Why
Why

I didn’t rise from comfort I'm born from fire
Built to hold the line to let you climb higher
But you cage the ones who bleed. to keep you safe
And let the parasites take our place
You tell me “wait!” like I’m a loaded gun
But I’m the shield you’ll need when the damage comes
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, you're blind to your fate
And I’m locked out like a threat you can’t face
While the real danger walks right through our gate

Unleash me
I’m begging you, 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 body's hurtin'
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’d rather crown the liars and think you're safe
You clip my voice, then ask why I don’t speak
You want protection but only if it’s weak
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 its correctness dressed in weakness
A kingdom run by those 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
I’m begging you let me fill the role I was born to hold
You let the dogs run wild while you silence me
Then wonder why the world keeps burning
I could break this cycle if you’d just believe

I have a burning fire in my chest
My compass that will not reset
Top hold the line so you break through
I see the ones who twist the truth
Who take and take and call it proof
You shoot me down then ask why I don’t fly
Tell me when did right become a crime
Will you let me lose, if only just in time

Unleash me
I’m done begging for a role I was born to lead
You let the dogs run wild while you silence me
Then wonder why the world keeps burning
I could break this cycle if you’d just believe
Believe in me and
Unleash me
Let me be!
Be me

I’m not the threat
I’m the reckoning that 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

Why won’t you let me stand where I belong
I’m built to guard to guide to keep us strong
I’m not fighting for a crown
Just against those that bring us down
I could lift you higher if you’d just take my hand
Why won’t you just

Unleash me
I’m done watching you fall for the enemy
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
In me

Unleash me
