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!
