Back Out Alive

Haruhii

In
Out

Walked straight through the fire
Didn't trip, didn't pray
Knew the smell of the smoke
Knew exactly what stayed
No angels, no favors
No debt left unpaid
Some doors don't trap you
They just show you the cage

Didn't lose myself
Didn't burn it down
Just checked the damage
Then turned around

Went back to the fire
Didn't ask it to change
Let it show me its teeth
Then stepped out of the flames
I've been here before
I know how it sounds
This wasn't a fall
Just a visit
And I'm back out now

Pain talks loud when it's new
Then it learns how to lie
Says stay a little longer
Like it owns your spine
No throne in the ashes
No truth in the crowd
If hell wants my attention
It better speak up now

Didn't fight
Didn't freeze
Just remembered
Who bleeds

Went back to the fire
Just to end the debate
Let it show me its limits
Let it test my weight
I've burned, I've cracked
Still standing my ground
This wasn't a fall
Just a visit
And I'm back out now

I don't live there
But I know the address
That's how scars
Learn respect

Went back to the fire
Didn't bow, didn't beg
Took the heat for a second
Then stepped over the edge
I've died here once or twice
I've learned how to get out
This wasn't a fall
Just a visit
And I'm back out now

Still breathing
Still choosing
