Weight of Fire

Pull me under…

Pull me under… You wanted me buried— So why am I still

breathing?

I feel the weight around my neck,

Every promise, every

regret.

Dragging me beneath the surface,

Like I’m nothing, like I’m worthless.

I gave you everything I had,

You gave me reasons to look back.

Now every chain you’ve wrapped around me

Is another reason you won’t drown me.

I’ve carried this long enough,

I’ve swallowed every lie.

You thought I’d disappear— But I’m still alive.

I’m not your deadweight!

I’m not the one you bury!

You pushed me to the bottom,

But you couldn’t keep me there.

I’m not your failure!

I’m not your fucking shame!

You tried to break my backbone,

Now I’m stronger from the pain.

Another day, another scar,

Another reminder of who you are.

You built your throne from broken bones,

Then wondered why I left you alone.

I hear your voice inside my head,

Every word you wish you’d said.

But I’m done living in your shadow,

I’m done begging for tomorrow.

I’ve carried this long enough,

I’ve swallowed every lie.

You thought I’d disappear— But I’m still alive.

I’m not your deadweight!

I’m not the one you bury!

You pushed me to the bottom,

But you couldn’t keep me there.

I’m not your failure!

I’m not your fucking shame!

You tried to break my backbone,

Now I’m stronger from the pain.

Maybe I’m damaged… Maybe I’m scarred… Maybe the pieces Were never meant

to fit. But every fracture

Taught me to fight.

And every shadow

Led me to the light.

CUT THE CHAINS! (ahhhh) I WON’T SINK!

CUT THE CORD! (yeah)

I WON’T BREAK! YOU WANTED ME

SIX FEET UNDER— NOW WATCH ME

CLAW MY WAY

OUT!

I’m not your deadweight!

I’m not the one you bury!

You pushed me to the bottom,

But you couldn’t keep me there.

I’m not your failure!

I’m not your fucking shame!

You tried to break my

backbone, Now I’m stronger from the pain.

You couldn’t bury me.

YOU MADE ME. You couldn’t break me.

YOU MADE ME STRONGER.
