[VERSE 1] I used to hide the silver lines beneath my sleeves and smile Afraid that every mark would turn my body into trial I thought survival should be silent, clean and easy to explain That strength meant looking untouched by every season of the pain But healing is not erasure, and the past is not a stain Every place I came apart became a seam that learned my name Now I wear the whole horizon where the damage used to start A map of every distance I have crossed inside my heart [PRE-CHORUS] I am not broken porcelain Not something to disguise Every line is evidence That I refused to die [CHORUS] I am made of scars Constellations on my skin Every one a place the dark got in And could not stay I am made of scars Not ashamed of where they are They are not the end of who we are They are the roads that led me here [VERSE 2] There are stories in my shoulders, there is thunder in my knees There are nights inside my memory that still refuse to leave I do not have to thank the fire for the strength I had to find I can hate the thing that hurt me and still love the life that is mine So I gather every version who believed she could not last Place a hand upon her heartbeat, tell her she is not the past We are not the hands that harmed us, not the rooms that watched us fall We are every time we answered when tomorrow dared to call [BRIDGE] Let them see the seams Let them see the truth There is nothing weak In what we lived through I AM NOT YOUR DAMAGE I AM NOT YOUR WAR I AM THE ONE WHO CARRIED ME BEYOND THE SHATTERED DOOR [FINAL CHORUS] I am made of scars Constellations on my skin Every one a place the light came in And chose to stay I am made of scars And I know exactly what they are Not the end of who we are But proof that we are still here [POST-CHORUS] Still here Still whole Still writing the future in my bones
