Rise Through The Weight

Blinds stay shut in a borrowed room

Dust in the air, no space to move

Every breath feels like a chain

Still I rise, I won't remain

Street is cold, machines complain

Steps fall hard but I sustain

Hunger claws beneath my skin

Something fierce won't cave within

Voices pound like iron drums

Telling me I should succumb

But I carve a different sound

Striking sparks from solid ground

Iron in my veins

I don't bend, I don't fade

Dark days press me down

I rise through the weight

Let the silence bite

Let the shadows fight

I drag myself through

I will cut the night

Iron in my veins

I don't bend, I don't fade

Dark days press me down

I rise through the weight
