[Verse 1]
They said
Sit still
Look nice
Fold your edges
Cut to size
Smile on cue
Hide the fight in your eyes
I tried
Shrinking every dream
Pinching inches
Splitting at the seams
Till my quiet rage
Started kicking and screamed
[Chorus]
I’m other than ordinary
Too much
Too loud
Too bold
I’m ready
If the price of truth is heavy
I will pay it
I will pay it
I won’t fit your temporary
Little box you built to cage me
I choose fire over safety
That’s my freedom
That’s my freedom
[Verse 2]
They talk
Like they really know
Who I’m meant to be
Where I’m meant to go
But their empty maps
Never show my road
So I
Let the rumors run
Let them twist my name
In their crooked tongues
Every scar I’ve earned
Turns to blazing sun
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If I stay small
Who does that save
Not the girl inside
Begging to misbehave
Every single rule
Came with fine print shame
I’m done signing
I’m done hiding my name
This is my choice
My skin
My voice
Every wild part
I reclaim
Rejoice
If truth burns bridges
Let them burn in light
I’ll walk that fire
For one real life
[low vocal register]I am not your trophy
I am not your sin
I’m the door you locked up
Kicking from within[building]
[crescendo][very long powerful high note after the bridge — belt and hold on “FREE”]
[Chorus]
