[Verse 1]
Felt a snap in the silence
Rubber floor
Iron in my hands
One rep from feeling invincible
One step from hitting the sand
Now it’s white walls
Waiting rooms
Paper gowns and plastic chairs
Calendar full of checkups
But I’m still climbing stairs
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
I’m limping but I’m living
Every visit
Every stitch
You can see the scar is written
But you’ll never see me quit
[Chorus]
I tore my Achilles
Not my courage
You can’t cast the fire in me
Yeah
I’m stuck in this slow-motion story
But I’m still who I came to be
Every brace
Every band
Every redrawed plan
You can mark up my skin
You can count my scans
I tore my Achilles
Not my courage
You won’t break
You won’t break me
[Verse 2]
Screens glow with my insides
Strangers tapping on the glass
They measure angles
Talk in numbers
I just wanna heal and pass
But there’s a mirror in the hallway
Shows me standing
Jaw set tight
Crutch in hand like a battle flag
Dragging forward into light
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
I’m limping but I’m living
Every setback
Every stitch
You can see the strain is written
But you’ll never see me switch
[Chorus]
I tore my Achilles
Not my courage
You can’t cast the fire in me
Yeah
I’m stuck in this slow-motion story
But I’m still who I came to be
Every brace
Every band
Every redrawed plan
You can mark up my skin
You can count my scans
I tore my Achilles
Not my courage
You won’t break
You won’t break me
[Bridge]
Count the days
The scars
The miles
I’ll be back to loading plates (hey!)
Every setback
Every trial
Writes a tougher kind of fate
I’m the ache and the answer
I’m the fall and the stand
I’m the weight that feels heavier
But I still lift my own damn hands (oh!)
[Chorus]
I tore my Achilles
Not my courage
You can’t cast the fire in me
Yeah
I’m stuck in this slow-motion story
But I’m still who I came to be
Every brace
Every band
Every redrawed plan
You can mark up my skin
You can count my scans
I tore my Achilles
Not my courage
You won’t break
You won’t break me
[Outro]
Yeah
You won’t break
You won’t break me
In these halls
Under these lights
I walk back to my own life
Felt a snap in the silence
Rubber floor
Iron in my hands
One rep from feeling invincible
One step from hitting the sand
Now it’s white walls
Waiting rooms
Paper gowns and plastic chairs
Calendar full of checkups

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah
I’m limping but I’m living

النمط من الموسيقى
rock, Big modern rock anthem, male vocals; overdriven guitars locked with a gritty bass, tom-heavy drums. First verse starts tight and tense, palm-muted riffs and close, almost spoken vocal; pre-chorus lifts with open chords and rising backing oohs. Chorus explodes with crash-heavy groove and wide gang vocals on the hook. Bridge drops to half-time with octave guitars and shouted call-and-response, final chorus hits highest energy, stacked harmonies and a sustained feedback tail.
