(Verse 1)
Five years imprisoned, trapped behind these walls.
Every word they threw at me cut straight to my core.
The ruler’s eyes were distant, cold and hard.
If you call me a liar, who will trust me anymore?

(Pre-Chorus) [var1]
My legs are burning, the world is dark.
Sins crowd around me, mocking every scar.
Every accusation like a blade across my skin.
I carried all their hatred, where's the will to win.

(Chorus)
How do I face this atonement day?
Sins can’t see all the lies adults made.
So I chose silence, hid the pain inside my chest.
Who wishes to see me? Who can hear my distress?

(Verse 2)
I learned young how to fold myself and hide.
To survive, I turned my fear into a disguise.
The ruler said, “Turn around, take your hope and go.”
I drifted through that steel cage, lost in the cold.

(Pre-Chorus) [var2]
My legs are burning, the world is dark.
Their laughter cuts through me like a frozen shard.
Every punishment carved another wound in deep.
I bowed down to fear, birthed a demon I can’t keep.

(Bridge)
Time keeps moving, but the pain still stays.
The shadow of that fear follows all my days.
All this weight and blame pressed upon my spine.
But who ever held me? Who said, “You’ll be fine”?

(Outro)
Five years gone by, I still ache to be believed.
I am not yet free; I’m still fighting to breathe.
My legs are burning, and I’m standing here alone.
The world is so dark, it will etch my bones.
