Out of the Dark (Cirque Version) - Vivian Song (Paper Mario)
About this track
[Verse 1] Youngest of three — yeah, I took that heat Hand-me-down blame, no clean retreat Oldest would cut me, say I was wrong I carried that weight for way too long Soft when I speak but I’m not that weak Kind in the calm but I’m fire when I peak I made my choice — no turn, no track Step through the smoke — I don’t look back [Pre-Chorus] They tried to shrink me down to size Cold little laughs and sharper lies But wait till I rise — just wait and see You haven’t seen what’s burning in me [Chorus] Out of the dark — froze that fear on ice No more, no more — I’m done with that price I strike with a spark and the damage won’t stop Tick-tick burn — feel that drop Flame on flame — better watch that game I don’t heal what I aim to tame You want me punished? Go on — make your move Step too close — feel what I prove [Verse 2] My identity flipped in a twisted exchange That “name got stolen” mess felt strange “Guess that happens?” — no, that’s wild That kind of chaos ain’t mild Chapter four — fifth in the line I stepped in place and I made it mine Used to fold when they pushed me small Now I answer pressure — I don’t crawl [Pre-Chorus] They stamped me “less,” tried to seal that claim Tried to wrap my truth in shame But rewrite that script — tear that frame I’m done playing small in their little game [Chorus] Out of the dark — froze that fear on ice No more, no more — I’m done with that price I strike with a spark and the damage won’t stop Tick-tick burn — feel that drop Flame on flame — better watch that game I don’t heal what I aim to tame You want me punished? Go on — make your move Step too close — feel what I prove [Bridge] They thought I’d hide what I am inside I carried it quiet — now open wide Call me wrong — go on, take aim I’m a woman in full — remember that name [Breakdown] Gee whiz — I hate that blame But I won’t bow to that same old game Heat in my hands — yeah, I'm elite Try me once — feel that heat [Final Chorus] Out of the dark — froze that fear on ice No more, no more — I’m done with that price I strike with a spark and the damage won’t stop Tick-tick burn — feel that drop Flame on flame — better watch that game I don’t heal what I aim to tame You want me punished? Go on — make your move Step too close — feel what I prove
