Verse 1: I walked through towns with stories untold Words behind my back, like knives-- So cold Tried to box me in plastic and grace Yet, I made my own place Yeah, my own place
Chorus: Turning up eyes to the skies today Because abusers feel no shame No, they feel no shame Breaking chains with thunder, not blame Fill the silence with our names Abusers feel no shame
Verse 2: The moment you stop shrinking, Burn bright through the pain The chains don’t fall-- You tear them with flame They said I was fragile, they called me by name But I rose like thunder--and I’ll never be the same The same
(Chorus)
Bridge: Let them name your fears, burn those years Every scar’s a closing door You call it weakness, I call it war No more—no more
(Chorus X2, Bridge)
Verse 3: They try to bury you, Show them you bloom Grow wild in the places They once called tombs You carry the fire, you carry the flame No one who sees you will leave the same
Not exactly a songwriter, but the chorus popped in my head and with a lil help from AI, I built on that. Let me know your thoughts
Small Edit: Changed "prisoners" to "abusers" due to it aligning more with the message
