Bite the Chains

[Verse 1] With a picture-perfect smile, I wave my hand But inside my chest, I curse this land “Such a sweet girl” in a golden cage Biting through the chains, I hide my rage [Pre-Chorus] I don’t hear the birdies sing No fairytale strings All I hear inside my head Is freedom calling me instead [Chorus] I don’t need your candy lies I don’t need your alibis This fake me you made I’ll smash it down today No more playing dead tonight I don’t need a prince’s right I’m gonna rewrite this whole damn story [Verse 2] The mirror laughs at the “ideal” face I’m painting dreams to fit your taste Underneath the skin, my red burns wild Hotter than your pretty fairytale smile [Pre-Chorus] Close the book, tear the page Let my pen spit rage Every word I’m gonna write Comes from fists I grip so tight [Chorus] I don’t need your candy lies I don’t need your alibis This fake me you made I’ll smash it down today No more playing dead tonight I don’t need a prince’s right I’m gonna rewrite this whole damn story [Bridge] Under my grin, I sharpened my claws All for this cause Let the truth explode and set me free [Final Chorus] I don’t need your candy lies I don’t need your alibis Breaking chains tonight I’ll own my name, my fight No more playing dead tonight I don’t need a prince’s right I’m taking back my story, glory’s mine!
