CHAINS OF MY OWN FEAR

[Intro] Born in the quiet of a poisoned mind Where hope was a crime and faith declined I learned to breathe through fractured dreams Choked by silence, torn at the seams [Verse 1] I built my throne from doubt and blame Carved my name into shards of shame Every step felt pre-approved By the fear I never moved. [Verse 2] I drank the lie that kept me small Called it wisdom, called it law I let my courage fossilize While I worshipped compromise. [Pre-Chorus] I bent the knee to thoughts I fed Let paranoia tuck me in bed I mistook survival for peace And mistook restraint for release. [Chorus] These are the chains of my own fear Forged in whispers I held too near Iron vows I swore to keep Promises made in my sleep These are the chains around my soul Silent kings that took control But I hear them crack, I feel them tear I am more than my fear. [Verse 3] I wore my wounds like borrowed skin Let every loss define the win I crowned regret my closest friend Let “what if” write how stories end. [Verse 4] I learned to doubt before I tried Buried truth where courage died Every mirror told me twice I wasn’t worth the sacrifice. [Pre-Chorus] I fed the voice that said “stay low” Called the cage a comfort zone But pressure turns the spark to flame And every scar recalls my name. [Chorus] These are the chains of my own fear Heavy with each wasted year Links of caution, rusted tight Holding back the will to fight These are the chains around my soul But they’re losing their control Hear them scream, feel them tear I am more than my fear. You will fail You will fall You are nothing That’s all [Breakdown] I am the scream you can’t erase I am the fire you couldn’t cage I carried you through blood and doubt Now I rip your fangs straight out Fear You don’t own me Fear You never knew me Fear Say my name I am the storm that breaks your reign. [Bridge] If I fall, I fall ahead Not a victim of what I said Every step into the flame Purifies what fear once claimed I don’t need a perfect past To build a self that’s meant to last I’ll bleed truth into the ground And rise where I was never found. [Chorus] These were the chains of my own fear Built from lies I chose to hear Watch them shatter, feel them clear I was blind, but now I steer No more chains around my soul I reclaim what fear once stole In the silence, sharp and clear I am more I am more I am more than my fear. [Outro] I was never weak or torn I was only waiting to be born (I was only waiting to be born) Lyrics : Suno Song made by Suno
