Barely Surviving

The ground was shaking, the sky turned black
A storm of pain, there's no turning back
The blow was harder than I ever knew
I felt my soul split in two

But through the darkness, I found a way
Clinging to life, through the endless gray

Wounds so deep, I could barely stand
Fighting through with shaking hands
I searched for strength, but found it thin
The battle raged beneath my skin
But here I am, though I barely made it
Torn and scarred, I won't evade it
Mighty fall, but I'm still alive
Barely surviving, but I'll rise

The mirror shows a face I barely know
Broken pieces, where I used to glow
I clawed my way through fire and ash
Every step, a painful crash

I almost fell, I almost lost
But I paid the price, I've paid the cost

Wounds so deep, I could barely stand
Fighting through with shaking hands
I searched for strength, but found it thin
The battle raged beneath my skin
But here I am, though I barely made it
Torn and scarred, I won't evade it
Mighty fall, but I'm still alive
Barely surviving, but I'll rise

Exhausted, drained, but I still breathe
The scars remain, but I believe
That through the pain, I found my way
The light will break another day

Wounds so deep, I could barely stand
Fighting through with shaking hands
I searched for strength, but found it thin
The battle raged beneath my skin
But here I am, though I barely made it
Torn and scarred, I won't evade it
Mighty fall, but I'm still alive
Barely surviving, but I'll rise

I walked the edge, staring at the fall
The silence screamed, I heard it call
The weight of all I've lost was great
But I kept moving, defying fate

I stumbled hard, but I didn't break
With every scar, my soul would wake

Wounds so deep, I could barely stand
Fighting through with shaking hands
I searched for strength, but found it thin
The battle raged beneath my skin
But here I am, though I barely made it
Torn and scarred, I won't evade it
Mighty fall, but I'm still alive
Barely surviving, but I'll rise

The road ahead still feels so long
But every step makes me strong
I've faced the worst, I've faced my fear
Now I know I belong right here

Through shattered dreams and endless night
I found my way back to the light

Wounds so deep, I could barely stand
Fighting through with shaking hands
I searched for strength, but found it thin
The battle raged beneath my skin
But here I am, though I barely made it
Torn and scarred, I won't evade it
Mighty fall, but I'm still alive
Barely surviving, but I'll rise

Tired and broken, I still stand tall
Through the fire, I survived it all
Barely surviving, but I'll rise
With strength reborn, I'll touch the skies
