Lyrics

I learned my shape from borrowed lines
From voices older than my skin
They called it honor, called it fate
And dressed my silence up as sin
I carried names I didn't earn
I paid for wars I couldn't see
They said, this weight will make you strong
They never said it would bury me
They taught my knees how not to bend
They never taught my heart to rest
I'm done with the weight I didn't choose
With every crown that cuts like truth
I lay it down, I break the chain
I want my days to feel like rain
I'm done with the weight I didn't choose
With every rule that killed my youth
If I'm to love, I'll love unarmed
No borrowed cross, no shadowed name
I kept their dreams inside my chest
Like locked demands I had to keep
I smiled in photographs of duty
While my real voice learned how to sleep
They praised my strength in public rooms
But never asked me who I was
I learned to stand like expectation
And collapse like dust at dusk
They taught my hands to hold the line
They never taught them how to release
I'm done with the weight I didn't choose
With every crown that cuts like truth
I lay it down, I break the chain
I want my days to feel like rain
I'm done with the weight I didn't choose
With every rule that killed my youth
If I'm to love, I'll love unarmed
No borrowed cross, no shadowed name
They called it destiny
I call it what survived me
I'm done with the weight I didn't choose
With every mask they called my proof
I lay it down at your doorstep
Not for release, for truth
If I am to stay, I stay as me
No father's war inside my chest
I choose my steps, I choose my fall
I choose to love
And leave the rest
I leave the rest
I leave the rest
