[Verse 1] I learned silence before I learned my name Built my spine in the shadow of shame Hands like chains, words like knives They tried to own the will in my eyes I bled obedience into the floor Swore I’d never be weak anymore If pain was a language I had to speak Then I’d rewrite it, fierce not meek [Pre-Chorus] You fed on fear, you crowned yourself king But you never saw the storm you made in me [Chorus] I stand—unbowed, unbroken Still breathing through the scars you wrote in I rise from the dark you designed You don’t define me—I reclaim what’s mine I won’t kneel, I won’t fall I’ve outlived the worst of it all From the fire you thought would destroy I forged my throne—unbroken [Verse 2] You said my strength was a flaw, a sin That survival meant letting you win But every night I endured alone Carved iron into bone I stitched my soul with rage and grace Learned how to stare down fate If I trembled, I still stood tall Defiance echoes louder than your call [Pre-Chorus] I am not your silence anymore I am the war you can’t ignore [Chorus] I stand—unbowed, unbroken Still breathing through the scars you wrote in I rise from the dark you designed You don’t define me—I reclaim what’s mine I won’t kneel, I won’t fall I’ve outlived the worst of it all From the fire you thought would destroy I forged my throne—unbroken [Bridge] (Half-time, choir-heavy) I was never weak for surviving you I was learning how to see it through Every “stay quiet,” every “behave” Just taught me how to dig my grave— And climb out screaming (Beat drops back in) You don’t own my breath You don’t get my death [Final Chorus] (Lifted, full orchestration) I stand—unyielding, untamed I wear my scars like holy names Let the past scream, let it burn I am the lesson it never learned I won’t kneel, I won’t fall I survived—now I stand taller than all From the ashes of what you destroyed I forged my throne—this crown is mine! [Outro] I am still here. I am still whole. I reclaimed my name, my breath, my soul. From the dark, I rise anew— Still standing—despite you.
