lyrics

I was born under the shadow of the Titan
my life mapped out before me, ahead of my first breath
to follow in the footsteps of my brethren
serving Emperors and hatching schemes, trawling hidden depths

Truly I'm a Teenage Abomination
neglected by the father, mother seeking to control
one true positive relationship of childhood
destroyed by social pressures, familial rankings to uphold

It pained me to become what was expected
high-achieving grudgby captain, top student of my class
i found solace in intensive competition
but appeared outwardly agressive, a mean-spirited ass!

your appearance shook me out of my alignment
an interloper from the human world, with glowing hazel eyes
didn't matter that you had no outward power
Jumped headlong into the Boiling Isles, not afraid to try

from inside the Owl House
you put basic order into doubt...

in whatever state we find ourselves
try to be yourself, you taught me that
we're all more than what we appear
go stuff it down the Choosy Hat!
no matter what dimension, mischief earns you a detention
one coven's not enough for you, you've gotta try 'em all.

You and your gang of outcasts made a difference
the cursed one, the monster, the friend that I had lost
even that thing that snakes out of the doorway
you all upset the order, I reconsidered my default

Most surprisingly you got through my defenses
finding common ground in stories, defending diaries
you opened up my secret room, rekindled old connections
by your very presence, i ground down anxieties

I felt drawn to you in ways I wasn't sure I understood
We saved the world on Grom night, earned the crowns
Together we cracked the long-standing rigid structures
both out there and in my heart, possibilities abound

Our education and adventures have uncovered
dark secrets that could threaten all the realms
we'll fight the shifting balance with our rag-tag party
our palismen together, we'll counter every spell!

Even without the Owl House
we'll bury any doubt...

in whichever realm we find ourselves
we'll stand together, be direct
we're all stronger than we appear
we're not here for brats to Collect
glyph or abomination, defending Hexside's population
one world's not enough for us, we've gotta save 'em all.
