Seven Steps To Die - Bruises
About this track
Bruises that you never see Hidden underneath your sleeves Whispers turning into knives Every hallway you survive Mirror says you’re not enough Echoes of their poison love But every word they throw at you Says more about them than it does about you When the lights go out and you’re alone And the weight feels like a stone You don’t have to fight this on your own You don’t have to carry it alone We can turn the pain into a sound Scream it out until it all falls down Let your voice break through the violence You are louder than the silence Hold my hand, we’ll make it through Every scar just proves it’s true Locked inside a crowded room Still you feel the lonely truth Laughing like it doesn’t sting While they pull apart your wings But there’s a crack inside the wall Where the light can touch it all If you let somebody in That’s where healing can begin Every secret that you hide Only makes the dark grow wide You don’t have to fight this on your own You don’t have to carry it alone We can turn the pain into a sound Sing it out until it all falls down Let your tears fall like the rain Wash away the doubt and shame Hold my hand, we’ll make it through I believe in you They don’t define your heart They don’t decide your worth You are more than every word They ever said to hurt So speak it out, don’t let it stay The monsters shrink in light of day And friends can be the shield you need We’re stronger when we bleed If you’re shaking, I’ll stay If you’re breaking, I won’t walk away We’ll turn the scars into art Piece by piece, heart to heart You don’t have to fight this on your own You were never meant to be alone We can turn the pain into a flame Burn it bright and say your name Let your voice shake up the sky You deserve to feel alive Hold my hand, we’ll make it through Me and you
