I woke with rust in my mouth Knuckles split on the truth
Every mirror called me out So I tore straight through
No prayer at the back door No mercy in the rain Just
a match in my left hand And a body full of pain
Brick by brick, I feel it rise
Heat in my ribs,
iron in my eyes
If I fall, I fall awake Drag my name through the brake (oh)
Break me down, I keep burning
Throw me hard, I keep turning
Bruised but never buried I rise with the weight I carry (yeah)
Boots hit glass on the floor Blood taste,
busted grin I was lost before the war Now I charge back
in
Walls lean close around me The ceiling starts to shake
I hear my old fear calling I let the whole thing break
No clean hands, no clean road Only scars that learned to glow
I spit dust, I bite steel Tell the night I still can
feel (come on)
(hey) (hey) I
won't kneel
I won't fold (hey) (hey)
Break me down, I keep burning Throw me hard,
I keep turning Bruised but never buried I rise with the weight
I carry Break me down,
hear me roaring Every wound is a door I'm forcing Bruised but
never buried I rise with the weight I carry (yeah)
Ash on my tongue,
fire in my chest
I leave the wreck and take the rest (oh)
