From Ashes to a Mic

Verse

They tried to dim the lights in my room

Told me my dreams were a waste of breath

I learned to sing through the crack in the wall

I learned to live when they wanted less

Pre-chorus

Now I walk in with the whole room watching

Every scar turned into a spotlight

They made a storm, I made a name

Now I don’t flinch when they say my life

Chorus

I rose from the smoke, now I own the flame

You left me bruised, now I wear your shame

I made a throne out of what you broke

Now I take the mic and I cut throat cold

You want my fall, but I came for more

I’m a sold-out show and you’re still at the door

Verse

You talk so big from behind that door

But you never knew what it took to survive

I turned the pain into a gold-lined hook

And I made my hunger sound alive

Pre-chorus

Now I walk in with the whole room watching

Every scar turned into a spotlight

They made a storm, I made a name

Now I don’t flinch when they say my life

Chorus

I rose from the smoke, now I own the flame

You left me bruised, now I wear your shame

I made a throne out of what you broke

Now I take the mic and I cut throat cold

You want my fall, but I came for more

I’m a sold-out show and you’re still at the door

Bridge

So keep your little lies, keep your empty rage

I turned the cage into a center stage

Every word you threw became my name

And I sing it loud, I don’t feel that chain

Chorus

I rose from the smoke, now I own the flame

You left me bruised, now I wear your shame

I made a throne out of what you broke

Now I take the mic and I cut throat cold

You want my fall, but I came for more

I’m a sold-out show and you’re still at the door
