[Verse 1 – Rap]
I swallowed truth till it broke my bones
Wore every lie like it was my own
You carved your name inside my chest
Told me pain would teach me what’s best
I played the part, but I lost the script
Now I’m standing in a ruin I built
I stayed in silence, but you screamed my name
Now all I hear is the sound of shame
[Pre-Chorus – Sung]
Pressure building in my veins
I try to fight it, try to stay
But every word you throw at me
Is like a fire I can’t breathe
[Chorus – Sung]
Don’t call this healing—it’s survival
Don’t call it strength—when I had no choice
You left your echo in my silence
Now every scream is shaped like your voice
You think I’m whole 'cause I’m still standing
But ash can hold the form of flame
I never wanted to be a weapon
But you taught me how to aim
[Verse 2 – Rap]
I buried truth beneath the weight
Made peace with lies that sealed my fate
I tried to build, but you tore it down
And claimed that I was the one who drowned
I wore your judgment like a chain
Held the blame when you couldn’t explain
But I’m done pretending you were right
Now I’m burning every lie you’d write
[Pre-Chorus – Sung]
Pressure building in my veins
I try to fight it, try to stay
But every word you throw at me
Is like a fire I can’t breathe
[Chorus – Sung]
Don’t call this healing—it’s survival
Don’t call it strength—when I had no choice
You left your echo in my silence
Now every scream is shaped like your voice
You think I’m whole 'cause I’m still standing
But ash can hold the form of flame
I never wanted to be a weapon
But you taught me how to aim
[Bridge – Screamed + Layered Vocals]
You built your cage, now watch me break
This time it’s my turn, no more fake
You said I’d crumble—watch me rise
The fire inside? It’s my surprise
I’m not what broke—
I’m what survived
I’m not the shell—
I’m what’s alive
You wanted fire?
Well, you’ll get the heat
This is the cost of what you made of me
[Final Chorus – Sung with layered harmonies, screams underneath]
Don’t call this healing—it’s survival
Don’t call it strength—when I had no choice
You left your echo in my silence
Now every scream is shaped like your voice
You think I’m whole 'cause I’m still standing
But ash can hold the form of flame
I never wanted to be a weapon
But you taught me how to aim
[Outro – Soft Male Vocals, Fading with Ambient Guitar]
You carved your guilt into my skin
But I’m not broken—this is where I begin
Ashes fall where your name once stood
But I’m still rising...
Still unbroken.
