From the recording Blood And Binding
Lyrics
You taught me how to disappear
How to swallow every fear
Your words were razors dressed as care
Cutting deeper than you’d ever dare
I learned to smile with trembling hands
To shrink myself to fit your plans
But every whisper
Left a fracture in my bones
You built a kingdom
From the pieces of my soul
You tried to break me quietly
Turn my heart into a grave
But even fragile glass can cut
And I won’t die the way you made
You tried to chain the light in me
But I’m burning through your lies
If suffering made me stronger
Then watch me rise
You painted storms inside my chest
Said the chaos made me blessed
You stole my voice, rewrote my truth
Made me fear the sound of my own youth
But even shadows shake and fade
When they meet the dawn unafraid
You don't own me
You don't name me
Every scar you left
Will one day save me
You tried to break me quietly
Turn my heart into a grave
But even fragile glass can cut
And I won’t die the way you made
You tried to chain the light in me
But I’m burning through your lies
If suffering made me stronger
Then watch me rise
I was never your hollow doll
Never meant to crawl
Never meant to fall
You fed on the silence I couldn’t scream
But now I’m tearing through the seams
I’m not your victim
I’m my own rebirth
You tried to break me quietly
But my voice will shake the sky
I’m not the fragile girl you molded
Out of fear and lullabies
You tried to bury all of me
But I survived your darkest night
And now I rise, unbroken
Burning in the light
I was fragile
But never yours to crush
