[Verse]
Mind tangled, knots in the thread, unravel slow
Old thoughts sticky, syrupy, holding the flow
Brick walls in the brain, I stack ‘em, then grow
Terror in the mirror, but it’s a show I know
[Bridge]
Steps on the ladder, shaky but they sturdy
Eyes squint forward, vision a bit blurry
Fall enough times, bruise turns to a story
Learning to hold pain, now that’s glory
[Chorus]
Negativity sharp, like a blade in the sheath
Cut me down, but I stitch up underneath
Lessons in the shadow, the weight and the grief
Breaking through the dark, yeah, I got belief
[Verse 2]
Old patterns, graffiti sprayed on every wall
Spraying new designs, remixing the scroll
Drag the baggage, then I learn how to haul
Chains to wings, baby, I’m learning it all
[Bridge]
Critic’s voice, echo loud, static in my ears
Every "no" from my past, fuel for new gears
Turn crutches to machines, grinding through fears
Momentum builds up, breaking through jeers
[Chorus]
Negativity sharp, like a blade in the sheath
Cut me down, but I stitch up underneath
Lessons in the shadow, the weight and the grief
Breaking through the dark, yeah, I got belief
