Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh

Oh

Verse 1

Scuffed boots on pavement

Empty cupboards and shallow breath

Silence screamed through the drywall

Walls kept closing in on me

Nobody heard the struggle

They just saw a ghost passing

Hard skin on these knuckles

Ready for the heavy lifting

Pre-Chorus

Pressure pulls tight on my chest

Body wants to find some rest

I rise I rise I rise

Rising up to win the prize

Chorus

I'm chasing what they said was just a dream

Tearing through the night

Splitting every seam

No sleep

No breaks

Built from nothing

Breathing broken air

Watch me rise from the ashes

Watch me take the throne

Fought it all alone

Fought it all alone

Verse 2

Found a map in the dirt

Tired of waiting for the turn

Every bridge that I burnt

Was a lesson I had to learn

Steel mind and a jagged heart

Crafting something out of junk

Tearing the whole world apart

Pulling myself out this funk

Pre-Chorus

Pressure pulls tight on my chest

Body wants to find some rest

I rise I rise I rise

Rising up to win the prize

Chorus

I'm chasing what they said was just a dream

Tearing through the night

Splitting every seam

No sleep

No breaks

Built from nothing

Breathing broken air

Watch me rise from the ashes

Watch me take the throne

Fought it all alone

Fought it all alone

Bridge

Nights I almost walked away

Empty space with words to say

Hunger kept the flame alive

Doing more than just survive

Drop

Fought it all alone

Watch me take the throne

Final Chorus

I'm chasing what they said was just a dream

Tearing through the night

Splitting every seam

No sleep

No breaks

Built from nothing

Breathing broken air

Watch me rise from the ashes

Watch me take the throne

Fought it all alone

Fought it all alone
