VERSE 1
I gave you my heart but you let it fall
Lately you gave me nothing at all
I’m picking up the pieces you left behind
This time I’m choosing me won’t let you cross the line
The past we had is fading away
And somehow
I let it go finding my way

VERSE 2
You kept me in circles, lost in your game,
But I won’t be haunted by your name.
I’m out the door, yeah, I’m hittin’ the road,
Droppin’ that weight, no more heavy load
Ain’t losin’ sleep, just feelin’ alive.
Feels good on my own
I’m here to live, no holdin’ back,

PRE-CHORUS
You had me stuck, wrapped up in your mess,
just stop your drama ‘cause I couldn’t care less
I’m walking away
With nothing to fear
I’m seeking my success

CHORUS
I am breaking free
No more shadows from where you have been
Oh I am breathing in
Feels like the start of something new within
I'm gonna live my life
I'm gonna live my life
I'm gonna live my life
I'm gonna live my life

VERSE 3
I Thought I’d be lost but look at me now
Didn’t need your love to figure it out
Chasin’ my own dreams
It's my time to glow
Watch me rise up
Now I run the show
I’m done with the noise, cuttin’ it clean,
Life feels so good
I’m taking control that's all I need

PRE-CHORUS
You had me stuck, wrapped up in your mess,
just stop your drama ‘cause I couldn’t care less
I’m walking away
With nothing to fear
I’m seeking my success

CHORUS
I am breaking free
No more shadows from where you have been
Oh I am breathing in
Feels like the start of something new within
I'm gonna live my life
I'm gonna live my life
I'm gonna live my life
I'm gonna live my life


BRIDGE
The past turns to dust
it’s fading away
I’m letting go
I’m finding my way
Cause from now on
I’m living my life (x2)

CHORUS
I am breaking free
No more shadows from where you have been
Oh I am breathing in
Feels like the start of something new within
I am breaking free
No more shadows from where you have been
Oh I am breathing in
Feels like the start of something new within
I'm gonna live my life
I'm gonna live my life
I'm gonna live my life
I'm gonna live my life

Breaking Free

[verse]
streetlights humming through the window
figures shifting in the limbo
every shape is bending out of place

[verse]
lean too far now i'm weightless
mouth won't move words don't take shape
fingers graze through the hollow air

[chorus]
just a voice that fades each time i try
and a name i call that no one answers now

[verse]
lights burn out closing in fast
every sound lost in the dark
cold seeps in am i falling to my grave?

[verse]
and i fall right through sink out of view
blind from truth the world's slipping through
there’s no ground and there’s no sky above


[chorus]
just a voice that fades each time i try
and a name i call that no one answers now
and the walls closed in before i turned around

[interlude]
god wake me up
god wake me up

[bridge]
all the voices fades each time i call
all the names that never turns around
and all the hands never reaching out

[outro]
no way back
and no way out

a voice that fades

[verse]
write it all down tape it to the door
truth slipping by like water on the floor
lean in close twist it tight
kiss your cheek then start a fight

[pre]
hands on the table voices thin
cracks in the walls light creeping in
hold your breath and count to ten
hope it’s gone when you start again

[chorus]
they told me to trust but i can't believe
said it was love but it felt like a lie
if i let go will i lose my name
or find myself outside the frame

[verse]
raised on rules carved into stone
spoke their prayers but felt alone
smiles too sharp lessons too neat
i won’t kneel just to feel complete

[pre]
hands on the table voices thin
cracks in the walls light creeping in
hold your breath and count to ten
hope it’s gone when you start again

[chorus]
they told me to trust but i can't believe
said it was love but it felt like a lie
if i let go will i lose my name
or find myself outside the frame

Outside the Frame

Outside the Frame

[verse]
lay me down in the riverbed
paint my spine in copper threads
turn my ribs into a wishing well
toss a coin, switch the spell

[pre]
give me your hands, i’ll give you my skin
give me your hands, i’ll give you my bones

[chorus]
wear my voice, breathe it in
wear my voice, breathe it in
trade the scars, trade the sins
let the mirror pull us in
pull us in

