Verse 1 (contemplative)
You forged your kingdom out of static and control,
Tried to grind my edges down and snuff my soul.
But pressure makes a weapon when the steel begins to bend,
Now every rule you carved in stone is breaking at the end.
Pre‑Chorus
Your grip was just a facade,
Your shadow just a cage
I rose from that place
And burned through every stage.
Chorus
I’m the truth you tried to bury,
The light you couldn’t dim.
I’m the voice you tried to silence
Growing louder each new day.
Your lies were only thunder,
My freedom comes like the dawn.
I’m everything you feared I’d become,
And you don’t get to keep your pawn.
Verse 2 (quiet defiance)
You loved to spin this lie all the time
‘Blood is thicker than water’
But there’s a truth you’ve yet to learn
There’s no such thing as the all loving father
Pre‑Chorus (build to chorus)
Your grip was just a facade,
Your shadow just a cage
I rose from that place
And burned through every stage.
Chorus
I’m the truth you tried to bury,
The light you couldn’t dim.
I’m the voice you tried to silence
Growing louder each new day.
Your lies were only thunder,
My freedom comes like the dawn.
I’m everything you feared I’d become,
And you don’t get to keep your pawn.
Verse 3 (full defiance)
My family now is the one I choose,
Your weaponized love is now meaningless.
There’s a peace in this path you feared,
My life now full of joy - not loneliness.
Pre-Chorus (build to final chorus)
Your kingdom was illusion,
Your power just a claim.
I stepped beyond the borders
And rose without your name.
Final Chorus (triumphant)
I’m the truth you tried to bury,
The light you couldn’t dim.
I’m the voice you tried to silence
Growing louder each new day.
Your lies were only thunder,
My freedom comes like the dawn.
I’m everything you feared I’d become,
And you don’t get to keep your pawn.
