The Victory of Defeat

[Verse 1] Canvas in my teeth Taste of blood and dust Everyone was watching I was face down in the rust They raised his hand above me My name drowned in the crowd All I heard was silence In a building screaming loud [Chorus] This is the victory of defeat Where I was broken I found my feet Hit the bottom of the bottom Now I'm hard to beat Every scar is the map that I read Turned a blackout night to the light I need Yeah I learned how to win In the victory of defeat [Verse 2] Back home with the replay Looping in my head Every slip Every second Every word I never said Hung my boots on the doorway Thought about walking away But something in that heartbreak Started training me to stay [Chorus] This is the victory of defeat Where I was broken I found my feet Hit the bottom of the bottom Now I'm hard to beat Every scar is the map that I read Turned a blackout night to the light I need Yeah I learned how to win In the victory of defeat [Bridge] I was the punchline I was the fall Now I'm the echo shaking these walls (hey!) You can't crush a heart that learned To rise every time it burns [Chorus] This is the victory of defeat Where I was broken I found my feet Hit the bottom of the bottom Now I'm hard to beat Every scar is the map that I read Turned a blackout night to the light I need Now they chant my name to the beat Yeah I learned how to win In the victory of defeat
