Center Frame

[Intro] [Verse 1] Pages turned with me on the edge, blurred in every memory you kept. Scissors tried to cut my silhouette, but the shadow’s all you get. I wore the silence like a stain, smiled while you framed me in the gray. But the paint’s still wet, and I’m breaking the chains— this is where your narrative frays. [Pre-Chorus] I’ve been the ghost in your parade, the echo lost in the noise you made. But the spotlight’s mine, no more charades— watch the curtain fall away. [Chorus] I’m the center frame, I won’t fade away! You can crop me out, but I’m here to stay. I’ve been quiet, but not today— I take my place, I light the flame! I’m not just part of your picture game, I’m the voice—I’m the name—CENTER FRAME! [Verse 2] Now the lens is pulling into focus, every crack you thought would break me shows. I’m the storm inside the calm you wrote off— you should’ve known I’d outgrow the rose. The script you burned, I rewrote the lines, turned your ā€œneverā€ into my climb. The credits roll, but this story’s mine— I’m the anthem, not the footnote this time. [Pre-Chorus] You built the walls, but I’m the spark, the reckoning that floods the dark. This ain’t your scene, it’s my beating heart— the masterpiece you tried to discard. [Chorus] I’m the center frame, I won’t fade away! You can crop me out, but I’m here to stay. I’ve been quiet, but not today— I take my place, I light the flame! I’m not just part of your picture game, I’m the voice—I’m the name—CENTER FRAME! [Bridge] I’ve traced the scars where you wrote the end, but the fire in my lungs ain’t yours to bend. If the world’s a stage, let it shake again— I’m rewriting every ā€œneverā€ into ā€œ*amen*.ā€ [Final Chorus] I’m the center frame, I’m crashing the screen! No more living in the in-between. Every wound you swore would define me? It’s the gold that built my dynasty! I’m the center frame, unapologetic and brave— the hero, not the shadow you saved! I’m the voice—I’m the name—CENTER FRAME!
