Still Burning Gold lyrics

I didn't come out clean I came out shining anyway Hands still shaking, but I stand tall Every crack learned how to glow They thought I'd fade into the dark But the dark just taught me tone Every word I swallowed whole Every tear I hid in smoke I didn't lose myself in flames I learned how not to choke If this is what it costs to feel I'll pay it slow, I'll pay it real No crown, no throne, no borrowed light Just what survived the night I'm still burning gold Under broken skin Still burning gold From the wars within They tried to break the mold Tried to take control But I'm still burning Still burning gold I've danced with doubt, I've kissed the edge I've heard the lies dressed up as care Every promise made of glass Shattered loud, I stayed there I don't need to be untouched I don't need to be new I just need to be real And still standing through If I'm scarred, let it show Every mark already knows I didn't fall, I didn't fold I came back burning gold I'm still burning gold Under broken skin Still burning gold From the wars within They tried to name my wounds Like they owned my soul But I'm still burning Still burning gold I thought fire would take me But it taught me how to stay I'm still burning gold Hear my name in the flame Still burning gold I survived the change No halo, no disguise Just truth I can hold I didn't come out perfect I came out gold Still here Still glowing
