Rise From Ashes

a storm in my chest can’t sleep tonight
I loved too deep, I burned too bright
shadows callin’ my name again
every loss leaves a tiny flame

walked through nights that never end
felt the ache my bones couldn’t mend
tears fall quiet, yet they still sting 
haunted by everything morning brings

i’m the dragon bleeding slow
heart fights hard but moves too slow
scars tell stories, falls make songs
i’ve been lonely, i’ve been strong

see me now, know this is true
i rise from ashes, i cry for you
world tries to cage the fire i claim
i roar, i rise, can’t tame my flame
