Verse 1

They said take the high road, let it all fade out

Forgot the names, forgot the face, forgot what it was about

Played the fool in a game where the dealer was a ghost

Gave my loyalty away to the one who hurt me most

Found the receipts in a drawer full of rented love

Looked in the mirror, raised my hands to the stars above

No more sympathy for shadows on the wall

I had to hit the pavement just to break the fall

Chorus

Rise up, dust the dirt off my knees

I am the architect of my own destinies

No looking back at the wreckage of the past

Built a foundation that was made to outlast

Heavy is the crown when you take it back

Walking through the smoke on a motivational track

Verse 2

Every broken promise was a brick in my wall
