Scarred Bloom

Verse 1
I’ve stitched my skin with the same old thread,
Worn thin from nights I should’ve bled.
The mirror cracks, but I still look through,
Searching for someone who made it, too.

Pre-Chorus
Every scar hums like a song I know,
Soft at first, then it starts to grow.
I’ve fallen enough to learn the ground,
Can feel like home when no one’s around.

Chorus
But I’m still here — trembling, breathing,
Held together by the weight of my meaning.
I break, I bend, I rise, I fall,
And somehow, I keep standing through it all.

Verse 2
The rain still tastes like yesterday,
When I swore I’d wash the hurt away.
But pain has roots that don’t let go,
It blooms where only I can know.

Pre-Chorus
Every fall carves a softer place,
To land beneath the tears I face.
And even when I drown in doubt,
There’s a voice inside that claws me out.

Chorus (repeat / stronger)
But I’m still here — trembling, breathing,
Held together by the weight of my meaning.
I break, I bend, I rise, I fall,
And somehow, I keep standing through it all.

Bridge
Maybe survival’s not a crown to wear,
But a whisper that says, “you’re still there.”
Maybe broken is the only way
To keep the light from fading away.

Final Chorus (softer at first, then soaring)
I’m still here — trembling, breathing,
A little more lost, a little more believing.
I break, I bend, I rise, I fall,
And still — I keep standing through it all.
