[Verse] Crack the door, the stale air hits my face Mildew walls wear scars I can't erase Sweat drips down from broken pipes inside This underground’s my battlefield and pride [Pre-Chorus] Grime and shadows call my name Broken dreams, but I’m not tamed [Chorus] Smell that fire, burning low Basement breath, but watch me grow In this sweat and mold I cope Rising up on wings of hope [Verse] Flicker light stabs through the black decay Every breath is proof I’m here to stay Scratch and claw through dirt and rust and pain No clean sheets could wash away this flame [Pre-Chorus] Grime and shadows call my name Broken dreams, but I’m not tamed [Chorus] Smell that fire, burning low Basement breath, but watch me grow In this sweat and mold I cope Rising up on wings of hope [Bridge] Echoes scream, but I don’t break Chains are thrown, but I won’t shake In the stink, I claim my throne This is mine — I’m not alone [Chorus] Smell that fire, burning low Basement breath, but watch me grow In this sweat and mold I cope Rising up on wings of hope [Outro] Breath is thick, but I’m alive From this pit, I will survive Smell that fire, never choke Born from sweat and born from hope
