I Stay Upright (Through The Fire)

[Verse 1] I walk alone where the lamps flicker low, Hands in my pockets, moving slow. The air is sharp, but I hold my ground, Collecting the pieces I never found. Each step I take leaves a quiet trace, A weight inside I can’t erase. I speak in murmurs, the city moves fast, Trying to make a moment last. [Pre-Chorus] The pull is heavy, the day feels long, But I stay upright, I carry on. [Chorus] I stand through the fire, I walk through the pain, Every loss I’ve carried won’t hold me again. I won’t bend, I won’t fall, I claim my name, Through calm and through struggle, I rise from the blame. [Verse 2] I speak my truth on cracked, worn stone, No disguise, no hiding, I face it alone. The lies you built I pull apart, Every step I take leaves a mark on my heart. My voice cuts sharp where words meet the street, I move through the noise, I won’t accept defeat. No place to hide, no corner to flee, The strength I hold won’t let it bury me. [Bridge] I push through the heat, I push through the strain, Every scar I earned feeds the drive in my brain. I bend the rules, I break down the walls, Every chain I touch, I make it fall. No ghosts, no shadows, just the fight I hold, Every word I spit is steady and bold. [Final Chorus] I stand through the fire, I walk through the pain, Every loss I’ve carried won’t hold me again. I won’t bend, I won’t fall, I claim my name, Through calm and through struggle, I rise from the blame. [Outro] Step by step, I move through the night, Bruised but steady, keeping my sight. From whispers to shouts, I’ve walked this lane, Through quiet and fury, I carry the strain.
