Made from fire

Verse

I learned how to fold my anger small

Hide the thunder under skin

I learned how to lose in silence

So no one knew where I’d been

I memorized the sound of breaking

Called it “normal,” called it “home”

I grew up talking to shadows

Learning how to stand alone

Pre-Chorus

I didn’t fall from grace

I was never held

I just learned how to rise

Without a hand to help

Chorus

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

If there’s no path through the wreckage

I’ll carve one straight through the war

I will not fade like they told me

I was never meant to lose

I wasn’t built to be saved

I was built to break through

Verse

There’s a voice in my head like a judge

Reading sins I never chose

Every dream feels like evidence

Of a life I almost owed

I’ve stood one breath from the ending

Let the dark explain its case

But something feral kept fighting

Refusing to give up its place

Pre-Chorus

I don’t trust luck or prophecy

I trust the grind in my bones

I trust the weight of showing up

When I’m standing alone

Chorus

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

If there’s no path through the wreckage

I’ll carve one straight through the war

I will not fade like they told me

I was never meant to lose

I wasn’t built to be saved

I was built to break through

Verse

I wasn’t shaped by gentle hands

I was hammered into form

Every scar became a signal

Every failure, a storm

I don’t ask the world for mercy

I don’t kneel to what I fear

I became my own answer

When no one else appeared

Bridge

There is no finish line waiting

No crown laid out in gold

There’s just me in the fire

Becoming what I was told

Could never rise

Could never last

Could never carry the past

I didn’t escape the dark

I claimed it

Final Chorus

I will not wait for the ground to open

I will not beg for a door

If there’s no path through the wreckage

I’ll carve one straight through the war

I will not fade like they told me

I was never meant to lose

I wasn’t built to be saved

I was built to break through

Outro

Call me scarred

Call me reckless

Call me what you choose

I’m still standing in the fire

Doing what heroes do
