Lyrics Barely Surviving
[Verse 1]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
But through the darkness, I found a way
Clinging to life, through the endless gray
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I almost fell, I almost lost
But I paid the price, I’ve paid the cost
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
I stumbled hard, but I didn’t break
With every scar, my soul would wake
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Through shattered dreams and endless night
I found my way back to the light
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
