Free

Lyrics

I stepped out of the circle they drew around my name A line undone by motion, a map erased by flame No fathered fear behind me, no borrowed truth ahead I walk where the horizon forgets the paths it's bled

Their rules were made of echoes of someone else's doubt They prayed to painted boundaries, then wondered why I walked out I wear no mark of master, no crest upon my chest I answer to the silence that calls me from my nest

Every step a declaration Every breath a quiet coup I unlearn their calibration I become what I walk through

I am free Not untamed, but unclaimed Not disorder, but design I am free A sovereign breath In a borrowed slice of time

No lineage to bind me, no script that I must say I trade their "ought" and "always" for what ignites my day If they call it defiance, they never understood That freedom without conscience is just a poisoned wood

Every silence is a treaty Every "no" a lifted key I am not their perfect citizen I am only, wholly, me

I am free Not untamed, but unclaimed Not disorder, but design I am free A sovereign breath In a borrowed slice of time

No tradition owns my outline No system crowns my head My life is not a reaction It's a sentence I have said

I am free In the distance I'm creating On the road I redefine I am free Just a fragile, burning moment That refuses to align
