[Verse 1]
Rust on the swings
Blood in the sink
You said I was nothing
Branded that into my skin
Door frames shook
When your footsteps hit
Every slap
Every secret
Filed away like a blade within
[Chorus]
You were my resident evil
Living in the walls of my head
But I crawled out through the needle
Stitched my scars with the words you said
I was “nothing
” now I’m breathing
On the ash of what you built
I walked out of that nightmare
Left you drowning in your guilt
[Verse 2]
Hands that should hold
Turned to iron and rope
Every joke was a weapon
Every promise
A choke
You tried to own my silence
Taught me terror as love
But your kingdom of violence
Crumbled when I’d had enough
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You said I’d break
Just a crack in the floor
But cracks grow teeth
They become new doors
[scream]
I am not your shame
I am not your prey
Every bruise
Every name
Is a step the hell away
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
