“Not Sorry for the Sun”

[Intro – Spoken, over rising ambient synth] I’ve been quiet long enough But silence was never the truth This glow? I earned it. And I’m not dimming it for you. [Verse 1 – Confident, smooth delivery] I let too many through my open door Smiled while they took, till I hit the floor Bent my light so they’d feel tall Now I walk with fire, and I won’t crawl I used to say yes just to keep the peace Now I say “no” like I’m breakin’ free Don’t need to burn to keep you warm Don’t owe you soft if you bring me harm [Pre-Chorus – Melodic & rising] If loving me offends you That’s not my weight to hold This heart ain’t yours to bend through This story's getting bold [Chorus – Huge, layered, soaring and fierce] I’m not sorry for the sun I was made to shine If the light hurts your eyes Baby, that ain’t mine I’m not shrinking anymore Not for comfort, not for fun I’m not sorry for my fire I’m not sorry for the sun [Drop – Vocal chop: “I’m not sorry / for the sun” over heavy bass pulse] [Verse 2 – Edgy & clear, rhythmic cadence] I’m not your mirror, I’m not your stage Not your doormat or your cage I speak in truth, not in disguise Boundaries drawn like battle lines I don’t owe softness for being strong I’m not the villain in your song I walk with grace, but I don’t break And I will rise for my own sake [Pre-Chorus – Repeat, stronger] If loving me offends you That’s not my weight to hold I shed the guilt they gave me And stepped into the gold [Chorus – Repeat, intensified] I’m not sorry for the sun I was made to shine If the light hurts your eyes Baby, that ain’t mine I’m not shrinking anymore Not for comfort, not for fun I’m not sorry for my fire I’m not sorry for the sun [Bridge – Spoken word over stripped-down beat] I am not the apology I am the permission I am not a wound I am the incision I don’t bend I blaze I rise And I stay [Final Chorus – Huge, euphoric drop + stacked vocals] I’m not sorry for the sun I was born to blaze If I light up the sky I won’t hide my rays I’m not shrinking anymore That chapter’s done I’m not sorry for my power I’m not sorry for the sun [Outro – Echoing vox, stripped beat, trailing light sounds] (Not sorry… not sorry…) (For the sun…)
