[Instrumental Intro] [Catchy Hook] [Verse 1] In the shadows, I've been hiding From the whispers, from the lies Tired of the endless fighting Tired of wearing my disguise They call me names, they try to break me But they don't know who I am Their judgment can't enslave me I'll rise above their sham [Chorus] I am more than just your labels, more than just your scorn I'll wear my scars with pride and no longer will be torn I'll scream my truth, and I'll own my pains I simply will not play your games. [Instrumental pause] [Verse 2] Every lash, every word, leaves a scar that stings But I've learned to turn my wounds into my wings You think you know me, and think you’ve seen it all But you’ve only seen the rise, and never seen me fall I’m the fire in the darkness, the storm in the night I won’t be your victim, I’ll stand up and fight Your chains will not hold me, your words will never bind I’ve found my voice, and I know what is in my mind [Chorus] I am more than just your labels, more than just your scorn I'll wear my scars with pride and no longer will be torn I'll scream my truth, and I'll own my pains I simply will not play your games. [Guitar Solo] [Breakdown] [Catchy Hook] [Bridge] You tried to break me, but you just made me strong You fed the fire, and now hear my song I’m not your sinner, I’m not your saint I am the truth that you can't repaint [Chorus] I am more than just your labels, more than just your scorn I'll wear my scars with pride and no longer will be torn I'll scream my truth, and I'll own my pains I simply will not play your games. [Outro] So call me what you will, I’ll never wear your shame You can't really harm me. You can't besmirch my name I am not your baka and I am not your pawn You cannot un-make me. I am the light of my own dawn. [Strong finale] [short, strong finale]
