Verse 1 Clock’s bleeding down the wall tonight Last year’s ghosts still talking shit I’m standing in the wreckage loud Of every time I swallowed it They trained me well to doubt my spine To call my limits “too unkind” But I’m done dying quietly To keep the peace with parasites Pre-Chorus I carried everyone but me Called it love, called it loyalty Tonight I set the weight on fire Chorus At midnight I draw blood-red lines No more access, no more tries If you cross me now, you’re dead to me Not in hate—just finally free I break the cycle, smash the mold This year I choose my backbone bold New year, new scars I chose myself Boundaries built like a loaded shelf Verse 2 You fed on guilt, you lived on blame Rebranded abuse as “family name” Told me “that’s just how we are” While I bled out behind the bars I see the pattern, clear as day Your chaos needs me small and grey But I’m not your mirror, not your fix I’m not repeating your old tricks Pre-Chorus I learned the cost of staying still Is losing parts I couldn’t rebuild So I choose the cut that heals Chorus At midnight I draw blood-red lines No more access, no more tries If you cross me now, you’re dead to me Not in hate—just finally free I break the cycle, smash the mold This year I choose my backbone bold New year, new scars I chose myself Boundaries built like a loaded shelf Breakdown (spit / scream) You don’t get me by default You don’t get me out of fault Blood don’t buy you my decay No means no—get out my way Bridge I’ll be the villain in your lies If it keeps me alive I’ll burn tradition to the ground If it means I don’t drown This isn’t bitterness or spite This is me reclaiming my life Final Chorus At midnight I cut the chain loose Choose my future, choose my truth No more shrinking, no more deals No more wounds I didn’t choose to feel Fireworks crack like bones in the sky Old me buried, no alibi New year starts with a slammed door sound That’s the noise of boundaries now Outro Countdown hits—no fear, no doubt I step into the year locked out Of everything that broke me down Cycle dead. Crown on.
