Aftershock [1]

[Verse 1] Through the walls of my room at night Ancient melodies take flight Grandmother's whispers in my veins Breaking free from golden chains Every note's a fault line deep Tearing through the lies I keep [Pre-Chorus] They say "be quiet, be still, be tame" But my heart beats wild, untamed Breaking every rule they made Watch their perfect world fade [Chorus] I'm not your perfect little girl I'm a storm about to unfurl Dancing on the edge of night Making chaos feel so right This is how I survive This is how I'm alive [Verse 2] Nineteen candles on the cake That's all it took for me to break Found salvation in the sound Of speakers shaking underground Sorry mama, sorry dad Best thing you never knew you had [Bridge] Between your truth and mine There's an ocean deep and wide Your traditions hold me down But my music makes me crowned Yeah, I chose to walk away From the path you paved each day [Chorus] I'm not your perfect little girl I'm a storm about to unfurl Dancing on the edge of night Making chaos feel so right This is how I survive This is how I'm alive [Verse 3] In this city made of dreams Nothing's ever what it seems But when I close my eyes to play All the demons fade away Every beat becomes my home In this world I walk alone [Outro] Let the bass drop like thunder Tear these chains right asunder Watch me rise from the ashes Of your broken expectations This rebellion in my soul Is the only way I'm whole This is my salvation song This is where I belong
