Unshackled Vow

[Intro] In the mirror, I’m asking who I am today Shadows lean in close, they whisper, “stay the same” But I’ve tasted a dare I won’t deny A spark in the spine, a stubborn breaking flame [Verse 1] My heart files complaints with the rules I recycle I wink at the edge, where the ordinary bikes policy Every mile I’m torn—who to trust, what to vow? The truth I’m itching for wears a counterfeit shroud [Pre-Chorus] I’m not afraid to melt the plastic around me I’m learning the rhythm of the risk that I carry [Chorus] I wanna be honest, even when it hurts to tell the truth I’m choosing the fire that the skeptics call a fuse If love is scandal, I’ll wear the labels loud Bittersweet and free, I’m singing my unshackled vow [Verse 2] They call it forbidden, I call it a missing piece I weigh every whisper, then lean into my release Conflicted but daring, I bend without breaking skin Questing for authenticity, I let the real begin [Pre-Chorus] I’m not afraid to melt the plastic around me I’m learning the rhythm of the risk that I carry [Chorus] I wanna be honest, even when it hurts to tell the truth I’m choosing the fire that the skeptics call a fuse If love is scandal, I’ll wear the labels loud Bittersweet and free, I’m singing my unshackled vow [Bridge] Between right and restless, I find a stubborn grace A twinned glare of longing and a smile on my face [Chorus] I wanna be honest, even when it hurts to tell the truth I’m choosing the fire that the skeptics call a fuse If love is scandal, I’ll wear the labels loud Bittersweet and free, I’m singing my unshackled vow [Outro] Let the verdict fade, let the quiet fear dissolve I’m stepping into me, with wit as my resolve
