[Intro Whispered]
You thought you buried me...
You thought I would stay down...
But I found my way back.

[Verse 1]
I wore the weight of every word you said
Carried the lies you put inside my head
You built your throne from my suffering
Watched me break while you were smiling

I gave you everything I had to give
Lost myself just trying to exist
You took my trust and turned it into chains
Left me drowning in your name

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can see it now
The truth behind your disguise
You never owned my soul
You only controlled my mind

[Chorus]
I’m dancing on your grave
The grave of who I used to be
The one who believed your lies
The one you tried to make me

I’m breaking through the chains
You wrapped around my heart
You tried to tear me down
But you only made me stronger

You don’t have power over me anymore

[Verse 2]
You can come back with your empty apologies
Pretend you’re the victim in your own disease
But I remember every scar you left behind
Every moment you convinced me I was blind

I was the shadow you wanted me to be
A broken reflection of what you wanted to see
But now I’m standing where you left me alone
And I finally built a place called home

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t need your forgiveness
I don’t need your lies
The person you controlled
Was buried with your pride

[Chorus]
I’m dancing on your grave
The grave of who I used to be
The one who believed your lies
The one you tried to make me

I’m breaking through the chains
You wrapped around my heart
You tried to tear me down
But you only made me stronger

You don’t have power over me anymore

[Bridge]
(Clean/soft into screams)

I spent so long trying to be enough
For someone who was never gonna love me

I forgive myself
For the time I lost
I forgive myself
For believing your words

But I will never let you
Control me again

[Breakdown]

YOU TOOK MY VOICE!

YOU TOOK MY FAITH!

BUT YOU COULD NEVER TAKE MY SOUL!

I AM NOT YOUR VICTIM!

I AM NOT YOUR FAILURE!

I AM THE ONE WHO SURVIVED!

[Heavy instrumental]

[Final Chorus]
I’m dancing on your grave
Everything you did is gone
The chains are broken now
And I’m finally moving on

You tried to bury me
But I became the fire
The person you destroyed
Was the one who took me higher

You don’t have power over me anymore

[Outro Quiet]
You were the reason I fell...
But I became the reason I rose.
