Still Standing

I don't chase ghosts, I bury the past. Every scar I wear was made to last. Talk is cheap, I've heard it before. You keep knocking... I don't open that door. Built from fire, built from pain. Every loss became my gain. You can throw me to the wolves, watch me bare my teeth. The deeper that I fall, the harder that I breathe. I'm still standing! I'm still alive! Every wound keeps me alive! No surrender, no disguise! Watch me rise... through the fire! Your opinion never paid my bills. Your fake respect never gave me chills. I don't need another crown. Kings are born when the world falls down. Go ahead— say my name. Pour the gas... feed the flame. Every battle, every scar... made me who I am. I'm still standing! I'm still alive! Every wound keeps me alive! No surrender, no disguise! This is my war... This is my life! I don't break... I evolve.
