[Intro]
Lock the door, kill the doubt
No more waiting to get out
[Verse 1]
They drew the lines on a paper wall
Told me stay small, told me never crawl
I wore their rules like a second skin
Now every locked gate sounds like a drum within
I learned the weight of a borrowed name
The quiet deal, the accepted shame
But I kept one match in the back of my mind
Now I’m striking it hard and leaving fear behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the cracks, count the scars
They don’t get to call them ours
One more breath, one more sound
Feel the whole cage shaking now
[Chorus]
Break the chain, break the chain
Let it hit the floor like thunder in the rain
Break the chain, break the chain
I was built to rise, not to live inside your frame
No surrender, no retreat
Put the past beneath my feet
Break the chain, break the chain
This is my life, and I’m taking it again
[Verse 2]
You can keep your crown made of rust
Keep your promises turning into dust
I’ve seen the cost of a borrowed throne
I’d rather bleed for a truth of my own
Every bruise is a mark that says
I didn’t vanish in the dead-end days
Every no became a sharper blade
Every closed hand taught me how to break
[Pre-Chorus]
Count the cracks, count the scars
They don’t get to call them ours
One more breath, one more sound
Feel the whole cage shaking now
[Chorus]
Break the chain, break the chain
Let it hit the floor like thunder in the rain
Break the chain, break the chain
I was built to rise, not to live inside your frame
No surrender, no retreat
Put the past beneath my feet
Break the chain, break the chain
This is my life, and I’m taking it again
[Bridge]
If you’re standing at the edge, step forward
If they taught you to be quiet, get louder
If the door is made of iron, hit harder
If the road is gone, become the starter
We are not the names they gave us
We are not the hands that caged us
Hear that final link give way
Nothing owns us from today
[Final Chorus]
Break the chain, break the chain
Let it hit the floor like thunder in the rain
Break the chain, break the chain
I was built to rise, not to live inside your frame
No surrender, no retreat
Put the past beneath my feet
Break the chain, break the chain
This is my life, and I’m taking it again
[Outro]
No more waiting
No more fear
The lock is broken
I’m still here
