[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I wore the shadows like a second skin,
Whispers of ānot enoughā crawling within.
Bent beneath the weight of borrowed light,
A fractured soul, too scared to f***t.
Yeah-yeah, oh-oh-ohā¦
[Pre-Chorus]
But the fire in my veins wouldnāt fade,
A spark in the dark, the price I paid.
Now I see the cracks where the glory beginsā
(Oh-oh-oh) Ready to rise from where Iāve been.
[Chorus]
Iām golden, golden, breaking the mold again,
No chains holding, Iām taking back my name.
Unbreakable, untameable, the storm meets my flame,
Watch me rise, watch me roarāIām golden! (So golden!)
Ah-ha, golden!
[Verse 2]
I traced my scars in the mirrorās glare,
Turned all the āneverāsā to a battle cry in the air.
No more kneeling to a borrowed throne,
The queen of shadows claims her own.
Yeah-yeah, oh-oh-ohā¦
[Pre-Chorus]
The world said āshrink,ā but my heart screamed āroar,ā
A diamond forged in the deepest w*r.
Every doubt now a stepping stoneā
(Oh-oh-oh) This phoenix flies where she belongs.
[Chorus]
Iām golden, golden, breaking the mold again,
No chains holding, Iām taking back my name.
Unbreakable, untameable, the storm meets my flame,
Watch me rise, watch me roarāIām golden! (So golden!)
Ah-ha, golden!
[Bridge]
Breathe in, let the silence shake,
The walls I built, the ground I break.
(Oh-oh-ohā¦) The night surrenders to the dawnā
This is where the lost become the storm.
[Chorus]
Iām golden, golden, breaking the mold again,
No chains holding, Iām taking back my name.
Unbreakable, untameable, the storm meets my flame,
Watch me rise, watch me roarāIām golden! (So golden!)
Ah-ha, golden!
