Verse 1
You found me where the light ran thin
where hope was quiet, wearing skin
I let you in like a slow decay
sweet as rot, you chose to stay
I bent like branches in your storm
mistook your chaos for a form
of love that only takes and takes
and calls it truth while something breaks
Pre-Chorus
I swallowed every warning sign
just to say that you were mine
Chorus
You were my first wound, my first war
the kind that leaves you wanting more
I bled in silence, learned to breathe
with shattered lungs and buried grief
Now I rise from what you burned in me
ashes don’t ask for mercy
Verse 2
Your voice still echoes in my bones
like distant drums, like falling stones
but I don’t tremble like before
I’ve learned the shape of every scar
I let the darkness take its toll
it carved a spine into my soul
no longer reaching for your hand
I stand alone—and I still stand
Pre-Chorus
You taught me how to disappear
I taught myself to reappear
Chorus
You were my first wound, my first war
the kind that leaves you wanting more
I broke in ways I couldn’t show
grew roots in places dark and low
Now I rise from what you made me be
ashes don’t ask for mercy
Bridge
I don’t forgive you—I outgrew
the version of me tied to you
You were a fire without a flame
just smoke that whispered through my name
Final Chorus
You were my first wound, not my last
just something buried in my past
Every fracture, every scar
turned me into something hard
Now I stand where you can’t reach
I am ruin. I am peace.
Outro
No light, no savior, no release—
I became my own ending piece
Viren
