I was wondering when you would notice me when you would notice yourself they tell you to bow to break to soften into something they can hold without fear of being cut they tell you that surrender is survival that silence is wisdom that Stillness is safety but I've walked the paths of the silenced traced my fingers over the remnants of the obedient and you know what I found nothing not peace not Freedom not even memory only empty spaces where something great could have been and you yes you stand at the edge of that same Abyss trembling
breath caught between choice and Consequence the world has sharpened its teeth against you the storm has learned your name and you wonder is it worth it I will not give you comfort for comfort is the LIE they sell to keep you still but I will give you truth you are not made to kneel you are not made to dissolve into something palatable there is iron in you though they have spent years convincing you it is rust there is fire in you though they have called it ruin You Are Meant To Burn not to be extinguished
they will call call you Reckless dangerous defiant and they will not be wrong but tell me little spark has anything great ever risen from obedience has anything powerful ever been born from permission no so when they come for you with their soft words and sharp knives when they demand your silence your compliance Your Surrender smile and then show them what happens when a spark refuses to go out [Music]
