Under the dust I see it clear
The weight I carried all those years
Your shadows stretched
’til They blocked the sun
But now I’m here, I’ve just begun

Don’t wanna be your,
salvation
Or your half drunk,
desperation
I’m not a prize for your,
consolation
Hearing your confession in the dark

I’ve been the sinner
I’ve been a clone
I’ve been the saint
But now I’m mine, I’m my own
I’m not your mirror
not yours to own
I’m not for saving
I am my own

danced on the thin ice
saw my reflection below
or was it me, I guess
I guess we’ll never know
Built my wings from ash and bone
you Watched them burn
while I rose and flew alone

Fingers pointed
Hearts deceived
Tangled roots grow ’neath what we believe
But I am the fire
I am the rain
I am the wind
I am my own again

I’ve been the sinner
I’ve been a clone
I’ve been the saint
But now I’m mine, I’m my own
I’m not your mirror
not yours to own
I’m not for saving
I am my own
