Song Description

The song is a fierce anthem about reclaiming one's identity and power after surviving a toxic, abusive relationship. It describes the process of violently purging the abuser's influence and transforming deep-seated trauma and scars into symbols of strength and resilience.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your name still burns
like a brand on cracked skin
Ghost caught in my sternum
when I dare to breathe in
You twisted my softness
into your weapon of choice
Took every apology
and swallowed my voice
[Pre-Chorus]
I traced the pattern
in the cuts beneath my sleeve
I know the ashes --
I'm the one who learned to grieve

[Chorus]
I'll carve you from my marrow
Tear you out like broken glass (hey!)
You don't own what bleeds in me
I'm shattering the cage you cast
I'll wear my wounds like war paint, love
You'll never hear me on my knees
I'll carve you from my marrow
Watch me rise from everything

[Verse 2]
You named me fragile
every time I tried to run
Called it worship
when I came apart undone
But I was never clay --
I was iron learning fire
I'm not wrecking just your plans, now
I'm dismantling your empire
[Pre-Chorus]
You built your altar
out of "baby, I need you here"
I found my fury
right inside the thing you feared

[Chorus]
I'll carve you from my marrow
Tear you out like broken glass (oh yeah)
You don't own what bleeds in me
I'm shattering the cage you cast
I'll wear my wounds like war paint, love
You'll never hear me on my knees
I'll carve you from my marrow
Watch me rise from everything

[Bridge]
[Drop -- choked guitars bleed through silence]
[Snare hits like a pulse returning]
I am not the version of myself you buried
I am not the name you put in chains
Every scar you left is a map back to my body
Every wound you gave me
taught me how to reign
[Full band erupts -- double kick, wall of guitars]
[Vocal shift: spoken low, then SCREAMED on caps]
I bled for you --
I burned for you --
I DON'T BELONG TO YOU

[Final Chorus -- key change, full force]
I'll carve you from my marrow
Rip the ghost out, watch it pass (HEY!)
You will never own my blood
I'm the one who breaks the glass
I wear my wounds like iron, love
The queen you tried to break and tame --
I carved you from my marrow
And I'll never bleed the same
