[Verse 1]
Ink on the page
My name bleeds through the spine
Born with nothing
Still I’m crossing every line
Hand on the cover
It’s shaking like my breath
They said I’m hopeless
So I swear I’ll be obsessed
[Pre-Chorus]
Cut through the doubt, hear it tear
Every cruel word in the air
All of the laughs in my head
I turn them into a prayer
[Chorus]
I got a grimoire in my chest
Pages burning through the flesh (hey!)
Every scar, every curse
Gonna flip it to a verse
From the gutter to the crest
I’m the failure that won’t rest
If the whole world calls me less
I’ll still scream, “I’m gonna be the best!”
[Verse 2]
Black threads, torn cloak
Boots muddy from the road
Friends at my shoulder
Sharing armor made of jokes
If I fall, I fall loud
Teeth cracked on the ground
But I rise, same eyes
With a different kind of sound (woah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Fear in my lungs turns to steam
Blowing holes through every dream
They locked the gates in my face
Watch me tear out every seam
[Chorus]
I got a grimoire in my chest
Pages burning through the flesh (yeah!)
Every scar, every curse
Gonna flip it to a verse
From the gutter to the crest
I’m the failure that won’t rest
If the whole world calls me less
I’ll still scream, “I’m gonna be the best!”
[Bridge]
If I break
Let me break like a star
Shatter dark
Leave a trail on your heart
If I lose
Let me lose all my fear
I’ll trade my doubt
For another frontier (oh)
[Chorus]
I got a grimoire in my chest
Pages burning through the flesh
Every scar, every curse
Gonna flip it to a verse
From the gutter to the crest
I’m the failure that won’t rest
If the whole world calls me less
I’ll still scream, “I’m gonna be the best!”
[Outro]
Ink on my hands
Ash in my breath
Call me powerless
Watch me rewrite it to death
