Breaking the Chains

[Verse 1]
I was shrinking myself just to fit in
Bit my tongue till it burned my skin
Kept my colors in a box under my bed
Let their echo live inside my head
[Pre-Chorus]
But every “you can’t” fed the fire
Every locked door raised me higher
I’ve been quiet, I’ve been kind
Now I’m stepping over every line (hey)
[Chorus]
I’m breaking the chains
Off my heart, off my name
Every link on the floor
I won’t carry it anymore
I’m tearing the page
From the script that you made
Feel the weight fall away
I’m breaking the chains today
[Verse 2]
I’ve been dancing on glass just to please you
Saying “sorry” for the things I didn’t do
Now your shadows don’t reach where I stand
Got the truth like lightning in my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
All your doubt turns into thunder
Hear my roar shake all your thunder
I was quiet, I was small
Now I’m rising higher than your walls (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m breaking the chains
Off my heart, off my name
Every link on the floor
I won’t carry it anymore
I’m tearing the page
From the script that you made
Feel the weight fall away
I’m breaking the chains today
[Bridge]
Say I’m too much? I’ll be louder
Tried to drown me, I grew prouder
You’ll remember how I sound
When I shake this whole world down
[Chorus]
I’m breaking the chains
Off my heart, off my name
Every scar, every scar
Turns to shine like a falling star
I’m tearing the page
From the script that you made
Feel the weight fall away
I’m breaking the chains today
[Outro]
Breaking the chains
Hear me say my name
Breaking the chains
Watch me walk away

pop, Anthemic pop with big cinematic drums, pulsing bass, and bright synth stabs; verses stay tight and tense over sparse piano and pads, then chorus explodes with stacked female vocals and soaring top-line. Second half adds octave doubles, claps, and a subtle choir pad for a stadium-ready lift, ending on a held a cappella hook., vocal
