Rise

Letra

Dark room, cold floor, silence in my chest Clocks ticking loud like a war drum in my head Mirror shows the cracks where my pride used to flex Yesterday I broke, today I still feel wrecked Shoes by the door, weights untouched The fire that burned now don't feel like much But deep in the dust of defeated plans A voice still whispers, "Stand if you can" It's not the sweat, it's not the strain It's the war I wage against my own name Every "I can't" I ever said Builds the chains wrapped 'round my legs But I rise again through the pain, through the doubt When the silence screams, I drown it out Every fall is a vow I renew with my breath I'm not done, not yet I rise again, fists clenched and bare Bleeding will, but I still dare It's not the way, it's what I fight within And I rise, I rise again I've stared at bars I couldn't lift Felt my worth sink with every misrep Compared my grind to someone's peak And hated the echo when my goals would speak But steel don't shape without the flame And scars don't form unless there's pain So I meet myself on every set A thousand debts, a thousand deaths You're weak, maybe, but weak ain't dead You'll quit, not today, not while I still have breath You'll fail, I already did, and I stood back up That's what makes me enough I rise again through the storm, through the ache When my heart says "break," I let it break 'Cause broken bones heal, but a broken will That's a death I won't fulfill I rise again, callous soul, trembling hands Built from silence, not from fans The war inside, I choose to win And I rise I rise again (ooh, ooh-ooh) Not for glory (ooh, ooh-ooh) Not for show (ooh, ooh-ooh) Just so I can say I didn't let me go
