[Verse 1]
Cracked lips
Rust on my tongue
Every promise tasted
Like blood in my lungs
Concrete prayers
Carved into my skin
Every door slammed shut
I kicked my way in (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
They said “crawl”
I learned to run
Through broken glass
Through loaded guns
[Chorus]
I’ve got teeth like nails
I bite
I claw
I fail
Then I rise
I rise again
You can throw me to the wolves
I train ‘em
World so cold it burns
I choke
I twist
I turn
But I breathe
I breathe again
You can bury me in hell
I bloom there
[Verse 2]
Black rain
Soaks through my bones
Turned every grave they gave me
Into a throne
Scars talk back
Whisper “one more try”
Every time they cut me open
I came back alive (oh)
[Pre-Chorus]
They said “break”
I learned to bend
Shape the pain
Make it my friend
[Chorus]
I’ve got teeth like nails
I bite
I claw
I fail
Then I rise
I rise again
You can throw me to the wolves
I train ‘em
World so cold it burns
I choke
I twist
I turn
But I breathe
I breathe again
You can bury me in hell
I bloom there
[Bridge]
I am rust
I am fire
I’m the oath
You can’t retire
I am drought
I am rain
I’m the echo
In your veins (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’ve got teeth like nails
I bite
I claw
I fail
Then I rise
I rise again
You can throw me to the wolves
I train ‘em
World so cold it burns
I choke
I twist
I turn
But I breathe
I breathe again
You can bury me in hell
I bloom there (yeah)
You can bury me in hell—
I bloom there
