My Legacy

Verse 1

I remember the dirt on the soles of my boots

Digging out the weeds just to reach my roots

They built a cage of glass and thought I'd smile inside

But they forgot the storm that I was born to ride

Look at the scars lining up on my chest

Every single one is a war I confessed

You want to see me crawl, you want to watch me break

But I'm the only promise that you couldn't fake

Pre-Chorus

So pull the pin and let it blow

There's nothing left of the boy you used to know

I am the match, I am the fuel that burns

The darkest savior that you never learned

Chorus

This is the ghost you left out in the cold

Trading my soul for a story untold

You can write my name in the ash and the dust

But I'll never bend and I'll never rust

Stand back, watch the empire fall

I am the shadow that outlives it all

Yeah, this is my legacy

Verse 2

You talk your trash behind a safety net

While I'm the consequence you haven't met yet

A loaded chamber in a world full of lies

I see the panic when you look in my eyes

You played the victim while you held the blade

Now face the wreckage of the choices you made

No point in begging for a second chance

We're going under in this gallows dance

Pre-Chorus

So pull the pin and let it blow

There's nothing left of the boy you used to know

I am the match, I am the fuel that burns

The darkest savior that you never learned

Chorus

This is the ghost you left out in the cold

Trading my soul for a story untold

You can write my name in the ash and the dust

But I'll never bend and I'll never rust

Stand back, watch the empire fall

I am the shadow that outlives it all

Yeah, this is my legacy

Bridge

You thought you buried me

You thought I'd stay in the dirt

But you only gave me room to grow

Now look at what you made

Look at what you made

I am the reckoning

Chorus

This is the ghost you left out in the cold

Trading my soul for a story untold

You can write my name in the ash and the dust

But I'll never bend and I'll never rust

Stand back, watch the empire fall

I am the shadow that outlives it all

Yeah, this is my legacy

Outro

Outlives it all

You can't erase me

You can't deface me

This is my legacy
