[Intro]
When the shadows creep, through the night so deep,
My heart was a cage, my soul, buried in chains.
Fear gripped my mind, as the dark intertwined,
I fought through the whispers, the curses, the pain.
[Verse 1]
Three demons dancing, in the halls of my mind,
Each one with a face, that was cruel and unkind.
Freddy with knives, Pennywise drew me near,
My heart cried for help, but my screams disappeared.
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers in darkness, shouts in the light,
They'd taunt me with demons, but I had to fight.
Told to cut my own skin, to feel something real,
Yet the pain of their laughter, was too strong to heal.
[Chorus]
Take a stand, break the chains,
Rise from the ashes, through the storms and the pains.
No more shadows, no more chains,
I'll roar like a lion, will not be ashamed.
[Verse 2]
Thanksgiving was hollow, when my plate was all bare,
Starvation's cold fingers, not a soul seemed to care.
Jail was my refuge, for a brief little while,
But Penny had patience, and she wore a cruel smile.
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers in darkness, shouts in the light,
They'd taunt me with demons, but I had to fight.
Mind clouds with violence, like a storm high above,
But I'm forging a future, built on self-love.
[Chorus]
Take a stand, break the chains,
Rise from the ashes, through the storms and the pains.
No more shadows, no more chains,
I'll roar like a lion, will not be ashamed.
[Bridge]
These scars are my stories, carved deep in my skin,
Each mark tells of battles, of where I've been.
So hear me, world, hear my cry,
No more will I falter, no more will I die.
[Chorus]
Take a stand, break the chains,
Rise from the ashes, through the storms and the pains.
No more shadows, no more chains,
I'll roar like a lion, will not be ashamed.
[Outro]
Rise up, stand tall, let the healing begin,
With each breath I'm taking, it's a fight I will win.
No more shadows haunting, no more demons in sight,
I've claimed my own story, I'm reclaiming my light.
