[Intro] [harmonized lead guitars, fast double-kick drums, synth pads] [guitars switch to palm-muted chugging] [Verse 1] [bass and drums continue, guitars play staccato chords] In the shadows I've been hiding A quiet place to keep my pain I do whispers fears confiding Telling me to play the same But the cracks are showing [guitar lead fills] And the weight's too much to bear The truth inside is glowing It's calling me to dare [Chorus] [full power chords, driving rhythm] The screams of the past they echo they fight But deep in the dark I can see the light I'm hatching breaking free from the cage I built for me Every tear every fight leads me closer to the light I'm shedding my old skin let the new life begin Hatching the fire inside I'm done trying to hide [Instrumental Break] [fast guitar solo with alternate picking and vibrato] [Verse 2] [palm-muted guitar rhythm] In the silence rage is stirring Every scar begins to speak The guilt the pride the anger burning They teach me what I need to see It's not the end I'm fearing But the birth of someone new The shell is disappearing And I know just what to do [Pre-Chorus] [half-time feel, sustained guitar chords] The shadows were mine I held them so tight But now I let go I'm ready to fight [Chorus] [tempo returns to original drive] I'm hatching breaking free from the cage I built for me Every tear every fight leads me closer to the light I'm shedding my old skin let the new life begin Hatching the fire inside I'm done trying to hide [Bridge] [clean guitar arpeggios, soft synth] In the mirror I see her now The radiant me I dreamed somehow Draped in red and gold she calls Rise up let go no need to fall [crescendo with drum roll] This isn't a monster it's me I found A voice so fierce a soul so unbound [vocal belt] Oh! [Chorus] I'm hatching breaking free from the cage I built for me Every tear every fight leads me closer to the light I'm shedding my old skin let the new life begin Hatching the fire inside I'm done trying to hide [Outro] Hatching the fire I'm ready to see The fire inside that's always been me Through the pain through the strife I'm reborn into life Hatching the fire inside I'm done trying to hide [final power chord, cymbal ring out]
