Built From Broken (Inspired By Dean Winchester)

[Verse 1] I’ve buried more than just the dead Carved my guilt in shades of red A flask, a gun, a worn-down face Still chasing things I’ll never face [Pre-Chorus] They say I’m strong, they say I’m brave But I’m just a soul I couldn't save [Chorus] I’m built from broken, forged in fire A heart of rust, a worn-out wire I fight the dark, but it knows my name I play the hero, but I’m not the same Every scar's a battle hymn A song of loss beneath the skin So don't call me whole—I’m just outspoken A man who's built from broken [Verse 2] Dad's voice still echoes in my sleep "Protect your blood, don’t ever weep" But I’ve cried in ways that leave no trace Behind this smirk, I’ve lost the race [Pre-Chorus] I laugh too loud, I bleed too fast And every ghost becomes my past [Chorus] I’m built from broken, forged in fire A heart of rust, a worn-out wire I fight the dark, but it knows my name I play the hero, but I’m not the same Every scar's a battle hymn A song of loss beneath the skin So don't call me whole—I’m just outspoken A man who's built from broken [Bridge – gritty, raw] I sold my soul to save a life Then cursed the stars that drew the knife You call it fate—I call it hell But I’d do it all again as well [Breakdown – strained vocals] ‘Cause pain’s the price I’ve learned to keep And silence is the way I sleep [Final Chorus – intense and layered] I’m built from broken, forged in fire Still standing in the crossfire I fight the dark—it fights me back But I’ve learned to live with the cracks Every scar's a battle hymn I wear them loud beneath the skin So raise your glass to the outspoken To the ones like me— the ones built from broken [Outro – fading, whispered] Still standing… but never whole.
