(Title: Cut The Strings) (Verse 1) In rooms with no windows, under fluorescent glare Where the air tastes like static, and defeat hangs in the air They pull the strings with a practiced smile, and a voice that's cold and clean They tell you what you're worth now, and what your worth has always been A whispered threat, a document, a hand that grips too tight They dim your inner lantern, and they call it "seeing the light." (Pre-Chorus 1) And the lie gets heavy, and the chain goes taught… You feel the fraying in every thought. A final breath before the roar— You can't be silent anymore. (Chorus) Cut the strings! Let the puppets fall! Silence shattered, breaking walls. For every whisper, every blow, A strength you never thought you'd know. Speak now! Shout now! Be the proof— For the woman on the edge, for the man beneath the roof. (Verse 2) For every "honey" laced with poison, every "joke" that drew a flinch For every door held closed to you, left begging in the pinch For the measured tones that chipped your spine, the rage that shook the wall The lie that said you asked for it, that you deserved it all It echoes in the hallway, in the office, in the home A sickness wrapped in normalcy, in soil you did not sow. (Pre-Chorus 2) So let it build, a tidal wave… You are not the one to save. From the embers, feel it start— The fire in your hidden heart. (Chorus) Cut the strings! Let the puppets fall! Silence shattered, breaking walls. For every whisper, every blow, A strength you never thought you'd know. Speak now! Shout now! Be the proof— For the woman on the edge, for the man beneath the roof. (Bridge - Monologue over a tense, building instrumental) This is the moral. The only one that matters. Your dignity is not a debate. Your safety is not a negotiation. They only have the power you carry to them in your silence. So stop carrying it. Take it back. Let your voice be the first tool you use to build your freedom. For every sister and every brother still in the dark room… your truth is the light switch. (Final Escape - Double Chorus) CUT THE STRINGS! LET THE PUPPETS FALL! SILENCE SHATTERED, BREAKING WALLS! FOR EVERY WHISPER, EVERY BLOW, A STRENGTH YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D KNOW! SPEAK NOW! SHOUT NOW! BE THE PROOF— FOR THE WOMAN ON THE EDGE, FOR THE MAN BENEATH THE ROOF! CUT THE STRINGS! LET THE PUPPETS FALL! SILENCE SHATTERED, BREAKING WALLS! FOR EVERY WHISPER, EVERY BLOW, A STRENGTH YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D KNOW! SPEAK NOW! SHOUT NOW! BE THE PROOF— WE ARE THE PROOF! (Outro - Music resolves to a single, sustained note of defiance) We’re walking through.
