[Verse 1]
Used to bite my tongue till it ached
Shrinking in the corners of the room
Every little comment kept me caged
Let the shallow words decide my moves
Now I see their eyes don’t go that deep
They only skim the colors on my skin
They don’t get the storm I had to meet
To grow this quiet fire from within
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you’re asking
Why I’m acting
Like I don’t hear the noise you make
It’s my armor
Built it sharper
Every time you called me fake
[Chorus]
Ignorance as innocence
That’s my halo
That’s my fence
You can talk
I’ll play pretend
’Cause I’m never going back again
NevagainA
Watch me rise
Turn your echo into quiet skies
Keep my truth where you can’t bend
I’m never
Never going back again
[Verse 2]
I will let you think that I’m small
Let you underestimate the climb
Smile and let your gossip hit the wall
While I’m out here skipping every line
You don’t see the notes in my phone
Pages full of plans you’ll never read
Call it “lucky” when I claim my throne
I’ll just call it watered
Grown from seed
[Pre-Chorus]
So if you’re shouting
If you’re doubting
I might nod like I agree
But that silence
Hides defiance
You can’t steal what you can’t see
[Chorus]
Ignorance as innocence
That’s my halo
That’s my fence
You can talk
I’ll play pretend
’Cause I’m never going back again
NevagainA
Watch me rise
Turn your echo into quiet skies
Keep my truth where you can’t bend
I’m never
Never going back again
[Bridge]
You see a dead end
I see a doorway
You say “stay still”
I’m on the runway
Every “you can’t”
Becomes a runway light (oh)
Guide me through the night
[Chorus]
Ignorance as innocence
That’s my halo
That’s my fence
You can talk
I’ll play pretend
’Cause I’m never going back again
NevagainA
That’s my name
Wrote it in the ashes of my shame
Keep my truth
My only friend
I’m never
Never going back again (nevagainA)
