Burning Down the Old Name (version 2)

Verse 1

Burning down the old name on the fireline

Watching embers turn into a new design

Every scar is just a map that I own now

No more shadow, no more shadow to follow

Chains were heavy but they never held me back

I was just waiting for this moment to crack free at last

Turned every apology into gasoline

Now the fire's burning brighter than it used to be

Pre-Chorus

Something is breaking deep in my chest

Feel the old name burning out like mist

It's time to walk into what I've been blessed

Dancing on the ashes, no need for rest

Chorus

I'm burning down the old name and it feels so divine

Leaving every ghost where the embers align

This is my anthem rising from the flame

Burning down the old name into a brand new name

Verse 2

Every door that locked me in I turned to steel

Now the lock just rusts, it doesn't feel real

Learned how to laugh at every doubt I made

Taught myself how to love the shadow instead of shade

No more shadows left to hide behind now

This is my revolution, this is my own power now

Not a prayer, not a wish — just me turning slow

Into something brighter than the whole glow

Pre-Chorus

Something is breaking deep in my chest

Feel the old name burning out like mist

It's time to walk into what I've been blessed

Dancing on the ashes, no need for rest

Chorus

I'm burning down the old name and it feels so divine

Leaving every ghost where the embers align

This is my anthem rising from the flame

Burning down the old name into a brand new name

Bridge

Turn the silence into something loud now

Every doubt I ever had is just background sound now

I was always meant to be this — wild and free

No one else's shadow is living in me

Chorus

I'm burning down the old name and it feels so divine

Leaving every ghost where the embers align

This is my anthem rising from the flame

Burning down the old name into a brand new name
