Lyrics

They said fight like hell, so I did
Clawed at the dark till it lived in my ribs
Years in the fire, I swallowed the smoke
Now every breath feels like it might choke
My body's a map I don't recognize
Lines drawn in pain, blurred out eyes
Ground disappeared under both my feet
Now I stagger to a rhythm that won't let me sleep
And I'm still here but barely feels like living
Still loud but something's always missing
This is my broken anthem, scream it through the cracks
Every piece they've taken, I am trying to take back
But how do I keep fighting what I'll never win?
When the war's inside my body, underneath my skin
I'm a voice that's fading, I'm a mind that's split
I'm holding on to nothing, still refusing to quit
If this is what surviving is supposed to be
Why does it feel like it's killing me?
Legs don't listen, hands go numb
Words fall apart before they come
My reflection looks away from me
Like even she can't bear to see
Hope feels heavy, joy feels gone
Pain's the only thing that lingers on
And I hate this question I can't outrun
Is the fight the thing that's coming undone?
They call me strong I don't feel brave
Just someone too stubborn to lay in the grave
This is my broken anthem, scream it through the cracks
Every piece they've taken, I am trying to take back
But how do I keep fighting what I'll never win?
When the war's inside my body, underneath my skin
I'm a voice that's fading, I'm a mind that's split
I'm holding on to nothing, still refusing to quit
If this is what surviving is supposed to be
Why does it feel like it's killing me?
I am not fearless
I am not whole
I am a battle
That's losing control
And still
I bite down
I stand up
I break, I don't bow
Even when strength is a flicker, not flame
Even when I don't remember my name
This is my broken anthem, louder than the pain
Even if I lose it, I will not be erased
There's a fire somewhere buried underneath
Even if it's dying, it remembers me
I am still here, even torn apart
Even with the silence swallowing my heart
Call it defiance, call it what you see
But something in me still refuses to leave
Not a victory… not a defeat…
Just a heartbeat…
Refusing… to retreat
