Rebuilding me
By Shelley violet Smith
Ooh ehh
Ooh ehh
Verse 1
I survived the dynamic
Now I'm planning my rebranding
Rebuilding foundations, hiding traps within
The strength of steel backs me up
No more corrosion eating at me
Every placement intentional
Protecting my peace
Pre chorus
Freedom starts within
I choose to live for me
Chorus
I rebuild the scene
Brick by brick, placed carefully
Defining me
Taking up space, reinforcing in my name
Hook
I’m rebuilding me
No ruins left to see
I’m rebuilding me, ooh ehhh
Verse 2
I see the vision of my imagined blueprint
Redefining survival, deciding what’s next for me
My bricks and mortar can’t be washed away
By toxic waters
I strengthen every barrier
Surrounding myself in safety
Pre chorus
Freedom starts within
I choose to live for me
Chorus
I rebuild the scene
Brick by brick, placed carefully
Defining me
Taking up space, reinforcing in my name
Hook
I’m rebuilding me
No ruins left to see
I’m rebuilding me, ooh ehhh
Bridge
Open space, no weight
I choose peace over familiarity
Breathe deep, no losing sleep
I live for me, reclaiming autonomy
Pre chorus
Freedom starts within
I choose to live for me
Chorus
I rebuild the scene
Brick by brick, each piece placed carefully
Defining me
Taking up space, reinforcing in my name
Hook
I’m rebuilding me
No ruins left to see
I’m rebuilding me, ooh ehhh
Ooh ehhh
Ooh ehhh
