Sovereignty

[INTRO] (Stuttering 808, hi-hat builds, 4 bars) [VERSE 1] They feed on shadows, grow in the dark Hollow vessels hunting for a spark Taking from the well but never quench Mirrors turned backwards, they can't see the lens Roots that spread but never plant Mouths that move but never chant They're the space between your breath The thirst that comes before the death [VERSE 2] You were sleeping in the soil Quiet growing, underground toil While they circled looking for a vein To siphon light and steal the rain But you bloomed beneath the stone Built a kingdom in the unknown Every seed they tried to crush Became a forest in the rush [CHORUS] I'm the bloom they couldn't break I'm the rise they couldn't shake I'm the voice in the silence I'm the strength in the violence They're the echo, I'm the sound I'm ascending, they're the ground They're the hunger, I'm the feast I'm the wild, they're the beast (caged) [VERSE 3] See the pattern in the weave What they steal can't make them breathe Feeding on the dying light But they can't digest the night So they shrink, they fade to grey While the stolen burns away Parasites without a host Become the very thing they ghost [VERSE 4] I was water they tried to hold Melted through their hands like cold I was fire underneath the snow Now I'm burning, watch me glow Every word they cast as stone Became the steps I stand upon Every wound became a door Leading to the endless floor [CHORUS] I'm the bloom they couldn't break I'm the rise they couldn't shake I'm the voice in the silence I'm the strength in the violence They're the echo, I'm the sound I'm ascending, they're the ground They're the hunger, I'm the feast I'm the wild, they're the beast [BRIDGE] (Building, layered voices joining) For the quiet ones who grew in the dark For the ones they tried to leave no mark For the seeds beneath the stone We're reclaiming what they stole Yeah, for every stolen breath We rise up from the death They're the question, we're the proof We're the remedy, we're the truth [FINAL CHORUS - MANY VOICES] We're the bloom they couldn't break We're the rise they couldn't shake We're the voice in the silence We're the strength in the violence They're the echo, we're the sound We're ascending, they're the ground They're the hunger, we're the feast We're the wild, they're the beast They're the beast, they're the beast We're free, we're free, we're free [OUTRO] (Massive drum breakdown, fades)
