No Chains

Verse 1 (low baritone, punchy, almost talking through the anger)

I’ve been pushed, I’ve been shoved

Laughed at, broken, not enough

Told to bow, told to crawl

But I’m not listening… not anymore

Pre-Chorus (mid-range, growling, tension building)

Every lie you fed me

Every hand that tried to bend me

I feel it boil inside

And I won’t hide

Chorus (lift, gritty, baritone + slight distortion, one high note peak on the last line)

I’ve got no chains, no control

Fire raging through my soul

You won’t silence, you won’t break

I’m alive… and I won’t wait! (hit the high note here, let it scream)

Verse 2 (keep baritone, rhythmic aggression, slight twang in delivery)

All the nights I sat in doubt

All the screams I kept inside

Now I rise, no backing down

You can’t touch… what I’ve survived

Pre-Chorus (same as first, but slightly louder, more urgency)

Every lie you fed me

Every hand that tried to bend me

I feel it boil inside

And I won’t hide

Chorus (repeat with more grit, stretch that high note even longer)

I’ve got no chains, no control

Fire raging through my soul

You won’t silence, you won’t break

I’m alive… and I won’t wait! (high note scream / hold, let it ring)

Bridge / Breakdown (full release, scream optional, let emotion dictate the phrasing)

Let it rip, let it burn

All the lessons I had to learn

No more fear, no disguise

Feel the fire… in my eyes! (can hit another high note here for effect)

Outro (controlled, resolved, grit in the baritone)

No chains… no chains…

I’m still standing… still alive
