invincible
I'm not invincible
You're just weaker than you think
You didn't strike a fatal blow
You saw me fall I hit the ground hard
But I got up ready for round two
I'm not invincible
I just learned to survive everything
To embrace every drop of blood
Saw the beauty in my bruises
The symphony of my bones cracking
And I still knew I would win
I'm not invincible
I built myself up on your defeat
Drank from your skull to celebrate my victory
Danced on your grave smashed the headstone
And then I walked away
I'm not invincible
I grew flowers in the graveyard
To make beauty from something evil
Like Persephone in the underworld
I deserve sunshine and flowers
Because life goes on after you
