Independence

I cut the wire from my chest

Felt the silence do the rest

No more voices in my head

No more chains beneath my bed

I walked away without a sound

Left my past face down on the ground

Every step felt like a crime

Leaving who I was behind

I was built inside a cage

Every love became a wage

Every dream was not my own

Every seed was never sown

Now the air feels different here

I can hear my lil believe me

I can finally be me

I can finally be me

Independence in my veins

Washing out the old remains

Every scar begins to close

Every truth begins to show

Every truth begins to show

I dont need their eyes on me

I dont need their sympathy

I dont need a crown to stand

I just need my open hands

They can keep the fading throne

I was never truly home

I was living in disguise

Now I see through clearer eyes

Now I see through clearer eyes

Independence tastes like pain

Tastes like pain

Like dancing naked in the rain

In the rain

Cold and sharp but it is real

This is how it feels to heal

I forgive the past and go

I release what I outgrow

I was lost but now I see

I belong to only me
