Heavy, Defiant Still standing in the storm, yeah the rain don’t phase me, Watched demons take souls, tried to reach and save me. Glass eyes, slow breath, seen the light go dim, But I crawled through the dark, didn’t drown with them. Thunder in my chest, hear the pain transform, Every scar tell a story, I was shaped by the storm. They fell to the needle, I refused that norm, Now I stand ten toes, still alive in the storm. The Low Ash on the table, burnt spoons in the sink, Whole house smell like regret and cheap drink. Voices all slurred, promises thin, “Tomorrow I’ll quit”—yeah I heard that again. Seen friends fade out while they still alive, Bodies in the room but the soul don’t drive. Eyes like ghosts, no fight inside, Just chasing that numb where the truth can’t hide. I was right there too, toe on the edge, Pain got loud, almost took the pledge. One hit, one slip, one “I don’t care,” Whole life disappear in a cloud of despair. Tension Rise But something in me wouldn’t let it win, Voice in the static said “don’t give in.” World went black but I held that spark, Even lost in the light, I could see through the dark. Same but hits harder Still standing in the storm, yeah the rain don’t phase me, Watched demons take souls, tried to reach and save me. Glass eyes, slow breath, seen the light go dim, But I crawled through the dark, didn’t drown with them. Thunder in my chest, hear the pain transform, Every scar tell a story, I was shaped by the storm. They fell to the needle, I refused that norm, Now I stand ten toes, still alive in the storm. Rising / Separation Had to cut ties, yeah it tore me apart, Loving broken people with a bleeding heart. You can’t pull ‘em out if they don’t wanna climb, Learned that truth the hardest kind of time. Phone full of names I don’t call no more, Memories echo like a slammed shut door. Guilt in my chest but I chose to live, Can’t pour from a cup that got nothing to give. Now I move clean, mind sharp like steel, Every breath I take remind me it’s real. Pain turned fuel, I don’t run, I build, Everything they lost, I refuse to **** Reflection I still hear ‘em sometimes in the back of my head, Laughs from the nights that could’ve left me dead. I carry ‘em with me but I don’t go back, I turned that weight into strength on my back. Victory, not perfect but strong Still standing in the storm, I ain’t breaking form, Walked through hellfire, now I weather it warm. They said I’d fold, said I’d lose my way, But I rose from the mud, now I’m here to stay. Thunder in my chest, now it sound like life, Turned pain into purpose, cut clean through the strife. Yeah I seen the bottom, I remember it clear, That’s the reason I’m standing—and I’m still right here.
