Queen of the Exit

I walk through the ashes with my head held high

Every broken promise falling out of my sky

They said I'd be quieter, they said I'd be small

But I learned how to stand when the shadows call

I held my own heart and upon my hands

I'm a fire in the hurt from the strength to land in every scar

They came alight in the light

Now I'm stepping forward

Ready for the night

I choose me

I choose me

Out of the blue and

I′m finally free

I wear the crown of my own comeback now

No more kneeling, no more breaking down

I choose me

I choose me

Louder than fear and stronger than the sea

What they try to bury is blooming and giving

I'm the scurry I was brave enough to hold, oh

I gave away pieces

'Til there was nothing left

You're my hang back up

With the rest I had left

There'll be no bad ghosts

Was a guide to the door

That led me to a life I could not ignore, yeah

Now the light hits different when I walk in truth

Every step I take is a verse of proof

No chain can hold what I've learned to be

I am the woman I was waiting to see

I choose me

I choose me, I choose me out of the blue and two

I'm finally free

I wear the crown of my own comeback now

No more kneeling, no more breaking down

I choose me, I choose me

Louder than fear and stronger than the sea

What they try to bury is bloomin' in gold

On the story, I was brave enough to hold

Let the room shake, let the heavens hear

I'm not who I was when I lived in fear

Hands in the air, I'm comin' alive

From the wreckage of tomorrow, I survive

I choose me, I choose me

Out of the ruins, I finally

I wear the crown of my own comeback now

Every wound turned to a victory vow

I choose me, I choose me

Praising the seventh fire in my lungs

Where words torn apart is shining whole

I am the queen of my own reclaimed soul
