Verse 1
There was a war behind my eyes
A quiet cage, a thin disguise
Smiling like I wasn’t torn
But my spirit felt weather-worn
Every thought a heavy chain
Every breath just numbing pain
Built a prison in my head
Where hope and courage slowly bled
Pre-Chorus
I was split in two — mind and soul
One losing faith, one losing control
Whispers saying, “Don’t you try”
But something in me wouldn’t die
Chorus
I was bound and broken, buried in the dark
Carrying the weight of a shattered heart
But the cracks let in the light somehow
And I’m rising, I’m standing now
From the ruins of who I’d been
I found my fire deep within
What once was chained is finally free
And healing made a warrior out of me
Verse 2
Silence screamed inside my chest
Restless nights, no place to rest
Fighting shadows I couldn’t name
Drowning slowly in the shame
But pain became my teacher’s hand
Drew new maps I didn’t plan
Every scar a truth revealed
Every wound began to heal
Pre-Chorus
Mind and soul began to mend
Pieces learning how to blend
The voice that said I couldn’t win
Turned to strength beneath my skin
Chorus
I was bound and broken, buried in the dark
Carrying the weight of a shattered heart
But the cracks let in the light somehow
And I’m rising, I’m standing now
From the ruins of who I’d been
I found my fire deep within
What once was chained is finally free
And healing made a warrior out of me
Bridge
I forgave the fear
I faced the pain
I danced in the thunder
I stood in the rain
I tore down the walls I built to survive
And found the pulse that kept me alive
I am not the chains I wore
I am so much more
Final Chorus (Stronger)
I was bound and broken, lost in the fight
But I turned my wounds into guiding light
Every fall carved strength in me
Every loss set my spirit free
Now my mind and soul align
In every scar, a sacred sign
I didn’t just survive the sea —
I came back stronger… I came back me. 🌿🔥
