[Intro]

[Intro] (Instrumental Solo) [Verse 1] Fourteen with a circuit clamped in my fist Seventeen building chaos no one list They screamed "slow down, take the safe, straight line" I twisted the key and let the engine ignite South Florida sweat baking through my bones Midnight code stitching up the broken tones I learned young no one carves your name in stone You burn it bright where the embers grow [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been counted out, I’ve been counted down But every time I hit the ground [Chorus] I’m still standing in the fire Heart wired higher and higher You can’t kill what won’t retire I was born to walk the wire Every scar’s a battle cry Every fall just fuels the fight I don’t fade, I rise Still standing in the fire [Verse 2] Cold exam lights burning into my skin They said "son, this is where your story ends" Widowmaker ticking at a hundred percent Steel in my chest, but I never bent Three times through the reaper’s razor line Watched death blink and step back out of mine Cancer knocked hard at my bedroom door I kicked it down and yelled "give me more" [Pre-Chorus] I don’t bow to fear, I don’t disappear When the darkness pulls me near [Chorus] I’m still standing in the fire Heart wired higher and higher You can’t kill what won’t retire I was born to walk the wire Every scar’s a battle cry Every fall just fuels the fight I don’t fade, I rise Still standing in the fire [Bridge] I built from dust, lost it all twice over Watched my own empires crack and cover Motel walls and empty whiskey bars Late-night dreams beneath the dimming stars They call it luck, they call it blind fate I call it waking up too late And choosing not to rot down there Breathing hard in burning air [Breakdown] I am not the almost man Not the headline they once planned I rewrite what they declare I survive. I repair. [Final Chorus] I’m still standing in the fire Heart wired higher and higher You can’t break what won’t expire I was born to walk the wire Every scar’s a battle cry Every fall just fuels the fight I don’t fade, I rise Still standing [Tag] Still standing In the fire [Outro] (Instrumental Solo)
