[Verse 1]
I wake with the weight
Of a name I hate
Mirror full of knives
Cutting up my face
Every old mistake
Runs in my veins
I built my own cage
Then learned the chains
[Pre-Chorus]
But I still stand
On shaking ground
I hear that dark
Try drag me down
I taste the blood
Of biting back
Still got a fire
In my chest
[Chorus]
I am not your wound
I am not your lie
I will burn through the bruise
I will learn to survive
Call me broken, call me cold
I still rise, I still rise
I am not your wound
I am not your lie
(I still rise)
[Verse 2]
I wore my shame
Like a second skin
Heard my own thoughts
Telling me to quit
But every scar
Is a line I crossed
Every night I lost
Still left me here, not gone
[Pre-Chorus]
So let the storm
Hit hard again
I know the shape
Of hell within
I found the match
Inside the wreck
And I refuse
To kneel to that
[Chorus]
I am not your wound
I am not your lie
I will burn through the bruise
I will learn to survive
Call me broken, call me cold
I still rise, I still rise
I am not your wound
I am not your lie
(I still rise)
[Bridge]
When the black returns
And it claws my throat
I name the fear
I name the ghost
I won't feed it
I won't obey
I am the hand
That pulls away
[Final Chorus]
I am not your wound
I am not your lie
I will burn through the bruise
I will learn to survive
Call me broken, call me cold
I still rise, I still rise
I am not your wound
I am not your lie
(I still rise)
(I still rise)
