I wore a crown of thorns beneath my hair, And learned to disappear when no one cared. [Pre-Chorus] I carved my worth into a dying tree, Still every broken branch accused me. I chased the silence down a bottle-blackened road, Till I couldn't tell my body from the ghost. [Chorus] My scars know the dark, But the dark doesn't know me. My scars know the grave, But the grave couldn't hold me. I rose, I rose, I rose from the dead. I rose, I rose, With the ghosts in my head. My scars know the dark, But they don't define me. My scars know the dark— And the dark couldn't keep me. [Verse 2] There were nights when the moon looked like a blade, And I wondered if my absence would fade. I stood where the living and the lost divide, With a thousand little reasons not to survive. [Pre-Chorus] I gave my soul to anything that made me numb, Built a throne from all the places I came from. I mistook destruction for a place called home, Till I learned even ruins grow their own. [Chorus] My scars know the dark, But the dark doesn't know me. My scars know the grave, But the grave couldn't hold me. I rose, I rose, I rose from the dead. I rose, I rose, With the ghosts in my head. My scars know the dark, But they don't define me. My scars know the dark— And the dark couldn't keep me. [Bridge] I am not the child they couldn't understand, Not the addict with the ashes in their hands. I am not the nights I begged to disappear, Not the years I spent believing I was fear. I am not the grave beneath my history— I am the one who climbed out underneath. [Instrumental Solo] [Final Chorus] My scars know the dark, But the dark doesn't know me. My scars know the grave, But the grave couldn't hold me. I rose, I rose, I rose from the dead. I rose, I rose, With the ghosts in my head. My scars know the dark, But they don't define me. My scars know the dark— And the dark couldn't keep me.
