More Than My Scars

Some days I wake and the weight is too strong, a battle I fought for far too long Pain in my hands, fire in my veins, trapped in a storm that never wanes I've been homeless in my own skin, lost in the dark with nowhere to begin Built my world then watched it fall, still standing here in spite of it all Still standing here in spite of it all Oh, the ghosts, they whisper my name, tell me I'm broken, tell me to fade But I'm still breathing, I'm still here, even drowning I fight through the fear I wear my scars like battle lines, proof that I've survived every time Woke up screaming, body in flames, hands that won't move but I take the blame Love slipped through like sand in the tide, now I talk to the stars just to keep her inside I've been silenced, left behind, begged for mercy, none to find But even when no one cared, I still held on, still stood there Still held on, still stood there Still held on Oh, the ghosts, they whisper my name, tell me I'm broken, tell me to fade But I'm still breathing, I'm still here, even drowning I fight through the fear I wear my scars like battle lines, proof that I've survived every time Maybe healing ain't a finish line, maybe strength is just staying alive Through the dark, through the rain, I still rise up, I still remain Oh, the ghosts, they whisper my name, tell me I'm broken, tell me to fade But I'm still breathing, I'm still here, even drowning I fight through the fear I wear my scars like battle lines, proof that I've survived every time Proof that I've survived every time Survived every time I am more than what haunts me, I will set myself free Life is for me
