Lyrics

Schools signed me off like I was a lost cause
Sat across from men with dirty hands
And called it survival — called it law
No ticket, no passport, no promised land
Just a city that kept its mouth shut
While it ate me alive from inside
Learned to read a room before I crossed the door
Learned to read a face before they even lied
Every single scar became a blueprint
Every single silence became a skill
They thought they were breaking something fragile
They were sharpening something they couldn't kill
I don't forgive easy
I don't forget at all
You only get to fool me once
Before you hit a wall
I see straight through you
Doesn't take a second glance
You had your window open
You won't get another chance
Never put me in a position
Where I have to show you
How cold
I've learned to be
Some things only make sense in the dark alone
And I made a home there — I made it my own
I'm Dyeana — I survived what should've ended me
Nick Betschart — built an empire out of debris
We don't do cheap love, we don't perform for the crowd
Made in China stays behind
We came through too loud
I looked people in the eye and lied like breathing
Like it cost me nothing — like they meant nothing
Chased a high that made me somebody's reason
To stop expecting anything from anyone
I was the warning other people gave their sons
A junkie with a mouth full of borrowed time
Burning every bridge and calling it a sunrise
Until the smoke cleared and I couldn't recognize
The face inside the mirror — so I held it
Held the weight of everything I chose to be
Broke it down to something I could build from
Family first — and then the rest is history
I don't explain myself
To people built of smoke
No time for borrowed pain
Or wounds worn like a coat
You want the man I am now?
Then earn it — or step back
I came from rock bottom
And I came back
Never put me in a position
Where I have to show you how cold I've learned to be
Some things only make sense in the dark alone
And I made a home there — I made it my own
I'm Dyeana — I survived what should've ended me
Nick Betschart — built an empire out of debris
We don't do cheap love, we don't perform for the crowd
Made in China stays behind
We came through too loud
You want to know the difference between us and them?
We didn't dress the fall up as a lesson
We fell all the way down
Didn't ask permission to get back up
Didn't post it
Didn't explain it
Didn't need an audience for it
That's not a comeback story
That's just who we became
When nobody was watching
Every city skyline she moves through now
Every room she enters she already knows the game
Spent years becoming impossible to fool
Now she's the one that they paid to be around
Two names, one standard — zero tolerance
For anything that doesn't hold
When you push it
Never put me in a position
Where I have to show you how cold I've learned to be
Some things only make sense in the dark alone
And I made a home there — I made it my own
I made it my own
