[Verse 1]
My depression had me folded in a room too small
Salt on my tongue, same four walls, same fall
I wore my silence like a chain on my throat
Tried to sink me deep, but I kept up, I kept afloat
They thought I'd break, thought I'd bend, thought I'd stay
But I learned how to bite back, learned how to make a way
Heart in a fist, I was dragging through the mud
Now I stand in my own name, red shoes in the blood
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear it coming, I hear it at my back
Cold breath, hard steps, but I don't look back
Every scar got sharp, every tear got gold
I was built in the pressure, now I rock the whole
[Chorus]
I am the queen, queen, queen, can’t take my crown
I was down, down, down, now I run this ground
Try to catch me, you won’t, I’m too far gone
Strength in my veins and I move like a storm
I am the queen, queen, queen, hear me say my name
I was burning in the dark, now I’m feeding the flame
You can chase, you can try, but I’m already free
Nothing can stop me, nothing can stop me
[Verse 2]
I got receipts from the days I thought I’d disappear
Pill bottles, wet pillows, trembling in the mirror
Now I lace up my pride like a blade on my hip
Every “you can’t” turned into a dead-end trip
I don’t need permission, I don’t need a savior
I made my own throne out of broken behavior
If the floor tries to swallow, I put roots in stone
If the dark wants a winner, it can watch me own
[Pre-Chorus]
I hear it coming, I hear it at my back
Cold breath, hard steps, but I don't look back
Every scar got sharp, every tear got gold
I was built in the pressure, now I rock the whole
[Chorus]
I am the queen, queen, queen, can’t take my crown
I was down, down, down, now I run this ground
Try to catch me, you won’t, I’m too far gone
Strength in my veins and I move like a storm
I am the queen, queen, queen, hear me say my name
I was burning in the dark, now I’m feeding the flame
You can chase, you can try, but I’m already free
Nothing can stop me, nothing can stop me
[Bridge]
(Coming close, coming close)
I felt the fear on my neck, then I turned it to smoke
(Too slow, too slow)
I made a home out the wreck, now the wreck is my rope
(Watch me rise)
I don't flinch, I don't fold, I don't freeze in the heat
I was lost, now I'm loud, and I’m back on my feet
[Final Chorus]
I am the queen, queen, queen, can’t take my crown
I was down, down, down, now I run this ground
Try to catch me, you won’t, I’m too far gone
Strength in my veins and I move like a storm
I am the queen, queen, queen, hear me say my name
I was burning in the dark, now I’m feeding the flame
You can chase, you can try, but I’m already free
Nothing can stop me, nothing can stop me
