[Verse 1] Wakes up to a warzone inbox Bills on the table Heart still sore Smudged mascara Coffee on her T-shirt Laughs Says "Guess we're starting at floor four" She trips on the same cracked sidewalk Knees kiss gravel Palms sting red [low vocal register] Breath hits panic Eyes hit sky "Not staying down " is all she said [Chorus] She’s the alchemist in sneakers Turning every bruise into gold Pulling good out of the bad Yeah Warmth out of the cold She looks fear right in the face Plants a kiss on its forehead Unshaken Says "I see you I see you" "But you don’t get to make me break" [Verse 2] Office lights hum Rumors in the break room Old guard guarding rusted gates She walks in Bright laugh like thunder Rewriting all their ancient ways They call her "too much" "too loud" "too different" She shrugs "That’s the point I’m change" Pulls the power out of every hard day Stacks it like lightning in her veins [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] For every fall She keeps a tally Not of losses But of how high she rallies She’s the disruptor of the rotten deals New road rising under her feet Takes the rules Tears them to ribbons Builds a kinder concrete [crescendo] She’s the one who does impossible things Bare soul Brass heart Steady gaze Walking straight through the burning gate Lighting up a softer way [Chorus]
