[INTRO – Low Whisper / Dark Ambient] I hear you breathing in the walls. I know you still remember my name. But grief is not a prison… And pain is not a chain. [VERSE 1 – Gritty Clean / Tense Build] You waited in the corners Where my broken pieces fell. Built a throne from all my sorrow, Called my heartbeat yours to sell. You dressed yourself like memory, Like you were part of me. But I know the difference now Between a wound and destiny. [PRE-CHORUS – Rising / Defiant] I can carry what happened Without crawling back inside. I can feel what is burning Without letting it decide. I may not be free yet, But I’m closer than before. Every step toward the light Leaves you starving at the door. [CHORUS – Huge / Fight Anthem] You don’t get to keep me! You don’t get my soul! Grief may walk beside me, But it doesn’t take control. You don’t get to drag me Back into the room. I can feel the darkness Without becoming you. I will be free, I will be whole. You may haunt the beginning, But you don’t own the road. This ache is only passing, This storm will lose its teeth. You may still be breathing, But you won’t outlive me. [VERSE 2 – Stronger / Heavy Rhythm] You whisper from the floorboards, Begging me to look behind. But I’m done feeding monsters With the pieces of my mind. Every tear is holy, Every scar can speak. But suffering is not a god, And I refuse to kneel weak. [PRE-CHORUS 2 – Building / Emotional] Grieving is a doorway, Not a grave where I must stay. I can honor what I carry And still choose to walk away. I may still feel the fire, But it won’t make me bow. I was lost inside the ashes, But I’m walking out now. [CHORUS – Bigger / Screamed Layers] You don’t get to keep me! You don’t get my soul! Grief may walk beside me, But it doesn’t take control. You don’t get to drag me Back into the room. I can feel the darkness Without becoming you. I will be free, I will be whole. You may haunt the beginning, But you don’t own the road. This ache is only passing, This storm will lose its teeth. You may still be breathing, But you won’t outlive me. [BRIDGE – Spoken / Breakdown Building] You are not my home. You are not my truth. You are not the rage inside me, Or the proof I made it through. You are just the shadow That followed where I bled. But shadows die in morning, And I am not dead. I am not yours. I am not done. I am becoming What you tried to outrun. [BREAKDOWN – Full Harsh Scream / Chaotic Band Drop] YOU DON’T GET THE POWER! YOU DON’T GET THE THRONE! YOU DON’T GET TO TURN MY ANGER INTO YOUR HOME! I CAN FEEL WHAT I FEEL! I CAN BLEED AND STILL BREATHE! RESENTMENT IS A FIRE BUT IT WON’T LIVE THROUGH ME! I WILL BE FREE! I WILL BE WHOLE! YOU MAY HAVE HAD MY PAIN, BUT YOU DON’T GET MY SOUL! [POST-BREAKDOWN – Clean / Dark but Hopeful] Let the ache move through me. Let the wound have air. Let the tears fall honest, Then leave what isn’t theirs. Let the grief keep moving. Let the rage run cold. I am not trapped forever. I am learning to let go. [FINAL CHORUS – Explosive / Clean + Screamed Layers] You don’t get to keep me! You don’t get my soul! Grief may walk beside me, But it doesn’t take control. You don’t get to drag me Back into the room. I can feel the darkness Without becoming you. I will be free, I will be whole. You may haunt the beginning, But you don’t own the road. This ache is only passing, This storm will lose its teeth. You may still be breathing, But you won’t outlive me. [FINAL SCREAM] YOU WON’T OUTLIVE ME! I WILL BE FREE! [OUTRO – Soft / Victorious Fade] I hear you fading in the walls. You don’t sound the same. Grief is part of healing… But darkness doesn’t get my name. I will be free. I will be whole. I am not yours anymore.
