[Verse 1] My face is dirty from yesterday, my hands are full of haste. I walk upon my thoughts, like glass inside a shoe too tight. You saw me falling slowly, without making too much sound. I rise back on my bones, with a knot inside my heart. [Pre-Chorus] If you touch me, I still tremble, but I won't yield, no. If I get lost within this hour, I come back to myself. [Chorus] On my knees, but alive, on my knees, still right here. On my knees, I breathe, and I won't break, it doesn't end here. On my knees, but I dare, on my knees, here I am. On my knees, I tell you that I stand tall even like this. [Verse 2] The kitchen smells of rain, of stale and forgotten bread. There's a glass upon the threshold, a silence worn and dead. I counted all my cracks, like splinters in an open palm. Every wound still hurts, but it keeps me wide awake. [Pre-Chorus] If you call me, I return slowly, but I return to you. If you leave me without a hand, I’ll learn to stand on my own. [Chorus] On my knees, but alive, on my knees, still right here. On my knees, I breathe, and I won't break, it doesn't end here. On my knees, but I dare, on my knees, here I am. On my knees, I tell you that I stand tall even like this. [Bridge] And if the world crushes me, I show it my teeth. If the night drags me down, I’ll get through with steps so slow. I'm not made of stone, I am warm, I am real. With dust upon my chest, and a name written within. [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] On my knees, but alive, on my knees, still right here. On my knees, I breathe, and I won't break, it doesn't end here! On my knees, but I dare, on my knees, here I am. On my knees, I tell you that I stand tall... even like this. [Outro] Even like this. Standing tall. Always.
