Graves We Dug

V4.5-ALL

You said we’d never make it out alive

I was raised where the ground stays cold
Where you fight for breath and you fend for your soul
Every word you threw tried to carve my name
But I stitched those cuts and I fed the flame

Back against the wall, I was learning to swing
Every bruise like a badge, every scar like a ring
No silver spoon, no guiding light
Just a jaw locked tight and a will to fight

They talk about pain like they’ve been there before
I was face-down praying on a bloodstained floor
Every doubt you gave tried to bury me deep
But I grew my roots where the lost ones sleep

You said I’d break beneath the weight
Said I’d drown in my own mistakes
But every time you sealed my fate
You built the strength I couldn’t fake

We are the graves we dug ourselves
Buried alive but we broke the spell
You can’t kill what refuses to die
We rise, we rise

Through the dirt, through the doubt
Through the blood in our mouths
We won’t bow
We won’t bow

Every night felt like war in my chest
Every breath like a test I could never outguess
I was carrying ghosts that wouldn’t let go
Dragging my past everywhere that I go

But I turned that pressure into attack
Put my pain in a chain and I pulled it back
No more running from what I’ve been
If I fall, I fall with my teeth sunk in

You tried to cage me, I broke the bars
You tried to brand me with battle scars
You tried to finish what you couldn’t start
Now feel the beat of a vengeful heart

Drag me down, I’ll bite the hand
Cut me open, I’ll still stand
This pain’s my throne, this hate’s my crown

I was buried beneath my mistakes
Every promise I couldn’t save
I carried the weight of the blame
But I’m not the same

I bent but I never broke
Choked on the dust but I never lost hope
I found strength in the cracks of my bones
Made this ruin my throne

We are the graves we dug ourselves
But we clawed out of living hell
You can’t kill what refuses to die
We rise, we rise

Through the dirt, through the doubt
Through the blood in our mouths
We won’t bow
We won’t bow

This was the grave

Now watch us rise
