Built From Ruin

[Verse 1] Low keys strike, echoing in a hollow room I was choking on the wreckage of my own doom Everything I built turned to dust in my palm Standing in the storm while I tried to keep calm Bleeding on the concrete, staring at the dark Waiting for a savior, but nobody left a mark So I wiped off the blood, froze my heart into stone Realized if I perish, I’ll be dying all alone. [Verse 2] I wiped out the past, erased every name I refused to be a pawn in another person's game Left with empty pockets and a soul full of scars Counting every loss as I looked up at the stars They wanted me broken, they wished to see me crawl Left me in the rubble with my back against the wall Violins screeching while the 808 glides Now I’m turning all the trauma into motherfucking pride! [Chorus] I had to lose my world to build a brand new throne! Burned down the past just to stand here alone! No handouts, no mercy, everything on my terms! Rising from the ashes like the lesson that it earns! Look me in my eyes, see the fire in the dark! I took my whole ruin and I turned it into art! [Verse 3] Heavy bass hitting, sub shaking in the floor I don't knock on opportunity, I kick down the door Architect of pain, I designed my own escape No longer playing victim to the shadow and the shape I laid the new foundation with my own bruised hands Forged in E minor, now they listen to commands Scratched through the dirt till my fingers were bone Now I rule this kingdom and I built it on my own! [Chorus] I had to lose my world to build a brand new throne! Burned down the past just to stand here alone! No handouts, no mercy, everything on my terms! Rising from the ashes like the lesson that it earns! Look me in my eyes, see the fire in the dark! I took my whole ruin and I turned it into art! [Bridge] (Tremolo violins swelling, heavy bass slides) They thought loss was my end, but it was my design! I destroyed my old life just to claim what is mine! No regrets for the wreckage, no tears for the ghost I am the one that I relied on the most! I rule my own fate! I dictate my own terms! Feel the ground shake as my old world burns! [Outro] (Sparse heavy piano strikes, fading 808) I lost everything... Just to find myself. No masters. No gods. On my terms. Forever.
