Empty echoes in the halls we once called home Faded pictures on the wall, now I'm alone But this silence isn't pain, it's a soft, sweet release From the weight of your disdain, the shattering of peace Every whispered word, a chain around my soul Every promise you deferred, took its heavy toll You dragged me down to depths where shadows loved to play Tried to drown the very best of me, and steal my light away But I am rising from the ashes of your fire Forged anew, with a burning, fierce desire You thought you broke me, left me shattered on the floor But I'm stronger now, than I have ever been before And your gravity holds no power over me Finally I'm breathing, finally I'm free! Remember mornings, clouded gray, beneath your heavy hand? Each step I took, you'd pull away, an anchor in the sand The fragile bloom of who I was, you withered with your scorn Leaving barren, empty cause, a spirit bruised and torn Every whispered word, a chain around my soul Every promise you deferred, took its heavy toll You dragged me down to depths where shadows loved to play Tried to drown the very best of me, and steal my light away But I am rising from the ashes of your fire Forged anew, with a burning, fierce desire You thought you broke me, left me shattered on the floor But I'm stronger now, than I have ever been before And your gravity holds no power over me Finally I'm breathing, finally I'm free! Through the storm, I found my voice, a thunder in the night Made the solitary choice, to step into the light No more living in your shade, no more bending to your will The masterpiece you tried to fade, stands unbroken, standing still! And I am rising from the ashes of your fire Forged anew, with a burning, fierce desire You thought you broke me, left me shattered on the floor But I'm stronger now, than I have ever been before And your gravity holds no power over me Finally I'm breathing, finally I'm free! Finally free... Stronger... Without you...
