[Verse]
I was raised on shadows whispers in the dark
Taught to see the world as cruel leave a mark
Every stumble every fall was a curse
Believing every pain would only make it worse
[Chorus]
Everything's a punishment that's what they said
Echoes in my mind as I lie in my bed
But I’m breaking the chains rewriting the creed
Learning to believe there’s more that I need
[Verse 2]
The weight of the guilt heavy on my spine
Every tear I shed felt like crossing a line
But I’m tired of the chains tired of the game
Gonna light up my soul gonna rewrite my name
[Chorus]
Everything's a punishment that's what they said
Echoes in my mind as I lie in my bed
But I’m breaking the chains rewriting the creed
Learning to believe there’s more that I need
[Bridge]
So I challenge the voices the lessons of old
Repainting my story in colors so bold
The struggle is real but so is my fight
I’m learning to see there's a world full of light
[Chorus]
Everything's a punishment that's what they said
Echoes in my mind as I lie in my bed
But I’m breaking the chains rewriting the creed
Learning to believe there’s more that I need
