Lyric

I am not your god—

I never asked to reign

If power is all you saw

You never saw my pain

I’m just a boy who broke

Too loud for fate to hear

If this is what awakening looks like

Then let it burn me clear

They gave me pills to keep me small

A silent name, a sterile hall

I swallowed storms I couldn’t speak

While heroes laughed above the weak

You call it will—

I call it bruise

I never chose this spark to use

If strength is just a side effect

Then what was I before?

A shadow aching for respect—

A locked and splintered door

I am not your god—

I never asked to reign

If power is all you saw

You never saw my pain

I’m just a boy who broke

Too loud for fate to hear

If this is what awakening looks like

Then let it burn me clear

You think I wanted all this might?

I only wanted to matter in your sight

Kaneda—damn you, why did you stay?

You saw the crack I hide away

I hated how you called my name

Yet needed it the same

So don’t you preach control to me—

I’ve bled just to exist

If destiny demands a key

Then carve it in my fist

I am not your god—

I never asked to reign

If power is all you saw

You never saw my pain

I’m just a boy who broke

Too loud for fate to hear

If this is what awakening looks like

Then let it burn me clear

I won’t kneel to stars or saints

Their halos rot in iron restraints

If I must scream to fill my name

Then let the void recall my claim:

I lived

I shattered

I swore—

I mattered

I am not your god—

Don’t sanctify my rage

If ruin is the only stage

Then write me off the page

I never sought divinity

Only proof I breathed at all

If this is what becoming means—

Then let me rise

And fall

Kaneda… if you remember me

Then I don’t need a throne

Let the new world speak my name—

And know

I died alone
