Lyric

Born in the shadow of a broken home

A child of silence, watching alone

Dreams of six strings lit my veins

But the weight of voices pulled the chains

At twenty-two, I let it die

Forced to bow to the “real life” lie

I learned the tongues, I built my way

But cruel hands struck me day by day

This is my life, my anthem of scars

Falling through ashes, reaching for stars

I bled, I failed, I broke, I burned

But still I rose, my spirit returned

Through shame, through pain, I stand and scream:

I am alive inside the dream!

I built the walls, I watched them fall

The voices cursed, “You’re nothing at all!”

With death so near, I chose to fight

A vow to burn my soul to light

I lost, betrayed, I crossed the line

But still I gave where none would shine

Mothers crying, I hid my hand

A quiet strength they’d never understand

Twice I drowned, twice I fell

Carved my fate through living hell

Fortune turned, the tide obeyed

And in the storm, a path was made

This is my life, my anthem of scars

Falling through ashes, reaching for stars

I bled, I failed, I broke, I burned

But still I rose, my spirit returned

Through shame, through pain, I stand and scream:

I am alive inside the dream!

Alive…

Through ruin and flame

Alive…

Though nothing’s the same

Alive…

Though I bear the scars

Alive…

This life is mine!
