“Built From the Fall”

[Intro] Yeah… They thought the story ended when I hit the ground But rock bottom ain’t the grave — it’s the turnaround [Verse 1] I was drowning in the dark where the silence lives Running from the truth and the pain I hid Every bad decision like a brick in the wall Till the weight got heavy and I started to fall Mirror looking back like “who is that man?” Hands shaking while I’m reaching for a second chance I broke every promise that I swore I’d keep Now I’m building something stronger from the shattered pieces Yeah I carried that guilt like a chain on my chest Every night fighting wars in my head with regret But the fire in the wreckage lit a spark in me And the man I was dying is the man I’ll leave [Chorus] I was buried in the ashes of the life I burned But the fire didn’t kill me — it’s the lesson learned Every scar on my soul is a line in the song I was broken for a minute but I’m building strong From the fall From the pain From the nights in the rain I was lost in the dark but I found my name Yeah the past tried to hold me but it lost control Now redemption’s in the driver and I’m taking the road [Verse 2] Yeah I walked through the valley with a shadow behind Every lie that I told trying to poison my mind But the truth hit harder than the guilt ever could Now I’m carving new paths through the stone and the wood I ain’t perfect — nah I’m far from clean But grace hit different when you’ve seen what I’ve seen Every prayer in the dark like a rope from above Pulling me up from the mud with a force called love Now I stand on the wreckage of the man I was Every step that I take is a war I’ve won If the past comes knocking I just look it dead And remind that ghost that I ain’t him again [Chorus] I was buried in the ashes of the life I burned But the fire didn’t kill me — it’s the lesson learned Every scar on my soul is a line in the song I was broken for a minute but I’m building strong From the fall From the pain From the nights in the rain I was lost in the dark but I found my name Yeah the past tried to hold me but it lost control Now redemption’s in the driver and I’m taking the road [Bridge] They said I’d never change Said I’d stay the same But the chains fell off when I spoke His name Now the man in the mirror finally looks alive And the kid that I was would be proud tonight [Final Hook] From the ashes From the scars From the nights behind bars of my own regret I ain’t finished yet I was built from the fall Yeah I stood back tall And redemption wrote the ending that they never saw
