Song Description
DAGGERS is a melodic pop anthem about generosity met with betrayal -- and the scars that prove survival
The song moves through moments of being kicked down, silenced, and written off, only to land on a chorus that refuses to apologize for still being here
It's not about revenge -- it's about endurance
Built on a restrained verse and a big, hook-driven chorus, DAGGERS leans into emotional honesty with a singable topline and a memorable refrain
If you've ever helped people who later turned on you, this one's for you
?? Themes: survival betrayal resilience boundaries
?? Genre: melodic pop / alt-pop
?? For fans of emotional anthems with strong hooks
Thanks for listening -- scars don't lie

Lyrics
Intro
The road to heaven is paved with bad actors
My back is scarred top to bottom by their daggers
Verse 1
Got kicked down left on the ground
Slapped in the face, snapped in place
Left on my own out in the woods
Nearly drowned choked every sound
Pointed and mocked right in my face
Threw every stone that they could
Chorus
Gave em money wheels shelter, and food from my fridge
Saved one guy's job talked another off a bridge
Still here breathing these scars don't lie
Heaven bans backstabbers in the afterlife
Felt more daggers than a desperate housewife
Felt more daggers than a desperate housewife
Verse 2
Forced to the back second class
Judged by my skin shut out of mass
Hired then fired buried alive
Left for dead just to survive
Laughed at my pain called a stain
Ran me off roads out of my lane
Chorus
Gave em money wheels shelter, and food from my fridge
Saved one guy's job talked another off a bridge
Still here breathing these scars don't lie
Heaven bans backstabbers in the afterlife
Felt more daggers than a desperate housewife
Felt more daggers than a desperate housewife
Bridge
Break out the champagne for true friends
Break out the pain for my sham friends
Chorus
Gave em money wheels shelter, and food from my fridge
Saved one guy's job talked another off a bridge
Still here breathing these scars don't lie
Heaven bans backstabbers in the afterlife
Felt more daggers than a desperate housewife
Felt more daggers than a desperate housewife
Outro
I survived what they meant to break
Still here, alive and wide awake
More daggers than a desperate housewife
More daggers than a desperate housewife
