Crossed The Line

Lyrics

[Intro] Steel under my fingertips The room holds its breath [Verse 1] You drew a line across the floor Like I would never cross it I kept the names, I kept the score I know exactly what it cost me The walls you built are paper-thin I hear the doubt behind them You called the silence discipline But I was learning how to fight back [Pre-Chorus] Count every scar you gave me Count every door you locked I’m done waiting for permission I’m done afraid to knock [Chorus] I won’t bend, I won’t break I won’t carry your weight When the pressure comes down I’ll be the sound that shakes the ground Raise your hands, face the flame I’m not hiding from my name You can bury me deep But I’ll come back with my teeth [Verse 2] The clock ran red across the wall While you rehearsed excuses I watched the strongest promise fall And learned what truth refuses No crown, no throne, no borrowed pride No witness I can’t live without I found the part you tried to hide And dragged it into daylight now [Pre-Chorus] Count every scar you gave me Count every door you locked I’m done waiting for permission I’m done afraid to knock [Chorus] I won’t bend, I won’t break I won’t carry your weight When the pressure comes down I’ll be the sound that shakes the ground Raise your hands, face the flame I’m not hiding from my name You can bury me deep But I’ll come back with my teeth [Bridge] Say it louder I survived Say it louder Still alive No more taking what you’re owed No more walking your old road [Breakdown] Cut the chain Crush the lock Stand your ground Take the shock I am not your consequence I am not your consequence [Final Chorus] I won’t bend, I won’t break I won’t carry your weight When the pressure comes down I’ll be the sound that shakes the ground Raise your hands, face the flame I’m not hiding from my name You can bury me deep But I’ll come back with my teeth [Outro] Steel under my fingertips The room can hold its breath I crossed the line you drew for me And found what comes next
