**(Starts with a low, dark sound and a slow, heavy beat)**
**(Verse 1 - Quiet, angry voice):**
Listen close, to how it was with them.
They loved lookin' in the mirror, didn't care 'bout anyone.
Every word they said felt like a trick, a mean game.
Everything I needed, they made me feel the shame.
Their world was just about them, bright and big and loud.
I was just someone near them, lost in their dark cloud.
My own voice couldn't come out, my feelings didn't count.
I was used to make them feel good, that's all it did amount.
**(Chorus - Beat gets louder, voice gets stronger and mad):**
THEY LIED TO MY FACE! Made me think I was wrong!
MADE ME FEEL CRAZY! For all the bad they did along!
THEY PULLED ALL THE STRINGS! Told me what to do!
LEFT ME FEELIN' EMPTY! My real self went from view!
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" That's what they'd always say!
I FELT SO BAD INSIDE! Livin' scared every day!
But now I see the truth clear, the fog is goin' away!
See the one who hurt me bad, not gonna live that way!
**(Verse 2 - Little faster, startin' to fight back):**
Remember all they promised? Sounded like they meant it true.
But they broke them all so easy, like old toys break in two.
My rules didn't matter, they just did what they would.
My feelings weren't important, they never understood.
They were nice to other people, made them think they're good.
But behind closed doors with me, their real bad side stood.
They hurt me deep inside, made me feel so small.
Just wantin' a little kindness, breakin' down my wall.
But now a little anger's growin', I won't just stand and fall!
**(Chorus - Beat gets harder, voice gets louder and stronger):**
THEY LIED TO MY FACE! Made me think I was wrong!
MADE ME FEEL CRAZY! For all the bad they did along!
THEY PULLED ALL THE STRINGS! Told me what to do!
LEFT ME FEELIN' EMPTY! My real self went from view!
"IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" That's what they'd always say!
I FELT SO BAD INSIDE! Livin' scared every day!
But now I see the truth clear, the fog is goin' away!
See the one who hurt me bad, not gonna live that way!
**(Bridge - Beat gets slow, voice talks clear and sure):**
They need you to feel weak, so they can feel so high.
But under all the hurt, a strong me starts to try.
The quiet's breakin', the chains are losin' hold.
This ain't the end of me, a new story will unfold!
**(Chorus - Beat hits hard, voice is strong and won't quit):**
NO MORE LIES TO MY FACE! I see the wrong they done!
NO MORE FEELIN' CRAZY! Their power over me is gone!
BREAKIN' ALL THEIR STRINGS! I'm takin' back my soul!
FILLIN' UP THE EMPTY! Makin' my own self whole!
"IT WASN'T MY FAULT!" The real truth I can say!
LEAVIN' ALL THE BAD BEHIND! Walkin' to a better day!
The dark is gone, it's clear to see, the light is shinin' bright!
See the one who hurt me bad, walkin' into my own light!
**(Outro - Beat fades out with a strong last sound and a sure breath):**
Yeah... not hurt no more... my power's back... gonna rise... *fades out*
