The Door You Closed

[Verse 1] Be careful You called me strange Like it tasted wrong in your mouth Like loving too fiercely Was something to cast out You flinched at the fire in my ribs Then blamed the flame when it lived You fed me silence Fed me doubt Built your peace Then shut me out [Pre-Chorus] You fear what you don’t understand So you exile it With steady hands [Chorus] The door you closed still knows my name It trembles softly in the rain You never saw what I survive You never watched me come alive Touch me now And understand I do not reach For open hands If you mistake my quiet for tame You will remember my flame [Verse 2] I remember You loved me small Contained Soft-spoken Easier to claim But I grew teeth I grew spine And suddenly I crossed a line You said my magic made you bleed But truth is what you couldn’t read You crowned yourself the righteous one While I became The dangerous one [Pre-Chorus] You call it justice Call it fate But fear was standing At that gate [Chorus] The door you closed still knows my name It trembles louder in the rain You never saw what I survive You never watched me come alive Come near me now And understand I do not bruise In open hands If you mistake my calm for weak You’ll hear the reckoning I speak [Bridge] I was never meant for cages Never meant to beg for places If you choose to turn away Know I do not chase I stay I bloom in darker ground Where no applause is found Three nights pass The air will shift You will feel The weight Of what you missed [Full Drum. Harmonies Rise.] [Final Chorus] The door you closed still knows my name And silence carries blame You never saw what I survive You never watched me come alive Touch me now And understand I am no exile I am the land If you mistake my difference for shame You will remember My flame [Outro] Different Dangerous Divine Different Dangerous Divine You closed the door I built the shrine
