Rise

Ripped sails dragging through the teeth of the storm Shattered compass spinning, can't tell south from north Splintered deck under bare feet, I don't step, I grind Voice hoarse from screaming at the gale, still I don't die Ribs like broken masts, every breath cuts deep Saltwater lungs, I cough the sea in my sleep Anchor chain snapping, I hear that metal scream Rescue flare in my fist like a last-ditch dream Coast guard signal, I throw it through the rain Shaking in the wreck, but I say my own name The hull keeps cracking, the whole world tilts Still I pull my weight through the wreck it built I rise from the wreckage I rise from the wreckage Pulse becoming the new rhythm Pulse becoming the new rhythm I rise from the wreckage I rise from the wreckage Saltwater lungs, still I sing Cracked lens above me, I don't sink Ripped sails in tatters, but I cut them loose Shattered compass on the boards, I make my own route Splintered deck under bare feet, blood on the grain Voice hoarse from screaming, now I call through the pain Ribs like broken masts, but I stand in the sway Anchor chain snapping, I leave the dead weight Rescue flare burns out, still my hands stay high Coast guard signal blinking while I climb that line The hull is a ruin, the mast is a scar Saltwater lungs, I still know who we are Every dar of my chest, every step in the foam Pulse becoming the new rhythm, I make it home I rise from the wreckage I rise from the wreckage Pulse becoming the new rhythm Pulse becoming the new rhythm I rise from the wreckage I rise from the wreckage Saltwater lungs, still I sing Cracked lens above me, I don't sink Bare feet on splintered deck, I take what remains Anchor chain snapping, and I welcome the strain Ribs like broken masts, but they hold when I breathe Coast guard signal, that's the proof I still leave I rise from the wreckage I rise from the wreckage Pulse becoming the new rhythm Pulse becoming the new rhythm I rise from the wreckage I rise from the wreckage Saltwater lungs, still I sing Cracked lens above me, I don't sink
