Not the Same - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I used to move through shadows, hush in every breath

Counting every heartbeat like a step toward death

Thorns around my ankles, silence held me down

The world was just a whisper in a ghost town

Built my walls from caution, brick by fearful brick

Tried to fly on broken wings, always losing grip

But every sleepless night was a lesson I survived

And now I've found the flame I kept alive

I'm out of the woods, I'm finally breathing

Ran from the cage that kept me grieving

Ashes in my trail, I won't turn around

The past can scream, but it won't drown mе out

I'm wild again, and I won't be tamed

Out of the woods, and I'm not thе same

The wind hits different when you're running on your own

Not chasing, not escaping, just calling it home

Sunrise feels like fire melting off the frost

And every scar I carry proves I'm not lost

I'm out of the woods, I'm finally breathing

Ran from the cage that kept me grieving

Ashes in my trail, I won't turn around

The past can scream, but it won't drown me out

I'm wild again, and I won't be tamed

Out of the woods, and I'm not the same

Let the thunder roll and the rivers rise

I'm not afraid of storms, I've walked through fire

What once was weight, now wings unfurled

I shook the chains, now I shake the world

No map in hand, just a soul reborn

Out here in the open, where truth is sworn

And if the darkness calls me, I won't respond

I've buried that voice with who I was

I'm out of the woods, I'm finally breathing

Wrote my escape with every beating

Ashes in my trail, I won't turn around

The past can scream, but it won't drown me out

I'm wild again, and I won't be tamed

Out of the woods, and I'm not the same
