Steelbound

(Unfold it, behold it, break the mold) here we go!
(Yeah!)
Whoa-oh, yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Pandora was seeking the truth untold
Red Hood chose her a path, so the story goes
But they got blamed for being bold (oh, that's not right)
Always too much and never enough
Too quiet, too loud, too soft, or too tough
They tell the rules for being me

Too weak, too strong, and probably wrong
Like fading light on the edge of night
When shadows grow, and hellhounds howl, so loud (so loud)

I'm steel bound
Born of fire, lighting up the dawn
The way I shine is mine to decide
I'm blazing through the skies
I'm steel bound (yeah, yeah, yeah)
My voice will resound (I'm steel bound)
It's my middle name, forged in flames
No one can tame my soul

We are the spirit they couldn't burn
Through the layers of time, we've had to learn
To rise above and fight for harmony (harmony)
Stone by stone, we built the sky
Together we're strong in thunder's cry
The choir of whispers (whispers) grows into a symphony, yeah

We are the voice that shatters the silence
We are the light that bends the night
Side by side, through the chaos we'll shine, so bright

I'm steel bound
Born of fire, lighting up the dawn
The way I shine is mine to decide
I'm blazing through the skies
I'm steel bound (yeah, yeah, yeah)
My voice will resound (I'm steel bound), yeah
It's my middle name, forged in flames
No one can tame my soul

(Laugh at my joke and give me a smile)
I'm not here for your ego or to please your eye!
(Don't even try, you won't make it right)
It's my nine-to-five, don't act so surprised!
(That book is too complicated, you wouldn't get it)
Are you sure? 'Cause I'm the one who wrote it!
I'm sick of your poison, and I'm sick of shrinking myself!

It must hurt to know you didn't earn that fame
When you steal our work and erase our names
How can you even think it's your privilege?
In what universe does that make any sense?

(Steel bound) yeah (ooh)
(Lighting up the dark) lighting up the dark
(Unfold it, behold it, break the mold) go!

I'm steel bound
Born of fire, lighting up the dawn
The way I shine is mine to decide
I'm blazing through the skies
I'm steel bound (yeah, yeah, yeah)
My voice will resound (I'm steel bound)
It's my middle name, forged in flames
No one can tame my soul

(I'm steel bound)
