(Verse 1)

Built walls so high, I couldn't see,

The vibrant world that lived outside of me.

Locked every door, threw away the key,

A prisoner of what they wanted me to be.

(Pre-Chorus)

But a tiny crack appeared, a sliver of light,

Whispering promises of a future bright.

(Chorus)

Find myself,

Not in their stories, not on their shelves.

Breaking these walls,

I knew I’d

Find myself,

In the open air, where my true spirit dwells.

(Verse 2)

I echoed their laughter, mimicked their sighs,

Wore their smiles like a thin disguise.

But in the silence, a voice started to rise…
