Rose From Cement
(check) (listen) Shattered the frame and I swept up the glass Trying to outrun
the ghost of my past You held the door while I tore
down the hall Scraping the paint off of every bare wall I
fought your grace like an enemy strike Pushed back the hand that
was saving my life
Look at the ground where you broke up the stone You never
had to survive this alone
Even a rose can push through the cement
Breaking the mold where your anger was spent
The monster you see looking back in the glass
Is just a scared shadow that's ready to pass
Out of the wreckage we claw through the flame (stand tall)
Clear out the ruins and bury the blame (break through) Petals unfurl
through the crack in the stone
You face the reflection,
you are not alone!
I looked in the mirror and hated the beast
Starving the fire while begging for peace
You showed me water when everything burned
Taking the blame for the corners I turned
Cleaning the scars that I carved in the floor
Dropping my weapons right outside your door
You are not the venom you carried before
Stand up and finish this war at the core Strength isn't hiding
behind heavy stone Roots find a way when the blossom has grown
Wash off the dust that you left in the hall Watch every
brick of that barricade fall!
Tearing the mask off,
I'm facing the light!
Planted your feet in the middle of flight!
Rose from the concrete,
no longer in chains!
Washing the venom that flooded your veins!
The monster in the glass is undone in the dirt We rise
from the wreckage and shatter the hurt!
(through the
concrete)
(we rise)
