I grew up in a house where the silence got loud
Broken walls, broken hearts, nobody proud
Learned how to smile while I drowned inside
Kept my pain hidden where the shadows hide
Phone calls late, bad news every week
Tried to stay strong when I felt too weak
Friends disappeared like smoke in the rain
And every goodbye carved another name
I carried the weight like chains on my chest
Told everybody that I’m doing my best
But nights got cold when the world went dark
And loneliness left permanent scars
I come from the ashes of a life gone wrong
Turned all my tears into these songs
Every memory burns like a city in flames
Still hear the ghosts when they call my name
I was fighting storms nobody could see
Trying to save what was left of me
Now every scar is a part of my past
A broken soul still learning to last
There were days I went ghost, disappeared from the world
Too much pressure in my head, pain unfurled
Appointments, voices, anxiety nights
Trying to survive invisible fights
My best friend vanished, my heart lost track
Spent so much time wishing they’d come back
And love felt distant through all the stress
Hurting the people I loved the best
Rain on the rooftop, tears in my eyes
Looking at the city under blackened skies
Wondering if anybody understood
How hard I fought just to feel okay again
I kept my rage behind tired eyes
Told little white lies just to survive
But every road led me back to pain
Running in circles through thunder and rain
I come from the ashes of a life gone wrong
Turned all my tears into these songs
Every memory burns like a city in flames
Still hear the ghosts when they call my name
I was fighting storms nobody could see
Trying to save what was left of me
Now every scar is a part of my past
A broken soul still learning to last
If you listen close to the midnight air
You can hear the boy who was never repaired
Still standing alone in the pouring rain
Trying to outrun all the hurt and pain
But maybe one day the skies will clear
Maybe the silence will disappear
And all the pieces I lost back then
Will finally find their way home again
I come from the ashes but I’m still alive
Somehow I made it through every night
Though the darkness tried to pull me below
There’s still a fire inside my soul
And even if my past still bleeds
I’ll keep fighting these memories
Cause every scar reminds me at last
I survived the weight of my past.
