Crushed and Created

[00:07.23] Looking back on the things that found me
[00:12.64] Places that I'd never choose
[00:18.13] The same things that both haunt and heal
[00:23.59] My demons and my muse
[00:28.09] We are crushed and created
[00:31.69] We are melted and made
[00:34.26] We are broken and built up, in the very same way
[00:39.76] What I thought I could handle
[00:43.33] What I thought I could take
[00:46.04] What I thought would destroy me leaves me stronger in its wake
[00:53.31]
[01:03.24] There are times that I'd underestimated
[01:08.62] Both the grief and goodness found in something new
[01:14.97] Where one thing dies, something else can be created
[01:20.38] Though its truth you find, its innocence you lose
[01:27.61]
[02:01.00] I'm not the "me" that I started with
[02:05.54] My friends say my eyes are brighter
[02:12.70] I'm not the "me" that I started with
[02:17.27] I'm freer, and I'm wiser, and I'm stronger
[02:28.16] We are crushed and created
[02:31.67] We are melted and made
[02:34.47] We are broken and built up, in the very same way
[02:39.93] What I thought I could handle
[02:42.50] What I thought I could take
[02:45.23] What I thought would destroy me leaves me stronger in its wake
[02:51.68]
[03:19.60] It leaves me stronger
[03:21.82]
