Scars like constellations Map the wars I never chose to fight They call it luck—I call it theft Stealing light from the jaws of night Knuckles cracked on concrete hope Every shadow hides a blade unnamed Ain't no prince in this fairy tale Just a boy made of break and brave I bend But don't shatter Turn poison to glitter They said: Know your place So I built a throne from the wreckage I am diamond dust Born from the pressure they gave me Every cut just polished the blade Now watch how the light obeys me! I am diamond dust Cold as the stars but I burn You tried to bury my name Now the whole sky sings it in turn! Pray for angels? I got ghosts Whispering smoke through my ribcage Fingers numb from holding on To dreams too sharp for velvet cages Laughing blood from bitten lips They love the spark ‘til it blinds their eyes You wanted ash? Here’s wildfire Dancing in the ruins of their lies I was the rock They threw at their windows Now I'm the storm And the glass is my armor I am diamond dust A million fractures shining You thought pain would dull my glow? It just defined me! I am diamond dust The echo after thunder Go on—strike me again I’ll just spark louder! They’ll forget the hands that hurt But the light? Oh, the light remembers everything