[outro]
wrap my nerves in silver wire
tie them tight to your desire

wear my voice (breathe it in)

[verse]
she taps a pencil against the desk
it's just enough to keep you guessed
a tilt of her head, a little smile
now you’re stuck watching her for a while

[verse]
she tilts a chair, when her gaze unwinds
a small distraction blurring the lines
it’s in her moves, and it’s in her sway
she bends the world
she bends the world in her own way
she bends the world

[chorus]
sweet or scary it's hard to tell
and quirks that ring a warning bell
eyes that linger stayed too long
cute at first but flames remain
burning all who join her game

[verse]
with a sweetest voice she could draws you in
your edges blur her games begin
she could make a fool she could softly spoke,
so the ropes you wear start as a joke.

[pre chorus]
favors paid and ladders climbed
she knows the game, she owns the time

[chorus]
sweet or scary it's hard to tell
quirks that ring a warning bell
eyes that linger stayed too long
cute at first but flames remain
burning all who join her game

sweet or scary (hard to tell)

[Intro]
I see shadows moving when there’s no one around
Every corner bends into the shape of doubt

[Verse 1]
Steps behind me, but I’m alone
And it's colder than stone

[Pre Chorus 1]
The clock spins faster, but time stands still
Is this the fall, or is this my will?

[Chorus]
When there is no light here, no way through
A hollow wind whispers my name
Who’s watching? Who’s near?

[Verse 2]
I feel the static hum in the empty space
Every silence shouts what I can’t erase

[Pre Chorus 2]
And here’s a rope above, but it frays with time
Will it hold the weight, or leave me behind?

[Chorus]
When there is no light here, no way through
A hollow wind whispers my name
Who’s watching? Who’s near?

[Interlude]
I can’t trust a single soul here
A thousand lies beneath my skin
But I don’t know where the truth begins

[Outro]
So quiet now
So quiet now
I'm slipping, falling, no ending, no light
I'm spiraling down
[Chorus]
And there is no light here, no way through
A hollow wind whispers my name

Who’s watching? Who’s near?

[Verse 1]
One look from me and the room holds its breath
A turn of my head and you’re dancing with death
You owe me your pride, your tongue, your will
Let’s see if your loyalty’s fragile or steel
[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you will, deny as you must
But power’s no poison, it’s sweet as the dust
Stay on your knee or rise just to fall?
I rule this court, I silence you all
[Chorus]
So, bow to the crown
Bow to the crown
[Verse 2]
Your eyes may glare, but your lips still kiss
Whatever I want, you'll never resist
Weak hands build kingdoms, strong hearts decay
But I'll keep in control, so let come what may
[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you will, deny as you must
But power’s no poison—it’s sweet as the dust
You scurry, you grovel, your place is clear
Remember my whispers are louder than fear

[Chorus]
So, bow to the crown
Bow to the crown
[Bridge]
Kneel before me, rise, and break
Loyalty bends but never shakes
[Outro]
I feed on the praise, drink your esteem
This isn’t power, it’s more like a dream
So bow to the crown
So bow to the crown
And I’ll wear it until I tear you down

Bow to the crown

[Verse 1]
Fingers twitch, resist the glow
A blinking dashboard lined up rows
Red is stop and green's unclear
Riding chaos near
[Verse 2]
Pressing me to erupt
Lights are spinning it's not enough
Once the damage interrupts
And now it’s getting worse
[Pre-Chorus]
Smoke the cabin on the rise
And risk it all just for the sake of "What if I try?"
[Chorus]
Push and pray, and hoping to find
A way to rise
Cleanin up the lines and set it off,
we’re on edge
Push and pray, but the damage is done
Falling faster than the setting sun
We have some fun

[Verse 3]
They say, "What does this one do?" with a crooked smile they stretch denial
Lights flashing, i'm breaking, we're sinking oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Smoke the cabin on the rise
And making faces like child
Saying that "What if I try?"
[Chorus]
Push and pray, and hoping to find
A way to rise
Cleanin up the lines and set it off,
we’re on edge

Push and pray, but the damage is done
Falling faster than the setting sun
We have some fun

Push and pray (but the damage is done)
