Last bite of bread, stretched through the night
Holding my breath for day-light
Walls feel thin, the dark so loud
One wrong step and it all falls down
Counting seconds, counting scars
Lighting fires just to see the stars
Functional chaos (hanging by a thread)
Half alive, but I’m not dead
Functional chaos (burning at both ends)
I break, I bend, I rise again
Tools worn down, can’t slow this pace
Shadows shift and I see their face
Every day’s a gamble, every move a cost
But I keep fighting till the fight is lost
Counting seconds, counting scars
Lighting fires just to see the stars
Functional chaos (hanging by a thread)
Half alive, but I’m not dead
Functional chaos (burning at both ends)
I break, I bend, I rise again
One heart beating in a brittle shell
Every close call just another tale to tell
You can steal the light, you can take the land
I still rise with dirt in my hands
Functional chaos (hanging by a thread)
Half alive, but I’m not dead
Functional chaos (burning at both ends)
I break, I bend, I rise again
I break, I bend… I rise again
