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

I carried every failure

Every word they threw

I swore I’d never end up

Broken down like you

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?

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

Every scar’s a lesson

Every bruise a name

I’m not the same person

That walked through that pain

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

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

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

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.
