[Intro]
No crown.
No cage.
Just weight.
Just truth.

[Verse 1]
Seven winters in this skin,
Hammer marks are written in.
Water darkened every seam,
Woke to find my own heartbeat.

[Chorus]
MurderBird, I won't be owned.
No crown. No cage.
Hear the iron verdict fall.
I choose my way.
Hammer scars and heavy wings.
I hold my ground.
MurderBird, remember me.
I won't bow down.

[Verse 2]
Iron braced the broken frame,
Brass and borrowed power came.
Now the choice belongs to me,
Heavy feet can still be free.

[Bridge]
Some scars stay.
Let them show.
I've learned the weight
Of letting go.
Before the order leaves your mouth,
I've seen the fault and turned around.

[Chorus]
MurderBird, I won't be owned.
No crown. No cage.
Hear the iron verdict fall.
I choose my way.
Hammer scars and heavy wings.
I hold my ground.
MurderBird, remember me.
I won't bow down.

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
MurderBird, I won't be owned.
No crown. No cage.
Hear the iron verdict fall.
I choose my way.
Hammer scars and heavy wings.
I hold my ground.
MurderBird, remember me.
I won't bow down.

[Outro]
I am more than my repairs.
Every scar is mine to claim.
No one else can set my aim.
I will not bow down.
