[Verse 1] Fingernails White walls Breath caught in my throat I stall [Verse 1] Fingernails White walls Breath caught in my throat I stall [Male whisper] “I’m just broken Just a bruise” [Female soft] “You’re a garden pushing through” Shattered glass Same room Every day the same dull wound [Male whisper] “Nothing grows in all this tar” [Female soft] “I see beauty in your scars” [Chorus] Beauty beneath the scars Burning under every mark You are more than all your damage More than every night you vanished Beauty beneath the scars In the cracks I see the stars When you say you’re lost forever I scream “We’ll crawl through hell together” [Verse 2] [Male low] “I am rusted I am rot” Words like chains around my thoughts [Female answer] “You’re a storm that learned to sing” “Every bruise became a wing” Knees on tile Blood-red eyes Counting all the times you tried [Male hiss] “I am nothing Just these bars” [Female] “I see constellations carved” [Chorus] Beauty beneath the scars Burning under every mark You are more than all your damage More than every night you vanished Beauty beneath the scars In the cracks I see the stars Beauty beneath the scars Burning under every mark You are more than all your damage More than every night you vanished Beauty beneath the scars In the cracks I see the stars When you say you’re lost forever I scream “We’ll crawl through hell together” [Bridge] [Stop. Dead silence. One distant guitar note.] [Male whisper] “If I tear this mask away?” [Female whisper] “I will hold what’s left I’ll stay” [Band SLAMS back in Halftime] [Male scream] You say you’re ruined (ruined!) I say you’re rising (rising!) You curse your skin like a cage of stone But every line is a map back home [Female shout] You say you’re failing (failing!) I say you’re fighting (fighting!) Every scar that you try to hide I say you’re rising (rising!) You curse your skin like a cage of stone But every line is a map back home [Female shout] You say you’re failing (failing!) I say you’re fighting (fighting!) Every scar that you try to hide Is proof you made it out alive [Final Chorus] Beauty beneath the scars Burning under every mark You are more than what they gave you More than what they tried to break you Beauty beneath the scars In the cracks I see the stars When the shadows drag you under I will be your answering thunder (hey!) [Female whisper] “You’re the beauty in the scars”
