I Saved My Life

[Intro] [Scene: A ruined altar burns under a black sky. One singer stands in the ashes. The other circles above like a storm.] [Female Vocal 1 - Clean Emotional] Every scar became a signal Every wound became a light I was buried in the silence But I learned to stay alive [Female Vocal 2 - Dark Raspy] They were waiting in the shadows With their hands around the flame Promising a crown of sorrow Calling out my name [Verse 1] [Female Vocal 1] I turned the ruins into fire I turned the pain into proof No one came to pull me higher So I became the truth [Female Vocal 2] I felt the pressure getting colder Like a halo made of chains Every voice became a vulture Circling my brain [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal 1] I was breaking [Female Vocal 2] I was burning [Female Vocal 1] I was fading [Female Vocal 2] I was learning [Both - Building] If the night wants my soul It will have to watch me rise [Chorus] [Both - Explosive] I saved my life When the dark came alive I breathed beneath the fire With a heart too fierce to die I saved my life From the shadows and the lies I had to break to rise Now I’m burning in the light [Post-Chorus] [Female Vocal 1] I never needed someone by my side [Female Vocal 2] I became the one tonight [Both] I saved my life [Verse 2] [Female Vocal 1] No prince, no silver ending No hands reaching through the rain I built a crown from all my wreckage And wore it through the pain [Female Vocal 2] There were teeth behind the kindness There was poison in the gold Every promise tried to blind me But the fire made me bold [Pre-Chorus] [Female Vocal 1] I was shaking [Female Vocal 2] I was haunted [Female Vocal 1] I was aching [Female Vocal 2] But I wanted [Both - Rising] Something stronger than the fear Something louder than goodbye [Chorus] [Both - Explosive] I saved my life When the dark came alive I breathed beneath the fire With a heart too fierce to die I saved my life From the shadows and the lies I had to break to rise Now I’m burning in the light [Bridge] [Female Vocal 1 - Soft] I held the sun inside my hands Even when it burned me down [Female Vocal 2 - Aggressive] I climbed the altar of my pain And I took back my crown [Both - Building] Let the vultures circle closer Let the heavens split in two I am not the sacrifice I am what survives the wound [Breakdown] [Female Vocal 2 - Intense] No more chains No more lies No more dying to survive [Female Vocal 1 - High Vocal] I am fire I am light [Both] I saved my life [Final Chorus] [Both - Maximum Energy] I saved my life When the dark came alive I breathed beneath the fire With a heart too fierce to die I saved my life From the shadows and the lies I had to break to rise Now I’m burning in the light [Outro] [Female Vocal 1] Now I’m alive [Female Vocal 2] I took back the flame [Both] I saved my life
