[Verse 1] They call me names that burn my skin Built their kingdom on where I've been Their faded glory cast a spell Ugly hearts that love to yell [Chorus] Ugliness hates the shine of light They crushed my wings so I couldn't take flight But now I'm high where they can't see Cut the chains I'm finally free [Verse 2] Their words were stones they threw my way But stones grow dull and dreams don't decay The smartest kids they tried to break Wisdom thrives in dark heartache [Chorus] I see their shadows from the past A dying echo that couldn't last They fear the man I've come to be Their silence now my melody [Bridge] (Instrumental) [Verse 3] Fingers point but they can't reach Spitting venom they can't preach Their throne was built from stolen pride I turn my back and let it die [Outro] (Instrumental)
