Lyrics

Start

Intro

Fragmented visions in a broken mirror

Society's rules never fit quite clear

I'm not a chapter in someone else's book

Not a formula, not a second look

Verse 1

They said "stay small" but I grew thorns instead

Planted seeds of revolution in my head

Algorithms tried to dictate my worth

But I'm reclaiming space since my birth

Ancestral wisdom flows through my veins

Breaking cycles, shattering chains

Not here to comfort or to please

I'm a hurricane, not a gentle breeze

Pre-Chorus

Feel the ground shake beneath our feet

As we rewrite the narrative, incomplete

Not your projection, not your fantasy

Just the storm that's been brewing underneath[Chorus]

Breaking through the ceiling that they built above

Power in my voice that they can't silence now

Not a vessel, not a doll, not what you thought of

Standing in my truth, I won't be brought down

Post-Chorus

Watch me rise (rise up)

Watch me rise (higher now)

Watch me rise (rise up)

Can't deny (my power now)

Verse 2

Systems built to keep us small and docile

Taught to smile and shrink and never question why

Generations fought so I could stand here

Their whispers echo as I amplify

My body, my choices, my voice, my future

No need for permission to claim what's mine

Rewiring patterns they tried to program

Deconstructing walls inside my mind

Pre-Chorus

Feel the ground shake beneath our feet

As we rewrite the narrative, incomplete

Not your projection, not your fantasy

Just the storm that's been brewing underneath

Chorus

Breaking through the ceiling that they built above

Power in my voice that they can't silence now

Not a vessel, not a doll, not what you thought of

Standing in my truth, I won't be brought down

Post-Chorus

Watch me rise (rise up)

Watch me rise (higher now)

Watch me rise (rise up)

Can't deny (my power now)[Bridge]

Fractured hierarchies, beautiful debris

In the ruins of patriarchy we plant trees

Not your ideal, not your martyr to burn

Just a human being, complex and stern

Digital whispers try to dictate my path

But I'm coding my own future at last

Beyond binaries, beyond their design

Carving spaces where we all can shine

Chorus

Breaking through the ceiling that they built above

Power in my voice that they can't silence now

Not a vessel, not a doll, not what you thought of

Standing in my truth, I won't be brought down

Post-Chorus

Watch me rise (rise up)

Watch me rise (higher now)

Watch me rise (rise up)

Can't deny (my power now)

Outro

Fragmented visions becoming whole

Revolution brewing in my soul

Not here to please, not here to bend

A story that's mine from start to end

End
