Survive silence

Still... fucking... breathing... Born in the furnace, fists instead of love Starved on scraps, learned to eat the hate Clawed through the nights, swallowed every shove Kept the fire inside so it wouldn't break I stayed alive! Through the hell you gave! Raged against the cage, paid in blood and days! Now I'm old, fists still clenched, nothing left to save An empty shell screaming at the grave! Nothing... just rage... and the grave... Worked till the body begged for death to come Dreams got crushed under boots and lies Love tried once, then ran from the damage done Left me howling at the empty skies I stayed alive! Through the storm that tore! Carried every scar, every fucking war! Now the mirror laughs, old man on the floor Nothing in these hands... nothing anymore! What the fuck was it for?! All this pain I bore?! Years of bleeding just to rot on this shore?! Mirror shows a corpse with my eyes full of fire Still raging... still suffering... still a liar... I stayed alive... Through the worst that could be thrown... Now the house is dead, the fire's gone Old man with nothing... just the echo of the storm Nothing... NOTHING LEFT TO MOURN! Sit in the ruins where the paint fell away Road never brought anyone back to stay Photos are dust, names I burned away Survived the inferno... just to fade to gray Kept the breath... through the rage... through the night... Old man with nothing... still here... still fighting...
