[Verse 1]
You thought you’d got rid of me
Shoveled dirt on my name
So neat
Tagged the stone
Turned away from the heat
But I learned to breathe in the concrete
Uh
Bury my memory
Every bad scene
Scrubbed me out of your pretty little routine
But I clawed from that grave
Broken nails
Blood stains on the daydream
[Pre-Chorus]
You walk in the lie like a second skin
But I’m in the seams
Yeah
I’m in your grin
Every mirror
Every whisper on the street
Is my heartbeat
My heartbeat
[Chorus]
I will be heard
I will be heard (say my name)
Everyone will know who you are
What you are
What you are (yeah)
There is no escape
There is no escape from me
[Verse 2]
You stitched up your stories so tight
Painted yourself as the victim in white
But I’ve got receipts
I’ve got dates
I’ve got teeth
Rip the costume clean off in one bite
You lock your phone
I lock on your scent
Every “sorry” you sold was counterfeit
I’m the crack in the mask
I’m the past that you never paid rent
[Pre-Chorus]
You feel that itch when you hear my name
That flash of the truth in a wave of shame
Every laugh
Every handshake that you fake
Is one step closer to your quake
[Chorus]
I will be heard
I will be heard (louder now)
Everyone will know who you are
What you are
What you are (exposed)
There is no escape
There is no escape from me
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals]
Run
Change your face
Change your town
Change your code
I’m the ghost in the glow of your every upload
You can hide from the dark
From the crowd
From the scene
But you can’t shut me out of your own bloodstream
[screamed]
I am the scar you carved in my back
I am the proof you can’t redact
I’m the echo in the walls when you try to sleep
I rise
You sink
I speak
You bleed
[crescendo]
[Chorus]
