Still here Still here Still here I give everything I have to save you Hold your world when it falls apart I can stand inside your breaking Never let it reach your heart But when I turn that light on me It disappears inside my hands I become the voice that wounds me And the one who understands Then something moves beneath the damage Something reaches through the noise Says I am not the dark I’m drowning in I am not that voice No, I am not that voice There’s a part of me that won’t die Even when I split inside Even when my own mind Tries to bury me alive I have been the war and the weapon I have been the wound and the cry But every time I fall through the floor I rise one more time There’s a part of me that won’t die There’s a part of me that won’t die I can name somebody’s demons Tell them they are not their shame I can see the child beneath it Still deserving love the same But when the silence turns on me I forget what I believe I don’t give myself the kindness I would bleed for you to receive Then something moves beneath the damage Something reaches through the noise Says I am not the dark I’m drowning in I am not that voice No, I am not that voice There’s a part of me that won’t die Even when I split inside Even when my own mind Tries to bury me alive I have been the war and the weapon I have been the wound and the cry But every time I fall through the floor I rise one more time There’s a part of me that won’t die There’s a part of me that won’t die Too much heart Not enough spine Always saving everyone While you leave yourself behind You know the truth But still you drown You build them wings Then burn yours down Still here Still breathing Still reaching Still mine You fall apart Then hide behind “healing” Still here You break again And call it feeling Still here I am not gone I am not done I am the part That still gets up I made a language from the hurting Made a signal from the sound If I had to crawl through wreckage I still blessed the broken ground I’m not healed like a fairytale I’m not clean of the fight But I still choose tomorrow With my teeth in the light There’s a part of me that won’t die Even when I split inside Even when my own mind Tries to bury me alive I have been the war and the weapon I have been the wound and the cry But every time I fall through the floor I rise one more time There’s a part of me that won’t die And she’s keeping me alive There’s a part of me that won’t die She’s the reason I survived There’s a part of me that won’t die Still here, still here, still alive
