Whispers in the Alley

[Verse]
Shadows creep where the cold wind bends
Words like daggers
They never end
A whisper cuts
It burns
It stings

[Prechorus]
What’s a name but a mask we wear
What’s a game when nobody cares

[Chorus]
Call me anything
I’ll still rise
Throw your stones
I’ll touch the skies
Words can’t chain what’s born to fly
Say my name
I won’t cry

[Verse 2]
The night is heavy
It hums and moans
Every echo
It chills my bones
But I’m unbroken
I’ll take the throne

[Bridge]
Sticks and stones
They break like lies
But words
Oh words
They’re thin disguise
Your venom’s weak
I’ve seen the skies

[Chorus]
Call me anything
I’ll still rise
Throw your stones
I’ll touch the skies
Words can’t chain what’s born to fly
Say my name
I won’t cry
