[Verse 1]
Count scars
Like the days on the wall
Every crack in the plaster
Knows how hard I fell
Cold floor
Face pressed to the year I lost
Breathing in the dust of
Every broken promise I crossed
[Chorus]
I was buried in that winter
But I’m stronger than this storm
Yeah
The fire burned me bitter
Now I’m walking through it warm
You can bend me
You can break me
Till I’m twisted out of form
But I rise
I rise
I rise
Stronger than this storm (hey!)
[Verse 2]
Black cloud
Hung low over every plan
Every door that I opened
Turned to rust in my hand
But I learned
How to sharpen all this pain
Turn the shaking in my fingers
To a blade in my veins
[Chorus]
I was buried in that winter
But I’m stronger than this storm
Yeah
The fire burned me bitter
Now I’m walking through it warm
You can bend me
You can break me
Till I’m twisted out of form
But I rise
I rise
I rise
Stronger than this storm
[Bridge]
You tried to keep me crawling
Face down
Heart numb
But listen to these footsteps
(Here I come, here I come)
Every setback
Ammunition
Every breakdown
New ignition
Hear the crack of my decision
I refuse your definition
[Chorus]
I was buried in that winter
But I’m stronger than this storm
Yeah
The fire burned me bitter
Now I’m walking through it warm
You can bend me
You can break me
Till I’m twisted out of form
But I rise
I rise
I rise
Stronger than this storm
