Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro – whisper + wind pipes + distant choir] (childlike voice) I was just a child… Yeah… I was just a child… (echo) Chains… chains… chains… [Verse 1 – slow rap, dark, heartbeat drum] Yeah I was just a child, born into chaos and noise Didn’t get dolls and dreams, just survival and void Chains on my wings from the second I breathed Couldn’t rise, couldn’t fly, just a soul on its knees Night time screams, fists through the walls Daylight pain, no one to call Mentally torn, physically worn A child in a war before I was born Sexualised young, never given a choice Had a story to tell but they silenced my voice No safe hands, no one to guide Just a broken little kid trying hard to survive Sex, drugs, Harley’s and rock n roll— Yeah that’s my name… that’s what I was told SDHAR… yeah that’s what she gave What a mum… what a name… what a life to pave [Pre-Chorus – melodic, haunting] Where was the love… where was the care… Where was the one who was meant to be there… I called for help but no one came… Just silence… and a lifetime of pain… [Chorus – BIG choir + trance drop] 🔥 I was just a child in chains Living through the darkest pain No one came, no one stayed Left me drowning in the flames But I rise… yeah I rise from the scars you gave I’m the voice of the kids you never saved Hear me now, I won’t be denied You tried to break me… but I survived 🔥 [Verse 2 – confronting, steady flow] I asked for help, got shut right down “Stop that noise, don’t hang around” Told me it’s normal, told me it’s fine While I was breaking inside my mind At twelve years old… yeah I still remember Cold hands, cold world, lost in December She put a needle in my arm, said “this will heal” But it just blurred the pain… didn’t change what I feel Used it to twist me, control my head Left me confused, left me misled Every hit, every word that cut me down Turned my whole world upside down All I wanted was my mum to care But she turned away like I wasn’t there Protector gone, replaced with fear And I carried that weight year after year [Bridge – soft piano + child vocal echo] All I wanted… was a hug All I wanted… was love All I wanted… was to feel safe Like the kids in the dreams I’d escape I learned from stories what mums should be The ones who fight… who set you free Not break you down, not turn away Not leave you lost in the darkest place [Chorus – full power, layered choir] 🔥 I was just a child in chains Screaming through the silent pain No one came, no one stayed Left me drowning in the flames But I rise… yeah I rise from the scars you gave I’m the voice of the kids you never saved Hear me now, I won’t be denied I was broken… but I survived 🔥 [Verse 3 – emotional, rising strength] Tried to leave but got pulled back in Same old cycle, same old sin Every door just slammed in my face Trapped in time, trapped in place Family saw but they looked away Told me “you’ll be fine one day” But they never felt what I felt inside Never saw the nights I cried Still I stand… yeah still I breath
