Lyrics: Dean OShaughnessy
Music: Dean OShaughnessy
I shook the dust off
But it still clings to my skin
Every old memory
Pulls me right back in
I’ve walked through fire
But I’m still learning to breathe
Trying to find out
What’s left of me
And I don’t want the past
To set the shape of who I’ll be
So tell me there’s a way
To break free
Ohhh-ohhh
’Cause I’m standing in the wreckage
But I’m not on my knees
I’m learning how to rise
From a life I had to leave
Yeah the pieces on the ground
Aren’t the end — they’re the key
I’m rebuilding from the ashes
Of what remains of me
Whoa-oh whoa-oh
What remains of me
Some days I feel stronger
Some days I cave in
The truth hits harder
When you let it sink in
But every scar shining
Is a map I can read
Pointing the way toward
Who I can be
And I don’t want the weight
Dragging down the rest of me
So tell me there’s a light
I can see
Ohhh-ohhh
’Cause I’m standing in the wreckage
But I’m not on my knees
I’m learning how to rise
From a life I had to leave
Yeah the pieces on the ground
Aren’t the end — they’re the key
I’m rebuilding from the ashes
Of what remains of me
Whoa-oh whoa-oh ohhh-ahhh-ohhh
What remains of me
Yeah-yeah whoa-oh-oh
I won’t run from the damage
I’ve carried too long
I’m done fearing the shadows
I’m learning I’m strong
If the world falls apart
I’ll still find what I need
In the embers that whisper
What remains of me
Whoa-ohhh
’Cause I’m standing in the wreckage
But I’m not on my knees
I’m learning how to rise
From a life I had to leave
Yeah the pieces on the ground
Aren’t the end — they’re the key
I’m rebuilding from the ashes
Of what remains of me
Whoa-oh whoa-oh ohhh-ahhh-ohhh
What remains of me
