" RED RISE " Emma Carter

#originalsong #ownbyemmacarter #music #lyrics They wanted silence They wanted grace But I learned early Fire leaves a trace I was the shadow in crowded rooms Always strong, never assumed I carried storms behind my smile Stayed too soft for way too long You called my hunger “too much pride” Said I should dim what’s burning inside But pressure cracked my quiet skin That’s how the heat got let in I don’t step back, I don’t hide I don’t apologize for my fight If my hands shake, it’s not fear It’s the power getting near I RISE IN RED From the cuts you left I don’t heal to forget I RISE IN RED No saints, no shame I turned my hurt to flame You wanted me dressed in regret But I RISE IN RED Red on my pulse Red in my veins This isn’t anger This is gain I don’t need love that asks me to kneel I don’t trust words that don’t feel real If I walk away, I walk tall I don’t lose sleep, I don’t stall You watched me build with broken hands Turned survival into a plan I learned calm doesn’t mean weak I learned fire can speak You mistook my heart for glass But it was steel beneath the cracks I RISE IN RED Not pure, not tame I don’t fit inside your frame But,I RISE IN RED Say my name when you pretend That you don’t remember the end I was forged where rules were bent Yeah, I RISE IN RED Listen I didn’t glow, I earned this shine Every loss crossed a line I don’t need luck, I calculated Every doubt you had, I violated I don’t wait, I activate I don’t chase, I dominate If they fear me, let it spread That’s what happens when I rise in red I RISE IN RED Say it strong, say it clear I’m still standing, still right here I RISE IN RED From the fall, from the test I didn’t break, I progressed This is power fully fed I don’t fade… But,I RISE IN RED I RISE IN RED Red isn’t ruin Red is return Red is what survives When everything burns
