I took the hit... and I didn't flinch.
Now watch this.
I walked through the noise, they said I'd fall,
Echoes were loud, but I heard my call.
Tears dried up, turned into glass,
Now every step shines from my past.
You thought I'd stay down, broken and small,
But silence grew strong - I faced it all.
Every scar's a medal I wear,
You see the calm, but I've been there.
I don't need to shout, I don't need to fight,
My eyes already tell you I survived the night.
I'm colder now, but I still burn inside,
So when the bass hits - that's my pride.
They thought I'd break, but I'm still breathing,
Scars on my face, but I'm still gleaming.
Tears in the dark, now I'm daydreaming -
Revenge looks better when I'm beaming.
Smirk on my lips (ha), look what you did (yeah).
Fire in my veins, I'm alive again.
Smirk on my lips (ha), pain turns to drip (yeah).
Laugh in the ashes - I win again.
Heh... heh... (smirk)
Heh... heh... (smirk)
Rain came down, I danced in it slow,
Turned my tears into silver glow.
You see a smile, but not the cost,
Every win comes from what I lost.
No more fear, no more disguise,
Truth shows up when the mask dies.
Every fall taught me my name,
Now I rise - not the same.
I don't need a sign, I don't need a guide,
I built my peace from what I cried.
Every wound just made me wise,
Now I move - no need to hide.
