Lyrics
Verse 1
Blood don’t always mean safe or kind
Some names just poison your peace of mind
Smiles with knives, old guilt and blame
Family wounds that still know your name
He packed those voices in a box
Left them locked behind a door
Verse 2
Stress rode shotgun every day
Choking the light, stealing the way
Bottles, pills, whatever numbed
Promises broken, nights undone
He faced the mirror, said “not me
Dropped the weight and let it be
Chorus
I’m breaking free from the things that bind
The slow decay, the war inside
No more chains dressed up as needs
No more dying just to please
I choose my breath, I choose my name
I walk away without the shame
This is me, finally
Breaking free
[Solo]
Verse 3
Left that job that paid in pain
Clocked his life in someone else’s gain
Success built on sleepless nights
Empty wins and borrowed fights
Found rich days in simpler air
Time enough to finally care
Verse 4
Bad love burned but taught him truth
Bad habits stole his fire and youth
He cut them loose, one by one
Till the healing had begun
Some doors slam, some lights come on
That’s how you know you’re moving on
Chorus
I’m breaking free from the things that bind
The slow decay, the war inside
No more chains dressed up as needs
No more dying just to please
I choose my breath, I choose my name
I walk away without the shame
This is me, finally
Breaking free
[Solo]
Outro
Freedom ain’t loud, it don’t need proof
It shows up quiet, raw, and true
Not running fast, not looking back
Just standing strong on solid ground
If it costs me what I used to be
It’s worth the price I’m breaking free
