Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Mama tied my scarf that day

Said, "Come back home for soup"

But hands like iron took me

And the door shut with the roof

Papa ran into the road

Screaming my old name

I learned how fear can freeze a room

And leave a child the same

[Pre-Chorus]

They said, "Be quiet, be sweet"

"Be small, be good, be numb"

I kept my tears in a jar

Till the jar became a drum

[Chorus]

I was taken away

But I didn't stay gone

I turned my hurt to a blade

And I wore it all wrong

Now I walk in their smoke

Now I smile like a storm

I was taken away

And I came back born

[Verse 2]

They taught me how to bow my head

How to call them king

How to thank the hand that locked my wrists

And kiss the chain it brings

But I watched their faces split

When the truth slipped through

A girl they built from broken parts

Can break your tower too

[Pre-Chorus]

They said, "Be quiet, be sweet"

"Be small, be good, be numb"

I kept my tears in a jar

Till the jar became a drum

[Chorus]

I was taken away

But I didn't stay gone

I turned my hurt to a blade

And I wore it all wrong

Now I walk in their smoke

Now I smile like a storm

I was taken away

And I came back born

[Bridge]

Mama, don't you cry for me

I am not their prize

I found my name in the dark

Where the frightened girl died

If they made me into this

Then let them watch me bloom

In the house that stole my breath

I'll be the final room

[Final Chorus]

I was taken away

But I didn't stay gone

I turned my hurt to a blade

And I wore it all wrong

Now I walk in their smoke

Now I smile like a storm

I was taken away

And I came back born
