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.
