As if I were the storm when you built your wall.
As if I were the storm when you built your wall. Every word fell like another brick, Silence turned into a silent trick. I tried to breathe, but air was thin, Lost myself trying to let you in. Wires burn with tension high, All your lessons turn against you now. You wanted power, lost the key, Now won't become what you chose for me. Drowned in echoes of your sound, Rising from the depths I've found. Fire lives in fractures of my skin, And burns away the pain within. I'm not your machine, Won't break just to fix your dream. Not the shape you wanted me to be. I'm still alive beneath! You can't rewrite my soul, Can't make broken feel like home. Cutting through the noise inside of me... I'm not your machine! No! I'm not your failure! No! I'm not your fear! No! I don't disappear! Every scar became a warning sign, Every lie became a line I crossed. I gave you years, I gave you time, But I'll no longer pay the cost. No more bending, no more change, Living with your blame — it's over now. Scream, judge, hate — do whatever you can, But choosing fate belongs to me alone. I know I might fall, I know I might break, But every mistake is mine to take. Maybe I wasn't broken after all, Maybe I was simply scared. Maybe all the words you gave to me Were walls I had to tear. I don't need your perfect mirror, Don't need your golden crown. I'd rather lose your version than stay unfound. I'm not your machine, Won't break just to fix your dream. Not the shape you wanted me to be. I'm still alive beneath! You can't rewrite my soul, Can't make broken feel like home. Cutting through the noise inside of me... I'm not your machine! Finally awake. Finally me.
