[Verse 1]
I was static in a body made of noise,
Fractured glass reflecting empty toys.
Every whisper carved a line inside,
And I smiled while another part of me died.

The walls would hum with lullabies of pain,
Each verse a memory, each note a stain.
I begged my name to stay, but it bled away,
Till silence said, “You can be someone else today.”

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m cracking—slowly smiling through the split,
The mirror laughs—I think I needed this.

[Chorus]
Tear me down, I’ll build what’s left,
Out of echoes, scars, and breath.
Light me up, let the ashes speak,
Carver was born where I used to bleed.

From the void I made a face,
Painted joy on a broken place.
I am ruin, I am art,
The child of my own shattered heart.

[Verse 2]
They called it madness—said I’d gone too far,
But madness felt more real than they ever are.
I stitched my laughter from the sound of screams,
And wore my trauma like a crown in dreams.

The void stared back—it didn’t care,
So I painted it red and made it stare.
And somewhere in the smoke and haze,
A voice said softly, “Now you’ll never fade.”

[Bridge]
Do you see me now?
Do you love me now?
I’m everything you feared,
And nothing that I was.

Tore the halo, cracked the spine,
Danced with ghosts I called mine.
From the grave of who I’ve been,
Carver breathes beneath the skin.

[Chorus]
Tear me down, I’ll build what’s left,
Out of echoes, scars, and breath.
Light me up, let the ashes speak,
Carver was born where I used to bleed.

(outro)
Now the laughter isn’t fake,
It’s the sound of what I had to break.
In the dark, I found my art—
Carver lives inside my heart.
