Lyrics
[Intro — Slow Grind, Dirty Slide Guitar]
Yeah, the shine wore off, the pain stayed true,
Every scar’s a map of what I been through.
You can call it broken, I call it proof,
Ain’t no heaven without a little abuse.
⸻
[Verse 1 — The Wear of Time]
I’ve been patched, bent, kicked in the teeth,
Loved too hard and forgot how to breathe.
She left her mark, but I left a stain,
Now I wear my damage like a goddamn chain.
⸻
[Chorus — The Creed of the Damaged]
You can’t shine without rust and ruin,
Can’t live right without losin’.
Yeah, I crawled through fire and called it faith,
Built my soul outta what I couldn’t save.
I don’t need fixing, I ain’t human—
I’m steel and smoke, rust and ruin.
⸻
[Verse 2 — The Survival Gospel]
They say scars fade, they don’t know mine,
They’re carved deep like scripture in grime.
Every lie I told had a holy ring,
Every heartbreak taught my voice to sing.
⸻
[Bridge — Reflection with Teeth]
I’m done begging mercy from ghosts,
I made peace with the pain I toast.
You can polish a saint, but he still won’t gleam,
I’m the sinner that learned how to dream.
⸻
[Final Chorus — The Crown of Scars]
You can’t shine without rust and ruin,
Can’t find truth without bruisin’.
Yeah, I crawled through fire and called it grace,
Built my church in a godless place.
I don’t bleed silver, I bleed human—
Crawlback’s creed: rust and ruin.
⸻
[Outro — Low, Fading Growl]
So raise your glass to what don’t mend,
To the cracks that never bend.
If the world don’t love me, that’s my tune—
Long live the rust, the ruin, and the truth.
