Between the Scenes

[Flamebird]

I'm tired of running away
I'm tired of being the victim
I'm tired of taking the blame
I'm tired of drinking my own venom

I was naive, younger, sheltered
I was your fool, I didn't know any better
So yeah, you hurt me, you flooded me with doubt
So yeah, you hurt me, traumatized me
Ouch.

But now, I'm older, wiser, better
But now, I'm stronger, lost no longer
Yeah, you hurt me, but I've spent all my tears
Yeah, you hurt me, but I'm finally fighting my fears

I have a purpose now, you see
I made my purchase, it's for keeps
So when you toy with my new family
I'll strike you down so fast, so don't blink

You messed up when you messed with the ones I love
You can fight me, but fight them and I've had enough
Now, I'll pull off my fancy silk glove
And I know a thing or two about playing rough

Oof!

Gonna go boom!
You're gonna challenge me? That's cute
Aw, look what you made me do
I'm your worst night terror, nightmare fuel

My past has its oppressors and villains
The bullies, scum, heartless pillagers
I don't mean to dehumanise, but I've had my fill of em
I'm rising from the ashes for a crown, it's not the end

Cause when you strike me I get stronger
I spit in the face of death, don't falter
Against someone like you, I'm willing to be a monster
Think I'll surrender? You're dead wrong, sir

I see all my enemies in you
You make me sick, I need a moment to puke
You spawn of evil, vile and cruel
I know now what I have to do

I'm sorry, that weakling isn't here right now
It's just me

You're atrocious, but I'm ferocious
I won't lose focus, my power's prominent
You've lost my tolerance, prepare for my dominance
You need to be cautious, cause I'm finally confident

You won't get the best of me
After all this time I'm finally free
Aw, what's the matter? You look scared, buddy
No holding back, you'll pay for your deeds due fully

I'm no longer afraid of who I am
I'm in charge now, I have a plan
