Lyrics

I was duct-taped to my damage thought pain was my glue Smiled through the wreckage like it's all I ever knew Hope was just a rumor I could never defend Till mercy cut the sirens and my running met its end Born in a fault line tremors in my speech Pockets full of idols always close in reach I bartered with the shadows traded peace for pride Put a crown on my addictions let 'em chauffeur while I lied Ghosted every warning muted wisdom cranked the noise Laughed at lifelines like a bully with his toys Stitched my secrets tight with thread of lame excuses Said I'd quit tomorrow-each "quit" bred abuses Jacket made of grudges zipper made of blame Playlist full of pity hit repeat and called it fame Saw the cross as dรฉcor faith as just a style Quoted verses like receipts while living hostile Dragged my coffin daily called it grind and hustle hard Hell hid in the fine print of my every business card Broken by the world and the wages of my sin But a nail-scarred hand reached deeper than the mess I'm in When the night tried to own me and the chains said stay Grace kicked in the door and pulled me out the gray From the ash to the anthem from the crack to the whole I was dead in the static-now He's tuning my soul I'm not what I did; I'm becoming what He spoke Choking on the dark till He taught me how to hope He met me in my ruins didn't flinch at the flies Breathed life in my lungs while I confessed my lies Took the ledger of my debt read the charges one by one Stamped "Paid in Full" in crimson by the power of the Son Peeled my fingers off the cliff I called control Took my habit like a hammer rebuilt my soul Taught me war is kneelin' strength is to forgive The loudest kind of livin' is the will to live Cleaned the rusted gears inside my heart Turned my pain into a spark that could restart Now I carry mercy's banner not a trophy for my name But a map for wanderers still walkin' through the flame I ain't flawless or finished but the anchor holds And the winter in my marrow's melting into gold Broken by the world and the wages of my sin But a nail-scarred hand reached deeper than the mess I'm in When the night tried to own me and the chains said stay Grace kicked in the door and pulled me out the gray From the ash to the anthem from the crack to the whole I was dead in the static-now He's tuning my soul I'm not what I did; I'm becoming what He spoke Choking on the dark till He taught me how to hope I laid my anger on the altar watched it burn to light Let truth convict my habits while compassion learned to fight If the valley's where you're livin' and the fog has got you blind There's a Shepherd in the shadows callin' you by mind If you're drownin' in the noise I know the sound that splits the sea- That whisper in the whirlwind sayin' "Come and walk with Me" Every scar's a syllable in testimonies I spit Failures turn to fertilizer where His promises sit Used to flex a fragile throne now I boast in what He's done Turned my grave to a garden my night to a sun When the tempter brings my highlight reel of all I wrecked I show the greater headline: Redeemed not correct This ain't moral polish or rules I try to keep It's tombstone-bustin' power wakin' captives from their sleep I march with quiet thunder mercy woven in my tone Peace beyond the metrics joy that doesn't need a phone I still stumble I still struggle but I stumble toward the Light- Not perfect just pursued-and He pursues me through the night Broken by the world and the wages of my sin But a nail-scarred hand reached deeper than the mess I'm in When the night tried to own me and the chains said stay Grace kicked in the door and pulled me out the gray From the ash to the anthem from the crack to the whole I was dead in the static-now He's tuning my soul I'm not what I did; I'm becoming what He spoke Choking on the dark till He taught me how to hope If you're countin' all your losses like a currency of shame Trade the ledger for His letters-He already knows your name When the world says "You're a fracture" He says "Child you're My art" He will meet you in the breaking and rewrite your beating heart
