Title: MEDUSA IS MEDICINE Verse 1 She was mortal Before the lie Before the silence learned its name A god crossed where he had no right And the world looked away Stone walls listened Did not move Power passed the wound along She carried what was never hers And still she lived Still she lived Pre-Chorus If you’ve ever felt Frozen in your skin If the truth felt tangled Or too dangerous to say She is here ⸻ Chorus (Medicine Named) Medusa is medicine Boundary and breath Snakes are her knowing They kept her alive Her gaze is protection Her anger is truth Medusa is medicine She teaches the no ⸻ Verse 2 They named her monster Called it law Turned her body into blame But no one touched her Without consent again Her gaze became a boundary Her boundary became grace She lives in the women Who speak out loud And in those who stay quiet to stay safe In tangled stories Where harm and love collide And nothing fits a single shape ⸻ Pre-Chorus If you’re angry If you’re numb If you don’t know what justice means Your way of surviving Is already enough You are already seen ⸻ Chorus (Repeat / Layered) Medusa is medicine Boundary and breath Snakes are her knowing They kept her alive Her gaze is protection Her anger is truth Medusa is medicine She teaches the no ⸻ Bridge (Spoken / Half-Sung) She was punished For surviving Let that be known And if they blamed her They will try to blame you You do not owe clarity You do not owe forgiveness You do not owe your story To be whole ⸻ Chant Break (Rising) There is no wrong way To stay alive There is no timeline For truth to arrive (repeat softly, then build) ⸻ Final Chorus (Anthem) Medusa is medicine Fire made clear Medusa is medicine You are still here From silence to courage From witness to flame Medusa is medicine Remember your name ⸻ Outro Look back Or don’t Both are brave Look around You are not alone
