Alchemy of Saints and Sinners

[Verse 1] through cracks where the shadows dwell, Heart heavy, stories that I couldn’t tell. Daggers in my back, their edges kissed by trust, Turned golden in my hands, forged from rust. Pain spoke louder than a crowd could scream, Now it hums in my chest, like a lucid dream. Buried rejection, it sprouted wings, Flipped the script, now I crown my kings. [Chorus] Turn the hurt to fire, watch it glow, Alchemy of the soul, let it flow. Speak the truth, let it break the chains, Love blooms where once there was pain. Claim it now, no need to plead, I am, I am, I plant the seed. In the middle of saints and sinners No halos no gold no winners Just trying to find a place to stand With dirt on my shoes and hope in my hands [Verse 2] Betrayal wore a mask, its grin too wide, I stared it down, made peace with pride. Rejection whispered, “You’re not enough,” I laughed back, said, “I’m made of tougher stuff.” Mirror cracked but showed my core, A higher self I can’t ignore. Words like gold dripping from my tongue, Declarations sung, battles won. [Prechorus] Took the shadows, turned them into art, Every scar, a map, every wound, a start. I don’t run, I don’t fold, I don’t hide, This is my truth, this is my guide. [Chorus Turn the hurt to fire, watch it glow, Alchemy of the soul, let it flow. Speak the truth, let it break the chains, Love blooms where once there was pain. Claim it now, no need to plead, I am, I am, I plant the seed. In the middle of saints and sinners No halos no gold no winners Just trying to find a place to stand With dirt on my shoes and hope in my hands [Bridge] The universe listens when you speak with heat, Every syllable a drum, every word a beat. Authentic to the marrow, no masks remain, Forgiveness reigns where anger stained. What I declare is what will [Verse] Caught in the cracks where shadows crawl One step to rise one step to fall Angels whisper devils shout In my head it's a roundabout Pockets full of prayers and stolen dreams Walking a tightrope split at the seams I ain’t holy but I ain’t hell-bound Just trying to swim before I drown [Chorus] Turn the hurt to fire, watch it glow, Alchemy of the soul, let it flow. Speak the truth, let it break the chains, Love blooms where once there was pain. Claim it now, no need to plead, I am, I am, I plant the seed. In the middle of saints and sinners No halos no gold no winners Just trying to find a place to stand With dirt on my shoes and hope in my hands [Verse 2] The streetlights hum like they know my name Every choice a dice roll in this game I talk to the moon she don't talk back Just stares at the road I’m scared to track I’ve lied I've loved I’ve begged the sky But truth ain’t clean and love ain’t dry I’m the ink smear on a holy scroll A half-lit candle with a flickering soul [Prechorus] Some days I’m fire some days I’m smoke Some nights I pray some nights I chokeIn the riddle of saints and sinners Where shadows dance and spirits whisper Transforming pain into golden light Burning through the darkness of the night Alchemist of the soul, I rise Turning lead to gold before your eyes Transmuting wounds into a sacred song Proving that I've been broken but never wrong Some days I'm fire some days I'm smoke Some nights I pray some nights I choke But in this crucible of sound I'm breaking free, I'm breaking ground Burning bright then fading, a soul's gentle stroke Some nights I pray, some nights I choke Walking the line where my spirit broke
