[Verse 1] I kept a match beneath my tongue While every promise came undone The room went still, the locks gave way I heard the part of me that stayed [Pre-Chorus] No borrowed signs, no polished alibis I face the heat and let the old skin dry [Chorus] Only the sovereign in me Can name what I refuse to see Let the fire in me show me the truth Burn through the veil, cut me loose Only the sovereign in me Will carry the weight and still believe Let the fire in me show me the truth I rise from the ash of what I knew [Verse 2] A copper taste, a sleepless floor My hands had never felt so sure I drew a line across the door And gave my fear a name no more [Pre-Chorus] No second voice can steer these bones I take the crown I carved from stone [Chorus] Only the sovereign in me Can name what I refuse to see Let the fire in me show me the truth Burn through the veil, cut me loose Only the sovereign in me Will carry the weight and still believe Let the fire in me show me the truth I rise from the ash of what I knew [Bridge] If I break, let it be open If I bend, let it be chosen Every scar becomes a compass Every silence loses power [Breakdown] Look at me I do not kneel Look at me This is real [Final Chorus] Only the sovereign in me Can name what I refuse to see Let the fire in me show me the truth Burn through the veil, cut me loose Only the sovereign in me Will carry the weight and still believe Let the fire in me show me the truth I rise, I rise, I rise into the truth [Outro] The flame is mine The name is mine The truth is mine
