No, your lies
Don't cut me no more

They don't sting me
Like they used to

I have become a shell
A ghost of the person I use to be

No more pains
No hurt stories

No stings
No bites
None of that

I'm my own person
I'm my own antidote
I'm my own cure

No, of course I don't need you
No more doses of those lies you spit

I used to be a prisoner of your war
I was once an oblivious little girl
But not anymore

My scars
My cuts

My lips which had bled from your experiments
My heart which had wrinkled from fake treatments
I'm taking no more

I'm coming free
I'm making my way through

Freedom from your stings
I'm biting down hard on my fears

I'm taking my fears prisoner
Far far away
To an ancient world
Where no hurt is known
Or pain is felt

I'm coming new
From your stings.
