[Verse]
Splinters in my soul, jagged as the truth,
Words cut deep, sharper than a saber tooth.
A house of pain, walls screaming out loud,
Shadows on the floor, the silence was a shroud.
Heart bruised black, but the beat never stopped,
Fists like thunder, but my will never dropped.
Memories like chains, heavy on my neck,
But I’m stacking every scar like a deck.
[Chorus]
I rise from the rubble, I rise from the ash,
Turn pain into power, leave it all in the past.
I rise from the rubble, no chains on my feet,
From the cracks in my heart, a rhythm beats.
[Verse 2]
Tears in my cereal, fear in my veins,
Love felt foreign, replaced it with chains.
Eyes to the ceiling, praying for escape,
Dreams like smoke, trying to hold their shape.
They said "stay quiet," I learned to scream,
Turned every nightmare into a new dream.
The mirror was a battle, reflection would lie,
But I’m staring it down, now it’s eye to eye.
[Bridge]
Crawled through the fire, blistered and raw,
Carved out my freedom with every claw.
Every bruise a lesson, every tear a fight,
I found my dawn at the edge of night.
