Verse 1 Change cuts deep, yeah, it shakes the floor Growth leaves bruises you can’t ignore But being stuck? That’s a silent w*r A prison wide open, no lock on the door I smile loud while I fade inside Riding ghosts of the dreams I hide Built a home where the hurt resides Now I’m choking on the tears I lied Pre-Chorus Tried to cover the cracks with gold But truth don’t bend, and paint gets old You can’t fake peace when your soul’s on hold Can’t play safe when the silence cold Chorus It ain’t just fear—it’s life on mute Forgot who I was tryna fit that suit Lost my name just to wear their truth But it never fit, so now I cut loose Change got teeth, and growth got flame But stuck’s a burn that won’t say your name I’d rather break than feel nothing at all Let the ashes fall Verse 2 I wore my silence like it fit just right But it wrapped too tight every single night Stepped from the dark, let the fire breathe Burned down the cage they built for me I’ve outgrown hands that trimmed my wings Kept me boxed in, clipped my dreams This ain’t brave—it’s the truth I bleed Scars that hurt but learn to heal me Pre-Chorus Walk that edge, no second guess Better lost than a soul in debt To a past that blurred my light To a path that never felt right Chorus It ain’t just fear—it’s life on mute Forgot who I was tryna fit that suit Lost my name just to wear their truth But it never fit, so now I cut loose Change got teeth, and growth got flame But stuck’s a burn that won’t say your name I’d rather break than feel nothing at all Let the ashes fall Bridge I’d rather bleed in the open air Than suffocate in a love that’s scared Every scar is a map I keep Every wound taught my soul to speak If I get lost, at least I’m free No chains, no ghost, no half of me Final Chorus (Lift) It ain’t just fear—it’s life on mute Forgot who I was tryna fit that suit Lost my name just to wear their truth But it never fit, so I cut loose Change got teeth, and growth got flame But stuck’s a burn that won’t say your name I’d rather break than feel nothing at all Let the ashes fall—let the ashes fall Outro Change is wild, yeah, it cuts and climbs But I’d rather get lost than live their lie Let the ashes fall…
