Ground beneath

[Intro] [Female vocal Indian classical ornament Alap-style Slow Mournful No percussion Echoed vocals] Haa-re... aaa... oh... re-aaa... mmm.. Haa-re... aaa-oh... re... mmm-aaa.. [Verse 1] [Soft vocal enters Tabla enters subtle beneath muted synth stab] Choking on the quiet of my own isolation Desolation made a home behind my eyes No door No window I'm a prisoner of my own mind Desperately trying to feel the difference between breathing and being alive [Chorus] [Beat drops slightly here — low Heavy Suffocating pulse] You cast me out like I am easily released Walk all over me like I am ground beneath your feet You look right through me like I am nothing Like I am no one But I breathe And I bleed And I feel everything Still standing in the wreckage you made of me [Verse 2] Built my walls behind every door you closed Your abuse became my ammunition Your cruelty built my crown You created the fire burning in me now Out of your ruins A phoenix rose New faith New strength I no longer break [Chorus] You cast me out like I am easily released Walk all over me like I am ground beneath your feet You look right through me like I am nothing Like I am no one But I breathe And I bleed And I feel everything Still standing in the wreckage you made of me [Bridge] You thought you broke me You just lit the match Out of your ruins rose a fire you can't take back Silence was all that I was worthy of You gave me every reason to be nothing Instead I made it every reason to rise You created the fire You just didn't know that fire was already mine
