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
