Lyrics by: zNek0 ════ ⋆★⋆ ════ (Verse 1) Born in the ashes, left to decay A ghost in the mirror, fading away Caged and discarded, a marionette Dancing for demons I never had met (Pre-Chorus) And I bled in the silence, wrists painted red Screaming for help, but they left me for dead Staring at nothing, lost in the void Echoes of whispers that never had voice (Chorus) But I stitched up my wounds with the fire inside Built from the wreckage they left me to die I won’t be a martyr, I won’t be a ghost I’m done being haunted, I’m taking control (Verse 2) Bruises and broken, a life under siege Drowned in their venom, too shattered to breathe Lies in my ear, gaslit to the core Told I was nothing, but I became more (Pre-Chorus) And I bled in the silence, wrists painted red Screaming for help, but they left me for dead Staring at nothing, lost in the void Echoes of whispers that never had voice (Chorus) But I stitched up my wounds with the fire inside Built from the wreckage they left me to die I won’t be a martyr, I won’t be a ghost I’m done being haunted, I’m taking control (Bridge) Now I stand in the fire, unshaken, awake The chains that once bound me are starting to break Let them call me defiant, let them call me insane I’ve danced with the darkness, now I own the flame (Chorus) I stitched up my wounds with the fire inside Built from the wreckage they left me to die I won’t be a martyr, I won’t be a ghost I’m done being haunted, I’m taking control (Outro) Let the sirens scream, let them sharpen their knives They can try to erase me, but I’ve come alive Not scared of the echoes, not scared of the past I was broken and bleeding, but I made it last
