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 universeYou, 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 waveCages can't contain me
Blows no longer maim me
Words cannot constrain me
I'm a supernova, supernova
I'm a supernova, supernovaYears ago, I'd tried to resist
But my weapon didn't exist
My power needed a paradigm shift I begged for mercy from the abyssShe 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 shadowCages can't contain me
Blows no longer maim me
Words cannot constrain me
I'm a supernova, supernova
I'm a supernova, supernovaThought I was small
Just your paper doll
Tried to hide me, trick me
Smother me, cover me
It was your downfall
It was your downfallCages can't contain me
Blows no longer maim me
Words cannot constrain me
I'm a supernova, supernova
I'm a supernova, supernova
