[Verse 1]
Faded picture
Curled at the corner
Burned by the sun
You were laughing
I was already starting to run
Every promise
Tastes like rust on the tongue
Every echo
Says the damage is done
[Chorus]
If it hurts
It’s good
Let it cut
Let it crawl through the blood
I fall
I crawl
But I don’t stay down in the mud
Twist my bones
’til they learn how to stand where they stood
If it breaks me
Shapes me
It’s good
It’s good
[Verse 2]
Cracked religion
Hanging heavy off the back of my neck
Black horizon
But my feet keep finding the track
Every heartbreak
Like a hammer to the same old stone
Keep on hitting
’til the fault line turns into a throne
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Put my hands in the flame
Let it climb
Let it climb my veins
I won’t beg
I won’t pray
I was born in the ash
I stay
[voice rising]
All this ruin in my chest
Beats a war drum
Won’t confess
I am branded
I am scarred
I am still here
I am still hard
[Chorus]
