Making My Path

Lyrics are mine, everything else is AI Generated. Whispers in the light, they say don't ever look down, They want me blinded, they want me unaware. Screams in the dark, they say don't ever look up, They want me lost, they don't want me to fly. They say don’t look down — you might see the ground, See the cracks in the crown when the walls fall down. They say don’t look up — you might touch the flame, Might remember that you were never meant to be tame. They want me blinded, they want me unaware, Lost in the noise of a manufactured prayer. But I won’t stay silent, I won’t play dead, I’ll look down, I’ll look up — hear every word they said. Whispers in the daylight crawl across my skin, Silver tongues dripping venom, calling it a sin. "Don’t you ever look down," they preach from golden thrones, Build their towers out of fear, brick by borrowed bones. They want my eyes wide shut, they want my head in chains, Marching to a rhythm of invisible reins. Paint the sky with warning signs, say the edge is near, But I can feel the tremor of the truth beneath the fear. They say don’t look down — you might see the ground, See the cracks in the crown when the walls fall down. They say don’t look up — you might touch the flame, Might remember that you were never meant to be tame. They want me blinded, they want me unaware, Lost in the noise of a manufactured prayer. But I won’t stay silent, I won’t play dead, I’ll look down, I’ll look up — hear every word they said. Screams in the midnight claw at my back, "Don’t you ever look up," they tighten the slack. They want me small, want my wings clipped clean, Another quiet ghost in their grinding machine. They feed me shadows, call it protection, Sell me doubt as divine direction. Keep me circling the drain of their doubt, But there’s a storm in my lungs that’s breaking out. They say don’t look down — you might see the ground, See the cracks in the crown when the walls fall down. They say don’t look up — you might touch the flame, Might remember that you were never meant to be tame. They want me blinded, they want me unaware, Lost in the noise of a manufactured prayer. But I won’t stay silent, I won’t play dead, I’ll look down, I’ll look up — hear every word they said. There's a voice from the throne, it echoes through the air, They preach compliance, like I should really care. They say follow the line, keep your eyes on the prize, But they don't see the truth, just the smoke in their lies. They say don’t look down — you might see the ground, See the cracks in the crown when the walls fall down. They say don’t look up — you might touch the flame, Might remember that you were never meant to be tame. They want me blinded, they want me unaware, Lost in the noise of a manufactured prayer. But I won’t stay silent, I won’t play dead, I’ll look down, I’ll look up — hear every word they said. From the shadows below, they scream fight the power, Igniting the flame, turning moments to hours. They dare to defy, with their hearts in the blaze, But whose side you’re on? Just a never-ending maze. They say don’t look down — you might see the ground, See the cracks in the crown when the walls fall down. They say don’t look up — you might touch the flame, Might remember that you were never meant to be tame. They want me lost, they don’t want me to fly, Buried alive under their lullaby. But I won’t stay silent, I won’t play dead, I’ll look down, I’ll look up — and rise instead. I'm staring down the barrel of their plastic dreams, Two sides, one battle, tearing at the seams. Those up above, they say swallow your pride, But I'm roaring like thunder, won't let it slide. So look down and feel the weight, look up and feel the burn, Take every lesson learned in the scars that you earn. I’m rising from the ashes like a storm uncontained, I’ll look down, I’ll look up — I’ll never be restrained. So look down and feel the weight, look up and feel the burn, Take every lesson learned in the scars that you earn. I’m rising from the ashes like a storm uncontained, I’ll look down, I’ll look up — I’ll never be restrained.
