I’ve walked through nights that had no mercy
Echoes cut me to the bone
Fell through shadows, lost my footing
Learned the weight of standing lone

The scars are whispers on my shoulders
Cold reminders of the cost
But every fall became a lesson
Every fracture never lost

And I rise through the ruins
Where the hurting used to reign
I was broken in the silence
But I learned to breathe again
Time may heal the deepest wounds
But the fire made me strong
And I rise through the ruins
Where the darkness kept me long

I’ve held the storms inside my ribcage
Let them tear the light apart
Still I carried all the fragments
Like a kingdom in my heart

No regret for how I suffered
It became my second skin
Though the night can still be heavy
I refuse to fall again

And I rise through the ruins
Where the hurting used to reign
I was broken in the silence
But I learned to breathe again
Time may heal the deepest wounds
But the fire made me strong
And I rise through the ruins
Where the darkness kept me long

Every tear became a mirror
Showing who I’ve come to be
Not the victim of the shadows
But the one who walks them free

And I rise through the ruins
Where the hurting used to reign
I was broken in the silence
But I learned to breathe again
Time may heal the deepest wounds
But the fire made me strong
And I rise through the ruins
Where the darkness kept me long
