I don’t rise, I endure, Different kind of strength — less pure. I’ve seen faith crack under pressure, Watched morals bend for lesser measures. I don’t heal, I adapt to pain, Turn silence into sustained rage. They needed comfort, I needed truth, That’s why I outlived what broke you. Every step paid in blood and time, Not heroic — just survival lines. I don’t chase crowns, I bend the floor, Presence heavy when I hit the door. This is a dark anthem, no hands in the air, No saving grace, no answered prayers. I stayed alive where belief collapsed, Still standing tall in the aftermath. This is a dark anthem, no light in sight, Just weight, resolve, and endless nights. If you’re still here, you already know — This song ain’t hope, it’s survival code. I don’t forgive fast, I remember well, Memory sharper than any hell. I’ve seen love turn into leverage, Promises rot under pressure. I speak less now, words cost breath, I learned value watching silence kill. Every scar open, clean and real, Proof I didn’t fold, I didn’t kneel. They needed noise just to feel alive, I learned to breathe where others died. I don’t fear dark — I recognize it, That’s why it never surprised me. This is a dark anthem, no hands in the air, No saving grace, no answered prayers. I stayed alive where belief collapsed, Still standing tall in the aftermath. This is a dark anthem, no light in sight, Just weight, resolve, and endless nights. If you’re still here, you already know — This song ain’t hope, it’s survival code.
