[intro – spoken, deep, no beat] my doubts wear armor, i aim for the cracks discipline my shield, pain the blade i swing back i go to war with yesterday’s version of me blood on my hands, just sweat from the climb i bleed [beat drop] [verse 1] i wake to chaos, sharpen my calm they dream of peace, i train for the storm fear tries to whisper, i answer with fire every scar i carry just builds me higher [guitar interlude] [hook] every second cuts deeper, carving truth in my name the pressure don’t break me, it shapes me through flame time ain’t ticking, it’s screaming, i answer the cry i ain’t waiting on tomorrow, i was born to bleed and rise [verse 2] waves curl and crash, i stand in the foam thunder rolls close, i call it home i roared with the ocean, struck back with the sky the storm don’t shake me, it teaches me why [verse 3] i rose from the ruins with smoke on my back learned how to fly while they prayed i would crack broke every chain stitched into my name walked through the fire, came out untamed the sky never asked if my wings were real i jumped anyway, made freedom my shield weight off my soul like a breath finally caught every scar was the price for the battles i fought [hook – repeat, stronger] every second cuts deeper, carving truth in my name the pressure don’t break me, it shapes me through flame time ain’t ticking, it’s screaming, i answer the cry i ain’t waiting on tomorrow, i was born to bleed and rise [outro] i was born to bleed and rise born to bleed and rise
