Lyrics

I was raised in a house made of borrowed rules
Ironed your clothes, played the part of a fool
Little girl with a grown-up spine
Learned how to carry what wasn't mine
No name, no voice, just a role to play
Love came with terms I had to obey
You called it God, I called it fear
Every time I tried to disappear
You said light was the only way
But your love felt like a cage
So I went down, down like Persephone
Not lost—just finally choosing me
You call it dark, I call it free
I found my voice in the in-between
No more chains dressed up as love
No more prayers from fear above
If hell is where I'm meant to be
Then hell is where I'll learn to breathe
You said I'd burn if I walked my path
But I've been in fire—I know that math
Truth don't shake just because you pray
And love don't leave when I walk away
You post my ghost like I'm gone for good
But I'm more alive than you understood
You want the girl who would bend and break
But I buried her at the garden gate
You don't get to follow me down here
This is my choice, my voice, my year
I'm not your sinner, I'm not your saint
I'm everything you said I ain't
I went down, down like Persephone
Not stolen—this was destiny
You kept the light, I took the key
And built a world that answered me
