[Verse 1]
I live in the shadows, wearing a disguise
The person I am was buried inside
I couldn’t find her, so I copied the rest
But that left her lonely
Like she was a pest
[Verse 2]
If I’m being honest, the best of me’s hidden
The cave has been safe, but it’s burden-ridden
It offered protection, but locked me away
A self-made prison where I’d slowly decay
[Chorus]
But I’m breaking the locks, one truth at a time
No longer afraid to say, “This hurt was mine”
No more disguises, no more control
Enough with the keepers, this is my soul
From shadows I’m rising, no longer small
I might not be whole—but I’m me and that’s all
[Verse 3]
The keepers kept coming—I welcomed the worst
They tasted my silence, they swallowed me whole
Oh, I’ve met the best ones, escape was their game
The harder they played, the higher the flame
The smarter the keeper, the sweeter their lies
The deeper the wound, the slower it dies
⸻
[Chorus]
But I’m breaking the locks, one truth at a time
No longer afraid to say, “This hurt was mine”
No more disguises, no more control
Enough with the keepers, this is my soul
From shadows I’m rising, no longer small
I might not be whole—but I’m me and that’s all
