[Verse 1]
You only see the scars that stayed
Not the nights I lost my mind
Doctor said, “You made it out”
I said, “Yeah… but I’m still fucking tired”
Floors I slept on, doors I kicked
Every promise made me sick
Hands still shaking, heart still cold
Learned too young, had to grow old

[Pre-Chorus]
I carried every failure
Every word they threw
I swore I’d never end up
Broken down like you

[Chorus]
I bled for every breath I take
I broke my bones just to escape
I was dead inside this skin
Now I stand tall — I didn’t quit
I carried hell inside my chest
Still here, still breathing, fuck the rest
They tried to bury what I am
I’m still here — do you understand?

[Verse 2]
I used to flinch at every kindness
Thought love was just a trap
Kept one foot out the front door
And a knife stuck in my back
Trust was something I couldn’t hold
Every lie just felt like home
I learned to fight, I learned to run
I faced the dark when I was young

[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar’s a lesson
Every bruise a name
I’m not the same person
That walked through that pain

[Chorus]
I bled for every breath I take
I broke my bones just to escape
I was dead inside this skin
Now I stand tall — I didn’t quit
I carried hell inside my chest
Still here, still breathing, fuck the rest
They tried to bury what I am
I’m still here — do you understand?

[Breakdown] (screamed)
You tried to bury me alive
But I came back harder
Every scar you left on me
Made me stronger, made me darker
I’m not your victim anymore
I’m not that kid on the floor
You built the rage inside my veins
Now I’m the storm you can’t ignore

[Bridge – cinematic, calmer]
I’m still learning how to breathe
Without the weight on me
Still learning how to live
Without the memory
But I’m not going under
I’m not fading out
I found a voice inside the pain
And now I scream it loud

[Breakdown] (screamed)
You tried to bury me alive
But I came back harder
Every scar you left on me
Made me stronger, made me darker
I’m not your victim anymore
I’m not that kid on the floor
You built the rage inside my veins
Now I’m the storm you can’t ignore

[Bridge – cinematic, calmer]
I’m still learning how to breathe
Without the weight on me
Still learning how to live
Without the memory
But I’m not going under
I’m not fading out
I found a voice inside the pain
And now I scream it loud

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
I bled for every breath I take
I broke my bones just to escape
I was dead inside this skin
Now I stand tall — I didn’t quit
I carried hell inside my chest
Still here, still breathing, fuck the rest
They tried to bury what I am
I’m still here — do you understand?
Still here.
Still breathing.
Still fighting.
