were you left me

On My Own

Text:
Verse 1
They said don’t touch the fire,
They said the truth will burn.
But I was born with questions
that never cease to turn.
A whisper in the shadows,
a spark inside the brain —
you can’t unteach the hunger
once it knows your name.

Pre-Chorus
You built your golden walls so high,
but knowledge always learns to fly.

Chorus
Forbidden fruit — I tasted light,
and I won’t crawl back into night.
You hold the power, hold the crown,
but every lie will tumble down.
We bit the apple, now we see —
your paradise was never free.

(solo)

Verse 2
You preach of sin and order,
we see the fear behind your eyes.
You call it peace, we call it silence,
you call it faith — we call it lies.
The garden’s gone, the world’s awake,
we won’t unlearn, we won’t obey.

Bridge
Oh, knowledge burns — but it’s divine,
a fire older than your line.
Let thunder speak, let reason sing,
we are the fall — and the awakening.

(solo)

Final Chorus
Forbidden fruit — I tasted light,
and I won’t crawl back into night.
You wrote the rules, we broke them clean,
the rebels of a broken dream.
Now truth is wild, now truth is free —
and that’s the world you’ll fear to see.

Slave to Nothing
