verse 2]
I remember that door slam, earth shake
Keys on the counter, clean break
You walked, and the silence got loud
Every clock in the house started counting me out
Now it’s old scars, new ink
Same soul, new brink
Pulled my pain from the pit like a chain
Now it swings when I walk, not a cage but a flame (woah)
[Pre-Chorus]
You left me in that room
Four walls, one boom in my chest
Turned the hurt into fuel
Every bruise into proof I’m blessed
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Yeah, I loved you, that part’s true
But I love me more than I miss you
Every crack in my chest lets the light shine through
Turn the volume up, let the dark hear the news
[growled backing]
I was buried
Now I’m breathing
I was begging
Now I’m leaving
[crescendo]
If you see me on your way back down
Remember who lit this battleground
[Chorus]
