Woke up inside the same four walls
Painted with my own thoughts
Every word I never said
Echoes louder in my head
I pace the floor, I wear the ground
Trying not to break down now
I keep smiling, keep the act
But I’m tired of living like that

I built this cage to feel safe
Now it’s the thing I’m afraid of

I’m fighting my way out
Of the dark I learned to breathe
Every lock I ever made
Is finally giving in to me
I don’t need permission
To feel, to fall, to stand
I’m opening the door
With my own hands

I memorized the sound of doubt
Like it’s truth when it speaks out
Every “what if” every “why”
Keeps me up another night
I thought surviving was enough
But I’m done just holding on
I don’t want to fade away
I want to live inside the day

I kept myself small to stay alive
But I’m done hiding in my mind

I’m fighting my way out
Of the weight I couldn’t see
Every fear I let decide
Is loosening its grip on me
I don’t need forgiveness
For being who I am
I’m opening the door
With my own hands

If I fall, I’ll feel the ground
If I break, I’ll hear the sound
At least it’s real, at least it’s me
At least I’m finally free

I’m fighting my way out
Of the silence I became
I don’t need to disappear
Just to quiet down the pain
I don’t need a perfect plan
I just need to stand
I’m opening the door
With my own hands

The cage was never locked
It was just fear holding on
And I’m letting go.

!!UPDATES!!  Enjoy New Year's! (Pause on music for now)


You've come to the correct place if you are looking for music that hits you with lyrics. I've come to drop off a completely different style of music. Welcome to the fire.
