The Knife You Left — Lilith Dominion

“The Knife You Left” is the chapter of reclaiming the wound —
the moment you stop being what someone carved into you
and become the flame that burns through their memory.

This song is about betrayal, transformation, and the way pain becomes power
when you refuse to stay where someone left you broken.
It is the sound of turning the cut into a crown,
the weapon into a roar,
the wound into the place you rise from.

If you’ve ever turned your hurt into fire —
this one is yours.

⭐ LYRICS — THE KNIFE YOU LEFT

[Verse 1]
You cut your name into my ribcage,
drove the steel and didn’t stay.
Left me bleeding in the silence
just to watch me fade away.
Every promise was a weapon,
every word a broken blade—
but the bruise you tried to bury
is the fire that you made.

[Pre-Chorus]
I traced the line you opened—
a fault beneath my skin.
You thought the break would end me…
but that’s where I begin.

[Chorus]
The knife you left
still vibrates in the bone.
But I won’t crawl
from damage you’ve outgrown.
You built the hurt—
I turned it into war.
The cut you carved
won’t own me anymore.
The knife you left
is forged into my roar—
you made the wound,
I made it something more.

[Verse 2]
You stained your echo on my shadow,
left your venom in my chest.
Thought I’d crumble when you shattered
every part you never blessed.
But you fed the spark that saved me,
ignited scars you can’t erase—
every fracture you delivered
became the steel beneath my face.

[Pre-Chorus]
The blood you left to drown me
rose up and learned to burn.
You thought I'd break in silence—
I waited for my turn.

[Chorus]
The knife you left
still vibrates in the bone.
But I won’t crawl
from damage you’ve outgrown.
You built the hurt—
I turned it into war.
The cut you carved
won’t own me anymore.
The knife you left
is forged into my roar—
you made the wound,
I made it something more.

[Bridge / Breakdown]
Let the metal scream your memory.
Let the fracture split the lies.
Everything you tried to sever
is the place I learned to rise.
I wear the mark like armor—
I wear the pain like flame.
You left a blade inside me…
I turned it into my name.

[Final Chorus]
The knife you left
can’t haunt me anymore.
I melted it to power,
a weapon I adore.
The scar you wrote
became the crown I claim—
I rise from every cut
you carved into my name.
The knife you left
won’t drag me to the floor—
I am the fire burning
through the lock you wore.
