[Intro]
I may not have amazing victories…
But I can amaze you… with the defeats…
That I came out of… alive…
[Verse 1]
Broken teeth in the mirror, smile like a scar
Another round in the dirt, another stolen star
They kept score on my back, carved it deep in my skin
Every time I hit the ground I learned how to begin again Crawling through the static, choking on the fame
Everybody’s waving flags, but they don’t know my name
I don’t need your trophies, don’t need your parade
Just the blood in my mouth and the fire that it made
[Pre-Chorus]
No heroes in this story, no crowns upon my head
Just a list of things that tried to kill me…
And left me here for dead
[Chorus]
I may not have amazing victories!
But I can amaze you with the defeats!
That I came out of alive!
Yeah I came out of alive! Scars like roadmaps, bruises like gold
Every time the darkness took me, I stole back my soul
I may not have amazing victories!
But watch me breathe… watch me breathe…
I’m still alive!
[Verse 2]
Woke up in the wreckage with the wolves at my throat
They said “give up, stay down,” I said “motherfucker, nope”
Sirens in my skull and the rain on the glass
Another funeral for the man I used to be in the past They love the shining winners, the ones who never fall
But I built my cathedral from the bricks of every wall
That crushed me, that hushed me, that tried to end the song
I turned the pain to power, now the power’s where I belong
[Pre-Chorus 2]
No flags, no glory, no ticker-tape parade
Just a crooked grin in the mirror saying
“Kid, you made it through another day”
[Chorus]
I may not have amazing victories!
But I can amaze you with the defeats!
That I came out of alive!
Yeah I came out of alive!
[bridge]
Let them have the mountaintops…
I’ll take the graves I climbed out of…
Let them wear their perfect crowns…
I’ll wear the dirt still stuck to my skin…
This is my victory…
This ugly, breathing thing…
ALIVE! ALIVE! ALIVE!
[Final chorus]
I may not have amazing victories!
But goddamn I’ll amaze you with the defeats!
That I came out of alive!
I came out of alive! Every bone they broke, every dream they burned
Every time the reaper called, I never fucking learned
To stay down… to stay down…
I’m still alive!
[outro]
No amazing victories…
Just the defeats I walked out of…
Still breathing…
Still bleeding…
Still alive…
