[Intro – Same lonely violin melody as Track 1] [Female – Whispered] Six months free... Eleven months gone... I thought signing those papers Was the end of my story. But it was only the beginning. I spent a lifetime learning silence... Now listen. [Verse 1 – Fragile haunting female alto] I was a ghost behind the curtains, Just a shadow in the hall. With a thousand hidden paintings, And a voice beneath the walls. I learned to make myself invisible, To apologize for air. Buried every little melody, Pretended I wasn't there. I wore their words like heavy armor, Let their echoes call my name. Till the woman in the mirror Could barely recognize her face. [Pre-Chorus – Rising Celtic violin] But there was music in the floorboards, There was fire beneath the snow. And a little girl behind a doorway Who was waiting to come home. [Chorus – Sweeping orchestral violins] HEAR ME NOW! I'M NOT THE GIRL YOU SILENCED! I'M THE VOICE THAT MADE IT THROUGH! Every song I thought was buried Found a way to bloom! HEAR ME NOW! LET THE CONSTELLATIONS SHINE! I won't give another moment Of this beautiful life that's mine! I'm the ghost who found her heartbeat, I'm the bird who learned to fly! Hear me now... I'M STILL ALIVE! [Verse 2 – Indie guitar, Norse frame drums] I unburied all my paintbrushes, Let the colors flood the room. Drew a thousand crooked stars Where I once had painted gloom. I met the girl behind the locked door, Took her frightened little hand. Told her she could bring her stories, That she'd never hide again. I found a northern star beside me, A safe place underneath the sky. And I learned that loving someone Didn't mean I had to hide. Now there's a home inside my skin, And a song beneath my wings. I'm learning how to love the woman Who creates these beautiful things. [Pre-Chorus – Electric violin rising] I was never born a burden, Never meant to disappear. And the witch who walked through fire Is the woman standing here! [Chorus – Electric violin, cinematic folk rock] HEAR ME NOW! I'M NOT THE GIRL YOU SILENCED! I'M THE VOICE THAT MADE IT THROUGH! Every dream I thought was buried Found a way to bloom! HEAR ME NOW! LET THE NORTHERN HEAVENS SHINE! I've got music in my heartbeat, And this beautiful life is mine! I'm the witch who kept her fire, I'm the bird who learned to fly! Hear me now... I'M STILL ALIVE! [Bridge – Music fades to a single violin] [Female – Almost spoken] To the girl who learned to whisper... You can speak. To the ghost who hid her paintings... You can create. To the little witch afraid of fire... You can rest. To the bird with broken feathers... You can fly. [Pause] And to the woman Who's still figuring it all out... You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to be fearless. You don't have to prove You deserved to survive. [Soft singing] Every version of me mattered, Every chapter has its place. But I won't live inside the shadows Just to honor yesterday. [Whispered] I don't owe the darkness forever. And I don't need permission To exist. [Instrumental Break – Massive soaring electric violin solo, Celtic fiddle, Viking war drums, indie guitars, celestial witchcore synths] [Final Chorus – Epic Norse-Celtic orchestration, angelic harmonies] HEAR ME NOW! LET THE WILD VIOLINS RISE! LET THE RAVENS CROSS THE HEAVENS! LET MY COLORS PAINT THE SKY! I'm the artist and the dreamer, I'm the chaos and the calm! I'm the woman who kept singing When they thought the music gone! HEAR ME NOW! I WON'T MAKE MYSELF SMALL! I CAN BE SOFT AND STILL BE STRONG! I CAN STUMBLE AND STILL STAND TALL! I can laugh beneath the moonlight! I can cry and still be free! I can carry every scar Without letting it define me! The sky was never locked! These wings were always mine! [Female – Soaring, gentle] HEAR ME NOW! THIS IS MY LIFE! [Outro – Norse drums fade, original violin melody returns] [Female – Whispered] Six months free... Eleven months gone... I thought I needed To become someone new. But all I really needed Was to stop abandoning me. [Soft singing] Let the world keep turning, Let the northern stars shine through. There's a thousand songs inside me, And a lifetime left to choose. [Whispered] My name is Langley. My name is Littlebird. I'm an artist. I'm a mother. I'm a witch. I'm a thousand unfinished dreams. And I am finally... Me. [Final whisper] You couldn't silence me. Not forever. [One final violin note]
