Built Beneath the Wreckage

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They drew a line across my door Said I was finished, nothing more I kept the dust beneath my nails A little proof I’d lived through hell [Pre-Chorus] You can count the cracks in me You can name what I have lost But every piece you tried to break Still remembers what it costs [Chorus] I won’t bow, I won’t disappear I’m still standing when the smoke clears Put your weight against my chest I’ll turn the pressure into strength You can push me to the edge I’ll come back harder than before I was built beneath the wreckage And I’m not yours anymore [Verse 2] There’s a scar beside my eye From every promise dressed as a lie I learned the sound of empty praise And stopped confusing it with faith [Pre-Chorus] You can count the cracks in me You can name what I have lost But every piece you tried to break Still remembers what it costs [Chorus] I won’t bow, I won’t disappear I’m still standing when the smoke clears Put your weight against my chest I’ll turn the pressure into strength You can push me to the edge I’ll come back harder than before I was built beneath the wreckage And I’m not yours anymore [Bridge] Let the ceiling fall Let the cold wind in I have faced the worst And I’m still here again No chain, no hand, no borrowed crown Can keep a living heart pinned down [Final Chorus] I won’t bow, I won’t disappear I’m still standing when the smoke clears Put your weight against my chest I’ll turn the pressure into strength You can push me to the edge I’ll come back harder than before I was built beneath the wreckage And I’m not yours anymore [Outro] Not yours anymore Still here Still standing
