[Verse 1]
[CLEAN]
Mama lived in a glass house, tiptoe floors, paper walls,
Every crack she tried to hide came crashing when I got tall.
She wore her storms like trophies, I learned silence like a skill,
Held the pieces in my bare hands, tried to love her better still.
(Optional light grit on last word “still”)
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
[CLEAN → GRIT BUILD]
I’m older now, yeah I finally see—
You can’t save someone drowning—
[BACKING SCREAM – CUT IN]
—by sinking in their sea!
(Hard stop → drum fill)
⸻
[Chorus]
[CLEAN LEAD]
So I’m walking away with my heart in my hand,
Learning I don’t need your fire just to feel like a man.
[BACKING SCREAM – RHYTHMIC]
(Your fire!)
(Feel like a man!)
[CLEAN LEAD]
You can keep the blame, the tears, the pain,
I’m done wearing guilt like it’s part of my name.
[BACKING SCREAM – STACKED]
(Blame!) (Tears!) (Pain!)
[CLEAN → BELT]
I tried to fix what I never broke,
Bled for love that stayed stone cold.
[GANG – CHANT]
GLASS! HOUSE! HEART!
[CLEAN HOLD]
This is me—breaking free—
[CLEAN + BACKING SCREAM UNISON]
From your glass house heart!
⸻
[Verse 2]
[CLEAN]
You dressed your wounds in pretty words, called control “being close,”
Every time I spoke my truth, you turned it into ghosts.
[SCREAM – SHORT BURST]
GHOSTS!
[CLEAN]
I learned love shouldn’t feel like war, or walking on a wire,
When every step I took for you just fed another fire.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
[CLEAN → STRAINED]
I bent until I snapped in two,
[SCREAM – FULL LINE]
TRYING TO BE ENOUGH FOR SOMEONE WHO NEVER MOVED!
(Drop into chorus)
⸻
[Chorus]
(Same as first chorus — add more stacked backing screams for size)
⸻
[Bridge – Half-Time]
[CLEAN – LOW, HEAVY]
I learned strength from the damage done,
Built my spine where yours came undone.
[SCREAM – CALL]
NOT YOUR MIRROR!
NOT YOUR SHIELD!
[CLEAN]
Not the wound you refuse to heal.
⸻
[Shout Section]
[GANG SHOUTS – ALL CAPS ENERGY]
NOT YOUR BLAME!
NOT YOUR SIN!
NOT THE WEIGHT YOU BURIED ME IN!
(Cymbal choke → breakdown)
⸻
[Breakdown – Easycore Chant]
[SCREAM – LEAD]
LET—ME—GO!
[GANG RESPONSE]
LET ME GO!
[SCREAM – LEAD]
I’M—NOT—HOME!
[GANG RESPONSE]
NOT YOUR HOME!
(Half-time bounce continues)
⸻
[Final Chorus – Anthem Chaos]
[CLEAN LEAD – BIGGEST]
I’m walking away with my heart in my hand,
No more burning myself just to help you understand.
[BACKING SCREAM – RHYTHM LAYER]
(No more!)
(Understand!)
[CLEAN]
Take your stories, your storms, your pain,
I’m rebuilding something better from the wreck you named.
[SCREAM – EMPHASIS LINE]
I WON’T BLEED FOR WHAT YOU LOST!
[CLEAN → BELT]
This is me—breaking free—
[GANG + SCREAM UNISON – FINAL HIT]
FROM YOUR GLASS HOUSE HEART!
