8.No Benediction for the Broken
[Verse 1] Don’t speak of peace when the blade’s still warm Don’t pray for light in a man who’s torn There’s no absolution in this skin Just the fire I buried deep within [Verse 2] You want a savior? I am not him I am the one who never fit in The edge they feared, the soul they banned The hand that burns but still will stand [Chorus] There’s no benediction for the broken No sacred hymn in the words unspoken I rose not clean, but carved from pain And I will not bow — not again [Verse 3] They gave me chains, I made them sing Taught the silence how to sting Truth is not what they preach or sell It’s found in what you walk through hell [Bridge] I’m not what heals — I’m what endures The fault line cracked, but I held sure If I am cursed, then let it be I’ll still outlast what buried me [Final Chorus] There’s no benediction for the damned But I still rise, I still withstand If hope is gone, then call me grief I wear my scars like my belief
