Taking My Voice Back

[Verse 1]
You said
"Turn it down"
Till I turned to stone
Smoothed out my edges
Just to feel less alone
I erased my colors
To match your gray
Bit my own tongue
Till it bled your way
[Pre-Chorus]
You dressed it up
Called it devotion
But you were draining
All my emotion
You loved me quiet
You loved me small
I hear my heartbeat
Pounding through the wall (hey!)
[Chorus]
I won’t lobotomize my feelings for your love
Cut them out and call it healing
Like that’s enough
You can keep your kingdom
Built on silence and control
I’m taking my voice back
I’m taking my voice back
I’m taking my voice back
And I won’t let go
[Verse 2]
You turned my fire
Into careful light
Trained every instinct
To apologize
Signed my name in
Your invisible ink
Till I forgot
How my own name should ring
[Pre-Chorus]
You called it fate
You called it shelter
But I was choking
Under your weather
You loved me easy
You loved me weak
Now every scar
Learned how to speak (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
I won’t lobotomize my feelings for your love
Cut them out and call it healing
Like that’s enough
You can keep your kingdom
Built on silence and control
I’m taking my voice back
I’m taking my voice back
I’m taking my voice back
And I won’t let go
[Bridge]
Turn up the shame
Till the speakers crack
All of your blame
I’m returning it back
You had your hands
Inside my head
This is the last time
You play god with my regret
[Chorus]
I won’t lobotomize my feelings for your love
Tear them down and dress the ruin
Up as trust
You can keep your kingdom
Built on silence and control
I’m taking my voice back
I’m taking my voice back
I’m taking my voice back
I already know
[Outro]
I already know
I already know
I’m taking my voice back
And I won’t let go

rock, High-energy alt-rock with crunchy guitars, driving live drums, and female vocals pushing from a simmering verse into a shout-along chorus. First verse rides palm-muted tension; chorus explodes with wide power chords and stacked gang vocals on the hook. Brief middle-8 strips to bass and vocal, then slams back with a final, defiant refrain.
