Lyrics

I found my name beneath the dust
On something I forgot I was
I kept the lights off for so long
I learned to see when they were gone
I thought the years would bury it
I thought the noise would cover it
But silence has a memory
And mine remembers everything
So tell me who I am
When the fire loses flame
When the anger has no enemy
And there's no one left to blame
I tore myself apart
Just to prove that I could change
Now I'm standing in the wreckage
Learning who I am again
I wore my damage like a crown
Built every door to lock me out
I got so good at getting through
I never asked what it would do
I thought surviving made me free
But survival followed me
And every road I took away
Led back to what I couldn't say
So tell me who I am
When the fire loses flame
When the anger has no enemy
And there's no one left to blame
I tore myself apart
Just to prove that I could change
Now I'm standing in the wreckage
Learning who I am again
Maybe I don't need forgiveness
For every version I've survived
Maybe all these broken pieces
Are proof that something stayed alive
I don't need to call it beautiful
I just need to stop destroying
What the years could never take
Now I know who I am
When the fire loses flame
I don't need another enemy
I don't need someone to blame
I won't tear myself apart
Just to prove I can withstand the pain
After all the armor falls
I will stay
I will stay
The room is quiet now
And for once
I don't need to leave
