Back on the Page

I fell of the map, now I'm back in the ink

Pages were silent but I still used to think

Time in the dark made my vision expand

Now I'm writing my fate with a pen in my hand

Every scar on my soul is a line in my art

Every loss that I took had a role in my start

They forgot my name, I was dust in the wind

Now I'm craving it deeper where the legends begin

No shortcuts here, I was built from the grind

Had to lose all the noise just to sharpen my mind

Every doubt that they spoke was a weight that I dropped

Now I'm climbing back up and I won't ever stop

Back on the page where the stories ignite

Turning all of my wrongs into something that's right

Used to walk in the gray, now I walk in the flame

Every line that I write resurrects my name

From the bottom I rose, now I'm higher than before

Every chapter I bleed makes 'em beg for some more

I remember the nights when the silence was loud

Had a storm in my chest but I stood in the crowd

Fake friends faded out when the pressure got real

Now I know what is truth and I know how to feel

I don't chase what I lost, I replace what I need

Every verse is a seed that I plant when I breathe

Now the ink turns gold when it hits the page

Every line I compose is a break from the cage

I was lost in the fog but I learned how to see

Now the pen is my weapon and it's setting me free

No more running from ghosts that I used to create

I rewrite every fate that they said was my state

So I'm back on the page with a fire that's real

Every word is a scar that I learned how to heal

This is more than a verse, it's a war I survived

Every sentence I write proves I'm still alive

And when they read my name, they'll remember the sound

Of a soul that was lost... but then turned it around
