Supernova

One summer evening, August 31st
Your anger swelled like a cloudburst
You hit me hard, this time the worst
I let out a hum and became the universe

You, I've had it, I'd misbehaved
You made your move, destruction you craved
Thought you'd send me to my grave
But I became an interstellar shock wave

Cages can't contain me
Blows no longer maim me
Words cannot constrain me
I'm a supernova, supernova
I'm a supernova, supernova

Years ago, I'd tried to resist
But my weapon didn't exist
My power needed a paradigm shift
I begged for mercy from the abyss

She said, daughter, it's ok to glow
Your fire's just a dormant volcano
Closed my eyes and just let go
Became a star from the shadow

Cages can't contain me
Blows no longer maim me
Words cannot constrain me
I'm a supernova, supernova
I'm a supernova, supernova

Thought I was small
Just your paper doll
Tried to hide me, trick me
Smother me, cover me
It was your downfall
It was your downfall

Cages can't contain me
Blows no longer maim me
Words cannot constrain me
I'm a supernova, supernova
I'm a supernova, supernova
