Born from nothing

Intro (whisper / breathy)

Eight years old… concrete bed…

Hunger talking in my head…

Under Arizona stars so cold

That’s where I learned to not be told.

⸻

Verse 1

Mama chasing ghosts again

Powder dreams and medicine

Cupboards hollow, silence loud

Childhood buried in a cloud

Dumpster diving, dinner plans

Little siblings, little hands

I tied their shoes, I dried their tears

I swallowed down my own fears

⸻

Pre-Chorus

No cartoons, no lullabies

Just survival in my eyes

⸻

Chorus

I was born from nothing, raised in flame

Every scar became my name

From the wreckage, from the storm

I’m the proof you can transform

⸻

Verse 2

Uncle’s garage, rusted air

Oil and shadows everywhere

Metal walls and desert night

Concrete cold and buzzing light

Counting headlights passing by

Like they might come save my life

But nobody came — I learned it then

You survive or you don’t again

⸻

Pre-Chorus

Hunger carved me into steel

Pain was all I learned to feel

⸻

Chorus

I was born from nothing, dirt and dust

Built from hurt and broken trust

No soft hands, no safe norm

I’m a heart that shaped the storm

⸻

Bridge (soft, emotional)

I was sister, I was shield

I was armor I could wield

Just a kid they never saw

Holding life inside my jaw

⸻

Breakdown (shouted / gritty)

NO SAVIOR

NO GUIDE

JUST SURVIVE

⸻

Final Chorus (big, triumphant)

Yeah I was born from nothing — hear me now

Still standing, still somehow

From the ashes I transform

You can’t break what survived the storm

⸻

Outro (soft / fading)

They saw a broken child…

I became a legend.
