chrysalis

I'm no lie
But you spin the crime
They all pick a side
Still I burn, (still) I rise
You're all eyes
But I won't rewind
Let me shine
I'm no lie
But you twist the lines
They all pick a side
Still I burn, (still) I rise
You're all eyes
But I won't rewind
Watch me shine
I didn't scream, I didn't plead
I watched the fire dance for me
Whispers arise like gentle breeze
You breathe them in like healing seas
You locked me down with angry seeds
Hung me high, I didn't bleed
Oh darling, I was born for this
I break the hush of chrysalis
I'm no lie
But you spin the crime
They all pick a side
Still I burn, (still) I rise
You're all eyes
But I won't rewind
Let me shine
I'm no lie
But you twist the lines
They all pick a side
Still I burn, (still) I rise
You're all eyes
But I won't rewind
Watch me shine
I was made to
Shed the hush and cry
Soft heart, slow fire
My own bodyguard
I grew inside
I heal from dust to light
My hands were tied
But now I hold the crown
No need to hide
No map, no sign
I broke the shell and cried
Head held high
Maybe I lied
When I said I'm fine
Can't pick a side
Still I burn, (still) I try
I'm all eyes
But I'm scared inside
Do they let us shine?
Maybe I lied
When I said I'm fine
Can't pick a side
Still I burn, I try
I'm all eyes
But I can't decide
If I deserve to shine
