Burning Through

Can you hear me through the noise?

Through the weight of every day…

I wake up with a war in my head

Counting all the words I never said Every street looks cold tonight

Like the world forgot my name

I carry ghosts inside my chest Try to smile,

try to do my best But some wounds don’t disappear

They just learn to hide in the dark

And if I fall again Don’t let me fade away

I’m still alive

Even with the weight of the world on my chest

Still alive

Even when my heart beats broken to death

Every scar, every cry Every time I thought I’d die I’m still

alive

Still alive

We all bleed where no one sees

Behind our perfect memories

Every soul has known this pain

Standing in the pouring rain

And I know I’m not alone

In the silence of these homes

We’re just people trying to breathe

While the night pulls underneath

And if we fall again We won’t be

erased

I’m still alive

Even with the weight of the world on my chest

Still alive

Even when my heart beats broken to death

Every scar, every cry Every time I thought I’d die I’m still

alive

Still alive

I screamed at the sky I begged for a sign I walked

through the fire A thousand times But the dark couldn’t take me

The pain couldn’t break me I’m not the ashes

I’m the flame

I’m still alive

Even with the weight of the world on my chest

Still alive And I won’t

let the darkness decide what is left Every scar,

every cry Every time we survived

We are still alive

Still alive When the world says “give up”

We rise above

Still alive

Still alive

Can you hear me through the noise?

I’m still alive…
