[Intro] They drew a line across the earth Told me, “Know your place, know your worth” I brought a match and a loaded heart Now watch the quiet come apart [Verse 1] Black pine needles on my jacket sleeve Cold iron mornings, but I still breathe They sell obedience in polished frames I tear the label off my name No crown, no cage, no borrowed throne I built my nerve from stone on stone If the whole world votes for me to kneel I’ll stand so hard they’ll know I’m real [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got a pulse like a warning bell A private hell I know too well But every scar has taught me this: A life is mine when I choose it [Chorus] I won’t fade, I won’t fold I won’t trade my soul for gold Let the dark forest hear me roar I’m not the person I was before Raise your fists, let the old fear fall One true voice can outshout them all If they want a war with the heart I defend I’ll be the storm they can’t amend [Verse 2 - Rap] Look—no permission, no polished disguise I read the fine print behind their lies They want a soft voice, head down, eyes low I came with a fuse and a place to go I don’t need saints, I don’t need kings I need the nerve to question things Every locked door, every “not your kind” Turns into fuel when I make up my mind I’m not your product, not your parade Not a little ghost that your system made You can call me reckless, you can call me wrong I’d rather burn honest than belong by song [Pre-Chorus] I’ve got a pulse like a warning bell A private hell I know too well But every scar has taught me this: A life is mine when I choose it [Chorus] I won’t fade, I won’t fold I won’t trade my soul for gold Let the dark forest hear me roar I’m not the person I was before Raise your fists, let the old fear fall One true voice can outshout them all If they want a war with the heart I defend I’ll be the storm they can’t amend [Bridge] When the sky turns red at the edge of town When the last false idol tumbles down I’ll find my friends in the falling rain And say, “We made it through the flame” No more waiting for a perfect sign No more asking if the choice is mine The answer lives beneath my skin: Kick the door, and begin again [Final Chorus] I won’t fade, I won’t fold I won’t trade my soul for gold Let the dark forest hear me roar I’m not the person I was before Raise your fists, let the old fear fall One true voice can outshout them all If they want a war with the heart I defend I’ll be the storm they can’t amend [Outro] No crown, no cage, no borrowed throne I walk this road by will alone The world can doubt me till the end— I choose myself, and I begin
