Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You screamed into a sky of static
Hoping someone, somewhere heard
But all you got was empty traffic
And the echo of your own words
They sold you maps with no directions
Fed you fear like it was bread
Told you quiet was perfection
While chaos grew inside your head
[Pre-Chorus]
What if your dreams weren’t too loud
What if you’re not lost in the crowd
[Chorus]
You’re lightning trapped inside a jar
You’ve walked through fire to get this far
They'll shame your soul for every scar
Don’t let them swallow who you are
[Verse 2]
They dress the lies in silk and rhythm
And call it growing up too fast
But you still dance with what was hidden
The wild parts they said won’t last
Don’t let this world swallow you whole
Don’t let them carve out your control
You weren’t born to fit their mold
Your soul’s a truth they can't withhold
[Pre-Chorus]
What if you're more than how you cope
What if you still carry hope
[Chorus]
You’re lightning trapped inside a jar
You’ve walked through fire to get this far
They'll shame your soul for every scar
Don’t let them swallow who you are
[Verse]
They’ll never cage the winds you ride—
You were never meant to hide
You’re not meant to sit and wait—
You’re the fire that bends fate
Breathe, and let your name be known
No seed survives without being sown
Stand tall in all you’ve come through
You’re the proof their lies aren’t true
[Pre-Chorus]
What if you’re meant to scream and fight
What if you're not made for polite
[Chorus]
You’re lightning trapped inside a jar
You’ve walked through fire to get this far
They'll shame your soul for every scar
Don’t let them swallow who you are
[Verse]
Stop hiding from the light
You’ve earned your place inside the fight
They tried to shrink what couldn’t bend—
But you begin where they pretend
So shout until the sky replies
Your words tear through all their lies
You are echo, flame, and cry—
The storm that learned how to fly
[Pre-Chorus]
What if the silence isn’t peace
What if the stillness hides disease
[Chorus]
You’re lightning trapped inside a jar
You’ve walked through fire to get this far
They'll shame your soul for every scar
Don’t let them swallow who you are
[Verse]
Don’t let numbness be your shield
Your open heart's your truest field
Let it beat, let it roar—
You were made for something more
Shine like stars that won’t conform
You’re the calm inside the storm
And howl until the heavens shake
Your voice was born to break the fake
[Pre-Chorus]
What if you’re whole, even in pain
What if your loss becomes your gain
[Chorus]
You’re lightning trapped inside a jar
You’ve walked through fire to get this far
They'll shame your soul for every scar
Don’t let them swallow who you are
[Verse]
Don’t let this world pull you down
You weren’t born to be a clown
Let them drown in what they fear—
You are thunder, crystal clear
You’re not meant to sit and wait—
You’re the fire that bends fate
This world can’t hold your soul in place—
You’re a force it can't erase
[Pre-Chorus]
What if your no was your first yes
What if your mess is just progress
[Chorus]
You’re lightning trapped inside a jar
You’ve walked through fire to get this far
They'll shame your soul for every scar
Don’t let them swallow who you are
[Outro]
Sink or swim, that’s what they say
But you found wings along the way
They can drown the noise and take the crown—
But they won’t take you down
