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
