[Intro]
You walk in wearing thunder
Like the room belongs to you
But every step you take gets smaller
When the glass starts showing truth
[Verse 1]
Why you staring like a verdict?
Like you came to shut me down?
You rehearse that little smirk
But it falls apart out loud
I know the script, I know the posture
I know the lie behind your teeth
You want a fight without the cost, yeah?
Then bring your courage when you speak
[Pre-Chorus]
Drop the act
Drop the chin
You’re not the judge
You’re just walking in
[Chorus]
Don’t look at me with that face
Don’t aim that poison my way
If you’ve got something to say
Then say it—don’t hide in the shape
Don’t look at me with that face
You don’t get power from disdain
I won’t shrink for your display
Take your judgment and walk away
[Verse 2]
You turn silence into armor
Then call everyone afraid
But I can hear your hands shaking
Every time my name gets raised
Keep your polished little warning
Keep the sermon and the pose
You mistake a quiet person
For somebody you can own
[Pre-Chorus]
Drop the act
Drop the chin
You’re not the judge
You’re just walking in
[Chorus]
Don’t look at me with that face
Don’t aim that poison my way
If you’ve got something to say
Then say it—don’t hide in the shape
Don’t look at me with that face
You don’t get power from disdain
I won’t shrink for your display
Take your judgment and walk away
[Bridge]
I’ve swallowed every sideways glance
Every cheap remark dressed up as chance
Now the door is open, choose your lane
Step through honest or leave the same
[Breakdown]
No more theater
No more throne
No more speaking
Through your tone
Say it clear
Say my name
Or get out
The way you came
[Final Chorus]
Don’t look at me with that face
Don’t aim that poison my way
If you’ve got something to say
Then say it—don’t hide in the shape
Don’t look at me with that face
You don’t get power from disdain
I won’t bend for your display
Take your judgment and walk away
[Outro]
Keep the face
Keep the pose
I know exactly
How this goes
