[Intro]
In Rangoon's sleep, the streets hum low and gray
The walls keep time with my breath, they never drift away
[Verse 1]
Seven winters counted behind a glassy pane
Names carved in echoes, my truth says your name again
Chains on the mind, I pace in dim-lit light
The flame in my chest keeps stubborn, burning night after night
[Pre-Chorus]
Doors whisper secrets that I almost forget to fear
But I rise, I hear a voice that tells me I am here
[Chorus]
I am not your captive, not your shadow in the dark
The flame in my chest is a stubborn spark
I walk the margins of dawn and dread, side by side
Inside the bars of memory, I break with every stride
[Verse 2]
Dissociation threads through verses of a broken day
Night cycles to day, yet the ghost inside will stay
I hear the voices naming me, calling out my name
Yet I answer with courage, refusing to be tamed
[Pre-Chorus]
The walls remember me, but I remember who I am
I drum my heartbeat steady, a stubborn clanging psalm
[Chorus]
I am not your captive, not your shadow in the dark
The flame in my chest is a stubborn spark
I walk the margins of dawn and dread, side by side
Inside the bars of memory, I break with every stride
[Bridge]
Through Burmese rain on window panes, I tell my fears to fall
The night repeats its cycle, but I rise above it all
[Chorus]
I am not your captive, not your shadow in the dark
The flame in my chest is a stubborn spark
I walk the margins of dawn and dread, side by side
Inside the bars of memory, I break with every stride
[Outro]
Seven years counted, and I still call my name aloud
The doors recede as I breathe, I am unbound by the crowd
