Rise From the Tracks

Verse 1

Cold keys on a midnight stage

I used to drown in a borrowed rage

Every verse I wrote was a locked door

Now I trace the cracks that let the light pour

Pre-Chorus

They said the story's written in stone

But I picked up the pen and learned to write my own

Chorus

Rise like the smoke off the city tracks

I was the flame they couldn't hold back

Every scar a verse and every tear a tone

I turned the pain into a throne

Verse 2

Mama's hands on a chipped cup

Sunday prayers when I gave up

Dust on a piano nobody played

Now I make the silence swing my way

Pre-Chorus

They counted me out before the first line

But every sign I found was mine

Chorus

Rise like the smoke off the city tracks

I was the flame they couldn't hold back

Every scar a verse and every tear a tone

I turned the pain into a throne

Bridge

And the night was long

But the morning comes

And the ones who laughed

Are the ones who hum along

Oh

Oh

Chorus

Rise like the smoke off the city tracks

I was the flame they couldn't hold back

Every scar a verse and every tear a tone

I turned the pain into a throne
