[Verse]
A night of shadows creeping near
They taught us fear year after year
They blame the skirts we chose to wear
But I’d take my chances with the bear
[Chorus]
We roar louder when we're hurt
Our battle’s rising from the dirt
We’re not possessions locked in chains
We’re wildfires breaking through the rains
[Verse 2]
Locked doors and keys they're not enough
We're told to smile while acting tough
I feel safer in the darkened wood
Than near the hands that never could
[Chorus]
We roar louder when we're hurt
Our battle’s rising from the dirt
We’re not possessions locked in chains
We’re wildfires breaking through the rains
[Bridge]
Hearts of steel wrapped in soft skin
Tired of losing when we begin
No more prey in your cruel game
We’re not your trophies not your shame
[Verse 3]
Let the forest be my only guide
I see in amber as it burns inside
No fear of claws no fear of teeth
Just freedom’s howl beneath my grief
