[Verse 1]
Shattered glass reflections, my heart a mosaic,
Tears fall heavy, my spirit archaic.
They tried to snuff the flame, left me in the cold,
But I’m the phoenix rising, breaking the mold.
[Chorus]
The rite of passage is scars on your soul,
A survivor's crown forged from the coal.
Don’t let them dim your light, keep it ablaze,
Through the dark alleys, I navigate the maze.
[Verse 2]
Battle cries echo where silence once lived,
Bruises on my psyche, but I still give.
Cracked voices sing, a hymn of the lost,
Survival ain't free, I paid the cost.
[Chorus]
The rite of passage is scars on your soul,
A survivor's crown forged from the coal.
Don’t let them dim your light, keep it ablaze,
Through the dark alleys, I navigate the maze.
[Bridge]
They call it broken, I call it reborn,
A tapestry of pain where hope was torn.
Every shadow a lesson, every tear a prayer,
The light within me, no one can impair.
[Chorus]
The rite of passage is scars on your soul,
A survivor's crown forged from the coal.
Don’t let them dim your light, keep it ablaze,
Through the dark alleys, I navigate the maze.
