Lyrics
Verse 1
I wore the fault lines
Like they were mine
Took every hit
And stayed in line
Blew out the old name
Left it on the floor
You kept the door open
I came back for more
Pre-Chorus
And I felt the ground move
Under my feet
One spark, one breath
Then I could see
Chorus
Reborn again
Reborn again
I came back swinging
With my own skin
Reborn again
Reborn again
You broke me open
Now I live within
Verse 2
The hands got steadier
The eyes went clear
Scars turned into maps
When you got near
I kept the hard parts
I kept the flame
Not what I lost now
But what I became
Pre-Chorus
And I felt the ground move
Under my feet
One spark, one breath
Then I could see
Chorus
Reborn again
Reborn again
I came back swinging
With my own skin
Reborn again
Reborn again
You broke me open
Now I live within
Bridge
Burn it down slow
Let the smoke rise
I’m not the same shadow
I was last time
Call my name loud
Watch me return
Out of the wreckage
Out of the burn
Final Chorus
Reborn again
Reborn again
I came back swinging
With my own skin
Reborn again
Reborn again
You broke me open
Now I live within
Reborn again
Reborn again
I’m not the ending
I’m the beginning
