Verse 1:
In the shadows where I used to dwell,
Chained inside this suffocating shell.
A heavy heart, the weight of regret,
Lost in the darkness, a haunting silhouette.
Pre-Chorus:
But I found my voice, I found my pain,
The storms I weathered brought the rain.
Each scar a story, etched in my soul,
Now I rise, I will take control.
Chorus:
I will break away, I will set me free,
No more imprisoned by what used to be.
From the ashes I will soar,
This time I’ll fight, I’ll settle the score.
Verse 2:
Every whisper, every lie I believed,
Kept me in silence, my spirit deceived.
But the fire ignites, I'm ready to burn,
With every step forward, a lesson learned.
Pre-Chorus:
The chains will shatter, the pain will fade,
I’m shedding the pieces of who I betrayed.
Darkness won't claim me, I'll find my way,
With strength in my heart, I’ll seize the day.
Chorus:
I will break away, I will set me free,
No more imprisoned by what used to be.
From the ashes I will soar,
This time I’ll fight, I’ll settle the score.
Bridge:
In the echoes of agony, I learn to rise,
No more shadows, no more lies.
The past is gone, a distant memory,
I’ll embrace the chaos, I’ll choose to be me.
Chorus:
I will break away, I will set me free,
No more imprisoned by what used to be.
From the ashes I will soar,
This time I’ll fight, I’ll settle the score.
Outro:
From the ashes, I am reborn,
A warrior standing, the shackles worn.
With every heartbeat, I reclaim my name,
In the light of freedom, I’ll never be the same.
