we were raised kings of nowhere didn t know the names of our fathers born knee deep in deep water they said we d never go anywhere but look at you glowing in the dim light knocked down but ready for a fist fight when they push you push harder no choice gotta fight back every time i want to know who ever broke you i want to know how you can grow bigger don t go looking for some kind of rescue you are the only one who can save you we are we are more than our scars we are we are more than the sum of our parts we are we are more than our scars we are we are more than the sum of our parts i spent years of my life with chipped teeth in war paint waiting for someone to fix me come pick me up now i m on the corners of my city streets i m staring at the second chance eyes they forgot about i burn bright i burn bright 2
