[Verse 1]
Wake up
Same ceiling, same stain
Coffee gone cold
Same ache in my brain
Scroll through
Same faces, same lies
Tell me I'm fine
While I'm dead in my eyes
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart like a bruise that never fades
Smile like a scar I had to fake
If this is all I get today
Then I refuse to break
[Chorus]
Always and forever
I've been carried by the pain
Every day's the same dull blade
Carving out my name
Everything to lose now
Nothing left to gain
So I'm swinging at the shadow
Till it learns my name
(always and forever)
I won't die the same
[Verse 2]
Late night
Alley of my thoughts
Kicked in the ribs
By the things I'm not
Hands shake
Lighting one more smoke
Counting my ribs
Like tally marks of hope
[Pre-Chorus]
If every step just feels like weight
I'll drag these chains till they degrade
If this is all I get today
Then I refuse to fade
[Chorus]
Always and forever
I've been carried by the pain
Every day's the same dull blade
Carving out my name
Everything to lose now
Nothing left to gain
So I'm screaming at the echo
Till it fears my name
(always and forever)
I won't die the same
[Bridge]
I was built to break, I thought
Now I crack the cage, I fought
All this pressure in my chest
Turns these bones to steel, I guess (yeah)
[Chorus]
Always and forever
I've been carried by the pain
Every day's the same old grave
I'm climbing from again
Everything to lose now
Nothing left to gain
So I'll burn this tired script
And rewrite my name
(always and forever)
I won't die the same
(always and forever)
I come back again
