Lyrics

(Verse 1)
You built the prison with a velvet key
Told me exactly who I had to be
Measured my breathing, controlled my mind
Leaving a broken shell behind
But the concrete’s cracking under my feet
I hear the rhythm of a brand new beat
The fog is clearing, the vision is plain
I’m washing away the dirt and the stain

(Pre-Chorus)
The lock is broken, the cage is wide
No more hiding the fire inside

(Chorus)
Unshackled, I am finally free
Reclaiming the pieces of what used to be
You held the anchor, you held the weight
But I am the author of my own fate
Out of the shadow, into the light
Unshackled and ready to fight

(Verse 2)
You played the victim, you played the saint
Painting a picture that I couldn’t paint
Feeding on doubt, living on fear
But your words don't mean a damn thing here
The strings are severed, the puppet is gone
I'm standing tall at the break of the dawn
Look at the hands that you tried to bind
Leaving your toxic kingdom behind

(Pre-Chorus)
The lock is broken, the cage is wide
No more hiding the fire inside

(Chorus)
Unshackled, I am finally free
Reclaiming the pieces of what used to be
You held the anchor, you held the weight
But I am the author of my own fate
Out of the shadow, into the light
Unshackled and ready to fight

(Bridge)
Cut the cord! Break the chain!
No more suffering! No more pain!
I am whole! I am loud!
Standing tall and standing proud!
Broken free!
Look at me!

(Breakdown)
No more chains!
No more ties!
Watch me rise!
No more chains!
No more ties!

(Chorus)
Unshackled, I am finally free
Reclaiming the pieces of what used to be
You held the anchor, you held the weight
But I am the author of my own fate
Out of the shadow, into the light
Unshackled and ready to fight

(Outro)
Unshackled.
