Iron & Faith (Explicit)

I turned grief into mileage

Turned panic into reps

Put the weight where the ache was

'cause my heart was too heavy to lift

Nobody sees the war i'm in

Just the sweat on the floor

The scars on my knuckles

The silence when i leave the door

I don't train for aesthetics

I train so my body doesn't fold

Under the weight of a mind

That tried to kill me once before

Some men pray in churches

Some in quiet rooms

I pray under plates of steel

And hope the pain moves

Iron and faith

That's all i've got left

Building muscle where heartbreak

Left a hole in my chest

Iron and faith

Just me and my breath

Every rep is a promise

I won't settle for less

I'm not chasing the past

I'm becoming what's next

Iron and faith

Until i resurrect

I used to drown in memories

Now i drown in sweat

Letting every drop redeem

The parts of me you wrecked

I don't need revenge

I need discipline, control

I don't need closure

I need strength in my bones

Shaking hands

Burning lungs

Blisters splitting skin

Still easier

Than the nights i spent

Wishing you'd come home again

This pain doesn't break me

It gives me shape

I'm carving out a future

In every fucking plate

I don't pray for forgiveness

I pray for endurance

The will to show up

Long after motivation ends

Iron and faith

That's all i can claim

I build the man i become

With sweat, grit, and pain

Iron and faith

Under weight, under strain

No shortcuts to healing

No skipping the rain

I'm not chasing a body

I'm rebuilding my name

Iron and faith

Becoming unchained

Maybe god doesn't answer

Because he's waiting to see

What i build

When nobody saves me

But me

I don't need to be fearless

I just need to persist

Strength isn't loud

It's whoever refuses to quit

Iron and faith

Day by day

Breath by breath

Piece by piece

I rise

From what's left
