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
