Still Standing
Verse 1
I’ve been dragged through the dirt,
Had my name carved in scars,
Every promise I trusted
Turned to rust, turned to shards.
I’ve tasted the bottom,
Felt the weight of the fall,
But I learned in the darkness
I don’t break —[ I evolve.]
Pre-Chorus
You can doubt me,
You can doubt my soul,
But the fire you lit
[Is out of control.]
Chorus
[I’M STILL STANDING IN THE STORM,
WITH MY FISTS UP, BLOOD AND WORN,
I WAS BENT BUT NEVER BROKEN,
EVERY WOUND LEFT ME OPEN —
TO BECOME SOMETHING MORE.
I’M STILL BREATHING, STILL ALIVE,
HEAR MY HEART IN EVERY STRIDE,
YOU CAN TRY BUT YOU CAN’T KILL
WHAT WAS BORN TO SURVIVE.]
Verse 2
I’ve been counted out,
Left for dead in the rain,
They said I’d never make it,
Said I’d drown in the pain.
But pressure makes diamonds,
And pain makes the brave,
[I turned all the fear
Into fuel for the flame.]
Pre-Chorus
Every night that broke me down
Built the man I am now.
Chorus
[I’M STILL STANDING IN THE STORM,
WITH MY FISTS UP, BLOOD AND WORN,
I WAS BENT BUT NEVER BROKEN,
EVERY WOUND LEFT ME OPEN —
TO BECOME SOMETHING MORE.
I’M STILL BREATHING, STILL ALIVE,
HEAR MY HEART IN EVERY STRIDE,
YOU CAN TRY BUT YOU CAN’T KILL
WHAT WAS BORN TO SURVIVE.]
Breakdown (Heavy / Half-Time)
Try to bury me
I’LL RISE.
Try to silence me
I’LL FIGHT.
Every scar is a battle I won,
Every breath says I’M NOT DONE.
Bridge (Build → Explode)
I’ve lost it all, I’ve felt the end,
But I’d do it again to feel this strength,
I’m not your ghost, I’m not your past,
I’m the echo that’s built to last.
Final Chorus (Bigger / Last Stand)
[I’M STILL STANDING IN THE STORM,
UNBREAKABLE TO THE CORE,
I WAS BENT BUT NEVER BROKEN,
EVERY WOUND LEFT ME OPEN —
NOW I KNOW WHAT I’M HERE FOR.
I’M STILL BREATHING, STILL ALIVE,
WATCH ME RISE IN REAL TIME,
YOU CAN TRY BUT YOU CAN’T KILL
WHAT WAS BORN TO SURVIVE.]
Outro
I didn’t fall —
[I FORGED MYSELF IN THE FIRE.]
