🐦🔥 The Woman I Buried 🐦🔥
[Verse 1] I learned to smile with a storm in my chest Learned to be quiet, learned to say yes Dressed up the fear in a good girl gown But the woman I buried was making a sound I kept the peace while the walls closed in Called it love when the wound wore my skin But under the ashes, under the ground The woman I buried came back crowned [Pre-Chorus] No more shrinking in rooms built small No more bowing to fear at all I hear my name in the thunder now I hear my bones say, remember how [Chorus] I am the dark, I am the flame I survived my name I am the wound, I am the cure I walked back through that door I am the night, I am the vow The woman I buried came back crowned Soft belly, steel spine This body, this power, this life is mine [Verse 2] They called me too much, so I became more A storm in red silk at the locked front door They called me broken, I called it awake You should see what a blamed woman makes I made beauty from chaos, gold from the ache Turned every scar into something that shakes I can be velvet, I can be wild I can be mother, monster and child I do not beg at the altar of fear I do not shrink just to keep you near I burned the script and I kept the sound The woman I buried came back crowned [Pre-Chorus] No more shrinking in rooms built small No more bowing to fear at all I hear my name in the thunder now I hear my bones say, remember how [Chorus] I am the dark, I am the flame I survived my name I am the wound, I am the cure I walked back through that door I am the night, I am the vow The woman I buried came back crowned Soft belly, steel spine This body, this power, this life is mine [Bridge] All my mothers behind me All my daughters ahead Every silenced woman Rising from the dead Not for revenge Not for the throne But I know my power And I know my own I walked through hell with my heart still beating Came back breathing, came back seeing Now what comes near me must meet my flame I do not answer to my old name [Final Chorus] I am the dark, I am the flame I survived my name I am the wound, I am the cure I walked back through that door I am the night, I am the vow The woman I buried came back crowned Soft belly, steel spine This body, this power, this life is mine [Outro] The old script burned But I did not The cage fell open And I walked out
