Shadow of memories

The sorrow, the sadness

The sentient sentiment

The sweetness and bitterness

A taste of despair

Of the image of what could have been

And there’s nothing left to share

(Pre-Chorus)

The feeling of betrayal

Right after the veil was lifted

The fear of belonging

Not knowing what was coming

Between the darkness

A fissure has opened

(Chorus)

I say no to conformity

Life has broken me

I came down, feet on the ground

Still I stand upright

Keeping my head held high

Between the darkness and the light

(Verse 2)

Fragments of silence

Echoes I cannot outrun

Shadows of memories

Burning like the sun

The weight of the truth

Cuts deeper than the lie

Still I keep walking

With fire in my eyes

(Pre-Chorus)

The feeling of betrayal

Right after the veil was lifted

The fear of belonging

Not knowing what was coming

Between the darkness

A fissure has opened

(Chorus)

I say no to conformity

Life has broken me

I came down, feet on the ground

Still I stand upright

Keeping my head held high

Between the darkness and the light

(Bridge)

I won’t be shaped

By the hands that tried to break me

I won’t be lost

In the silence that betrayed me

Through the ashes

I remember who I am

(Final Chorus)

I say no to conformity

Life has broken me

But I rose, feet on the ground

Now I stand upright

Keeping my soul alive

Between the darkness and the light

(Outro)

The sorrow, the sadness

The sweetness and bitterness

A taste of despair

But still—I’m here
