They built these walls so high, they built them strong and wide Every brick a whisper, "Fit in, don't be keen" Said, "Walk this way, talk that way, wear this, never that" But the reflection in the glass, it just talked back Felt like a ghost in my own skin, a silent, hollow plea Trapped in a story that was never meant for me Still, I can see the seams now, fraying at the edge There's a pulse under the plaster, and it's making its own pledge In their kingdom, I found my crown Tore their old rules down They wrote my future cold and tight But I burn right through the lines No more barriers, no more disguise A woman in this world, not made to fit Not made to fit Whispers turned to shouts, a rising tide "You're wrong, mistaken, nowhere left to hide Each sneer they threw just fed the fight inside To stand in power, open, honest, wide No more roles, no fading into gray Stepping out all the way, come what may Now the seams are split wide open, nothing left to hold I can feel the room shift shape as I step up bold In their kingdom, I found my crown Tore their old rules down They wrote my future cold and tight But I burn right through the lines No more barriers, no more disguise A woman in this world, not made to fit From the roots of ancient tales, to the rhythm in my soul I'm weaving my own magic, making myself whole The banshees of the old ways, they can wail and they can scorn But my truth is my compass, from the moment I was born Their old world crumbles daily, I stand firm and tall Watch their carefully laid plans crash and fall In their kingdom, I found my crown Tore their old rules down They wrote my future cold and tight But I burn right through the lines No more barriers, no more disguise A woman in this world, not made to fit Yeah, a woman in this world, finally free This is my kingdom, and it belongs to me
