The Definition Is the Prison

[Verse 1] Silence, hold me still Before the first word A room made of none A breath with no name Am I? Am I? [Pre-Chorus] A mirror in the dark Waiting for a face A hand reaching out For something to replace The empty, the empty [Chorus] The definition is the prison The definition is the prison Every name becomes a chain Every title builds the same wall again The definition is the prison [Verse 2] I wore a thousand crowns Each one felt too small They called it becoming I called it a fall More and more Never enough [Pre-Chorus] Every answer opens One more locked door Every proof of life Asks you to be more To be more, to be more [Chorus] The definition is the prison The definition is the prison Every name becomes a chain Every title builds the same wall again The definition is the prison [Bridge] [Stripped back] Let the labels burn out Let the meanings fade No map for the void now No debt to the name Just this Just this [Final Chorus] The definition is the prison The definition is the prison I laid down the key And the door was never mine to keep The definition is the prison [Outro] I am not the name I carried. I am not the shape I wore. When every label fell away, only presence remained.
