Everglades - I AM FREE

I gave you too much. My trust. My time. My peace. Not anymore. I AM FREE. [Verse 1] I wore your chains like they were mine, lost myself one piece at a time. Every promise pulled me down, every lie kept me around. I kept waiting for a change, kept believing through the pain. But the night finally showed me clear, there’s nothing left to keep me here. [Pre-Chorus] So I opened that door, left the past on the floor. No more fear. No more please. For the first time... I can breathe. [Chorus] I AM FREE! No more chains around my soul. I AM FREE! You don’t have control. Let the old bridge burn, let the black smoke rise. I got fire in my heart and the road in my eyes. I AM FREE! And I’m never going back. You can keep the broken pieces. I DON’T NEED A DAMN THING BACK! [Verse 2] There’s an empty road ahead, no more voices in my head. Every mile beneath these wheels reminds me what freedom feels. I don’t hate you anymore, hate would keep me at your door. You can live with what you chose. I got somewhere else I need to go. [Pre-Chorus] No more waiting. No regret. You’re a memory I can forget. No more fear. No more please. Feel that wind? That’s me... BREATHING FREE. [Chorus] I AM FREE! No more chains around my soul. I AM FREE! You don’t have control. Let the old bridge burn, let the black smoke rise. I got fire in my heart and the road in my eyes. I AM FREE! And I’m never going back. You can keep the broken pieces. I DON’T NEED A DAMN THING BACK! NO CHAINS! NO FEAR! NO REASON TO KEEP YOU HERE! NO LIES! NO PAIN! YOU WILL NEVER OWN ME AGAIN! MY LIFE! MY ROAD! MY FUTURE! MY SOUL! I TOOK IT BACK! EVERYTHING YOU THOUGHT YOU STOLE! I used to think losing you would break me. Now I know staying would have killed me. So here I stand, with nothing left to prove. You were never my whole world. You were only something I had to lose. [Build] One more mile. One more breath. One more piece of me comes back. I’M ALIVE! [Final Chorus] I AM FREE! No more chains around my soul! I AM FREE! I FINALLY TOOK CONTROL! Let the old bridge burn! Let the black smoke rise! There’s a whole damn world waiting on the other side! I AM FREE! AND I’M NEVER GOING BACK! You can keep the broken pieces! I FOUND EVERYTHING I THOUGHT I LACKED! [Final Breakdown] MY ROAD! MY LIFE! MY CHOICE! MY TIME! NO ONE GETS TO TAKE IT THIS TIME! I LOST YOU... AND FOUND ME. [Final heavy hit] I. AM. FREE. Nothing behind me. Open road ahead. For the first time... I’m finally free.
