[Intro] (Cold shower-hiss synth opens. Slams into distorted bass + jagged riff) [Verse 1] (Emotional and gritty) Steam eats the light where the tiles are cold I didn’t hear the step, didn’t see the hold Voice locked tight behind a wall of glass Body turned to stone, couldn’t move an inch Hands where they had no right to be Force that tore right through the seams of me Blood on the floor, blood on my skin And the worst sharp sting was the mess within [Pre-Chorus] Not my choice to feel, not my choice to break He took the frame and burned the name Thought he marked me, thought he made his claim But bodies aren’t things you get to tame [Chorus] (Defiant, gritty, no shouting but emotional and powerful) HE THOUGHT HE LEFT A STAIN – HE LEFT A SCAR I WEAR THE EDGES, I OUTSHINE THE DARK FROZE THEN – NOW I CHOOSE TO BURN WHAT HE STOLE I’VE GOT TO EARN NOT HIS PROUD TROPHY, NOT HIS DIRTY MARK I AM THE FLAME THAT EATS THE DARK [Verse 2] (Even more emotion, anger and grit. No screaming, but powerful) Turned me over like I was trash Tore the ground out from under my past My own spine turned traitor, my nerves caught fire A rush I didn’t want, didn’t ask, didn’t desire He stood above me, smug and vain Pissed on my skin like it was dirt to stain Ran to the box, locked the door inside Sat with the ghost and the shame I tried to hide [Pre-Chorus] Not my choice to feel, not my choice to break He took the frame and burned the name Thought he marked me, thought he made his claim But bodies aren’t things you get to tame [Chorus] (Defiant, gritty, no shouting but emotional and powerful) HE THOUGHT HE LEFT A STAIN – HE LEFT A SCAR I WEAR THE EDGES, I OUTSHINE THE DARK FROZE THEN – NOW I CHOOSE TO BURN WHAT HE STOLE I’VE GOT TO EARN NOT HIS PROUD TROPHY, NOT HIS DIRTY MARK I AM THE FLAME THAT EATS THE DARK [Bridge] (Heavy distorted guitars, deep bass and heavy drums. Defiant, gritty and emotional vocals, no screaming) HE THOUGHT FREEZING WAS SURRENDER HE THOUGHT REACTION WAS CONSENT HE THOUGHT HE WROTE THE ENDING BUT I WOKE UP AND I WENT TOOK BACK THE BODY HE TRIED TO STEAL TOOK BACK THE WAY IT MADE ME FEEL NOW I GIVE IT – WHEN I WANT HOW I WANT – WHO I WANT HE CAN KEEP HIS EMPTY THREAT I DON’T OWE HIM ONE REGRET! [Breakdown] NO! STAINS! YOU CAN’T MARK WHAT’S ALREADY GOLD! NO! SHAME! YOU DON’T GET TO OWN WHAT YOU COULDN’T CONTROL! FREE! MINE! ALL OF IT – MINE! [Instrumental] (Extremely angry, heavy and distorted guitar riff. Filled with emotion and rage) [Final Chorus] (Defiant, gritty, no shouting but emotional and powerful) HE THOUGHT HE LEFT A STAIN – HE LEFT A SCAR I WEAR THE EDGES, I OUTSHINE THE DARK FROZE THEN – NOW I CHOOSE TO BURN WHAT HE STOLE I’VE GOT TO EARN NOT HIS PROUD TROPHY, NOT HIS DIRTY MARK I AM THE FLAME THAT EATS THE DARK [Outro] Steam fades away… The water runs clean… He only had a moment… I rule as the Queen…
