Why why
Why do you fear the ones who’d bleed for you
And protect the ones who watch you bleed

hmm yeah

I didn’t rise from comfort I was forged in fire
Built to hold the line just to lift you higher
My chest still carries that burning wire
A compass screaming truth you keep denying
I’m the one who steps forward when the shadows swell
The one who stands firm when the heavens fell
But you cage the hands that guard your fate
And let the parasites flow through our gate

You tell me “wait” like I’m a weapon you fear
But I’m the shield you’ll need when the threat is near
You fear my strength, but worship their deceit
Tell me how the hell that became the creed

I watch you follow the ones who lie
Let them poison your mind while you close your eyes
And I’m locked out like a threat you can’t face
While the real danger runs riot through our place

Unleash me
Let me fill the role I was born to hold.
You let the dogs run wild while you tie me down
Then wonder why your world keeps hurting
I could break this cycle if you’d just let me
Unleash me

I’m not here for glory. I’m here for you
But you crown the liars and pretend you’re safe
You clip my voice, then ask why I don’t speak
You seek protection but the result is weak
You say you trust me but you flinch at my fire
You say you need me but you call me a danger
You’d rather kneel to the ones who drain you dry
Than stand beside the one who’d never lie
I see the cracks you pretend aren’t there
I see the rot you pretend is fair
And I’m furious watching you kneel to the worst
While the ones who’d guard you die of thirst
You call it order, but it’s weakness dressed as wisdom
A kingdom run by ghosts who prey on the unseen
And I’m left outside like a weapon you fear
When I’m the one who could end what you let steer.

Unleash me
Let me fill the role I was born to hold
You let the dogs run wild while you silence me
Then wonder why your world keeps burning. I could break this cycle if you’d just believe…
Believe in me

You sit on thrones you never earned
Blind to every bridge you’ve burned
You preach about “order” while the walls collapse
Then blame the ones who warned you of the cracks
You crowned the snakes, let them whisper lies
Now you’re shocked the kingdom’s crawling with flies.
You feared my strength because it made you small
So you built your empire on a rotten wall
You dress incompetence up as grace
But I see the panic behind your face
You lost the right to lead this fight the day you chose the parasites
I’m not the threat I’m the reckoning they’ll regret
I’m the voice you buried, the force you denied
The one who stands firm while the cowards hide
If you’d stop protecting the ones who deceive
You’d finally see who’s fighting to let you breathe.
I have a burning fire in my chest
A compass that will not reset
I hold the line so you can break through

But you won’t let me do what I’m built to do
I see the storms you pretend aren’t there
I feel the weight you pretend isn’t shared
You shoot me down, then ask why I don’t fly
Tell me when did right become a crime?

Unleash me.
I’m done begging for a role I was born to lead.
You let the cruel set your destiny
While I’m chained down, screaming to intervene
I could save you still, if you’d just believe
In me

I wasn’t shaped for silence I was carved for war
Forged in the kind of heat that makes weaker spirits fall to the floor
My pulse is a warning bell, my breath a battle cry
I’m the one who steps forward when everyone else asks why
I’m the spine in the storm, the fist in the dark
The one who keeps watch when the world falls apart
I don’t break, I don’t bend I don’t run from the flame
I run into it, because that’s where you need my name
I’m the shield that doesn’t sleep, the voice that doesn’t shake
The one who carries burdens others pretend they never make
I’m built for the weight, for the threat, for the fight
I’m the one who stands guard when you lose your sight
I stand for the ones who can’t lift their own fear
For the quiet souls who need someone fierce to draw near
I stand for truth, even when it cuts like steel
For the kind of justice cowards pretend they feel
I stand for the line that must never break
For the promises you make but the liars take
I stand for the future you keep gambling away
For the dawn you crave but won’t let me save
I don’t fight for crowns, or praise, or fame
I fight because protecting you is written in my flame
I fight because someone has to stand when the world tilts wrong
And I was born with a spine that refuses to stay calm
I stand for you
Even when you don’t stand for me.

Unleash me!
Let me be!
BE ME!
I’m the fire you fear
The truth6. A Different iew
