歌詞

Every step I take, the past gets lighter

City lights cut my shadow loose

No chains… not on me anymore

Left behind dreams, rusted memories

Still feel the heat in my pocket, it lingers

In locked-up rooms I used to draw the sky

I’ll never go back to that version of me

Neon drips down on rain-washed streets

Heartbeat’s the drum, pain is the melody

In the darkest nights I found my flame

That’s the fire that keeps me running now

Voices from the past try to pull me back

But my eyes stay fixed straight ahead

These footprints will speak my truth

Freedom’s not given, it’s taken

No chains, nothing holding me down

Tear the night apart, breathe it in loud

The only thing I won’t let go is this heat

Break the cage inside my chest tonight

No chains, I’m past the pain

Running to meet the brand-new me

I’ll keep on going ‘til I see the light

And I ain’t ever turning back

Days I was tied to what they expected

Smiling outside but inside I was screaming

The voice saying “I’m fine as me”

Finally broke out into the streets tonight

Shadows still follow but I push my speed

No looking back, I’m in the lead

If the answer’s waiting at the end of this run

Then I’ll bet it all, no second thoughts

Voices from the past try to pull me back

But my eyes stay fixed straight ahead

These footprints will speak my truth

Freedom’s not given, it’s taken

No chains, nothing holding me down

Tear the night apart, breathe it in loud

The only thing I won’t let go is this heat

Break the cage inside my chest tonight

No chains, I’m past the pain

Running to meet the brand-new me

I’ll keep on going ‘til I see the light

And I ain’t ever turning back

Somewhere far, the morning calls my name

The dark will always try to test my flame

But this fire in my chest

No one can ever put it out

No chains, nothing holding me down

Tear the night apart, breathe it in loud

The only thing I won’t let go is this heat

Break the cage inside my chest tonight

No chains, I’m past the pain

Running to meet the brand-new me

I’ll keep on going ‘til I see the light

And I ain’t ever turning back

No chains…

Just freedom now…
