Blackout Heart

Letras

Count the breaths, count the scars

If you're still breathing, you're still at war

The night crawls in like a blade to the ribs

I taste the fear on the back of my lips

Me and sickness, concrete prayers

I've learned to bleed in the open air

Voices grind like a rusted chain

Telling me "Quit," but I don't obey

I've stared at the edge, I've felt that pull

Now I'm the storm and the storm is full

I don't need Heaven, I don't need clean

I need a reason to stay mean

So strike the match, let the darkness see

I'm not your victim, I'm your enemy

I've got a blackout heart still beating in the fire

Chains on my lungs, but I won't expire

If the void wants my name, it can come and try

I bite back hard, I don't lay down, I don't die

Turn the pain into power, turn the loss into art

I'm a war drum living in a blackout heart

Blackout

Heart

I've worn the mask, I've swallowed the sound

I've smiled through hell just to not get found

But I'm done being quiet, done being tame

Done carrying shame like a ball and chain

I've been dragged through the mud by the hands of time

Still I stand here, teeth bared, eyes alive

You can call it rage, you can call it sin

I call it proof that I'm still within

Every scar is a sentence the dark couldn't end

Every cut is a place where the light gets in

So hit me again, I'll hit back twice

I've paid my dues, now I take my life
