[Verse 1]
You said I’d never stand tall, never break the fall
A fading spark, a misfit, no flame at all
You wrote the ending early, sealed it in stone
But you can’t predict a pulse you’ve never known
I crawled through every setback, teeth clenched, no retreat
You cheered for my collapse, for my defeat
But every punch you threw became fuel for the climb
You shaped the war that I survived
[Pre-Chorus]
You spoke the verdict like it was holy sound
But I rebuilt myself from underground
[Chorus]
You thought I’d never make it
Thought I’d suffocate
Bet the world against me
Closed the gate
You thought I’d need a hero
Need someone to save
Now I am the rising
Not the grave
You said I’d never be enough
Said I’d never find my way
Now look at me now
Look at me now
I stayed
[Verse 2]
You wanted resignation, a broken hound
But I bit back harder than your voice was loud
You taught me nothing, but you built the stage
Where I performed my escape
I’m not your cautionary tale, not your regret
Not your abandoned silhouette
I’m the proof that your prophecy lied
A walking rewrite of the denied
[Pre-Chorus]
You spoke the verdict like it was holy sound
But I rebuilt myself from underground
[Chorus]
You thought I’d never make it
Thought I’d suffocate
Bet the world against me
Closed the gate
You thought I’d need a hero
Need someone to save
Now I am the rising
Not the grave
You said I’d never be enough
Said I’d never find my way
Now look at me now
Look at me now
I stayed
[Solo - EPIC GUITAR SOLO – 16 bars, fast, emotional, melodic bends, arena-sized energy)
(Harmonic screams from guitar, high notes climbing, ends with dive-bomb into breakdown]
[Breakdown]
[Drums halftime slam, guitars chugging under the solo’s final echo]
I WALKED THROUGH WHAT YOU FEARED
I SURVIVED WHAT YOU DENIED
[Final Chorus]
You thought I’d never make it
Now I stand awake
You thought I’d hit the bottom
Now I’m the quake
You said I’d never be enough
Said I’d never find my way
Now look at me now
Look at me now
I stayed
[Outro]
You wrote the end, I rewrote fate.
