Bottom of the ladder, hands still bleeding
Everyone talking but no one meaning
Bills on the counter, doubt in my head
Hope on life support, dreams on read
They said: Wait your turn, trust the plan
But the plan kept slipping through my hands
So I lit a match in the pouring rain
Just to see if I could still feel change
I hit the wall, I felt it crack
Either I rise or I stay flat
No one's coming to save you now
No holy rope, no higher ground
If you want out, you dig your way
Through the dirt, through the fear, through the weight
No one's coming to save your skin
So you fight like hell just to breathe again
When it feels like the end of you
That's the moment you break through
Fake friends fade when the lights go low
Everybody cheers when your numbers grow
But silence hits when you lose control
That's when you find out what you're made of though
I learned real fast who stays and who folds
Who sells their soul for a mouthful of gold
I kept my name when the pressure came
Now the same ones begging to say my name
They drew the line, I crossed it twice
You only lose if you don't survive
No one's coming to save you now
No holy rope, no higher ground
If you want out, you dig your way
Through the dirt, through the fear, through the weight
No one's coming to save your skin
So you fight like hell just to breathe again
When it feels like the end of you
That's the moment you break through
I stopped praying for open doors
When I learned how to make my own
If I fall, I fall forward now
With my fists still underground
Dig!
Dig your way out!
Dig!
Dig your way out!
No saviors!
No kings!
Just broken crowns and stubborn dreams!
No one's coming to save you now
But you don't need them anyhow
If you want out, you dig your way
Through the dirt, through the fear, through the weight
No one's coming to save your skin
So you fight like hell just to breathe again
When it feels like the end of you
That's the moment you break through
If this is the war for my heartbeat
Then I'm never waving white sheet
