[Intro]
[whispered vocals]
You again
Same old static in my brain
Turn it up then fade
Now you’re screaming out my name
[Verse 1]
You crawl in when the room gets quiet
Bare feet on a broken spine
Stacked up thoughts like a wreck in a ditch
You rewind every fault of mine
Pull me back to the worst of the worst
Like a highlight reel of hurt
You say jump and my jaw just grinds
Heart in my throat, teeth in the dirt
[Chorus]
Voice in my head, you don’t own me
You’ve been living in my skull rent-free
But I’m done letting you control me
I’m not your puppet, you don’t pull these strings
Voice in my head, you won’t choke me
Every word you spit just fuels this flame
You can ride the rage but you won’t ghost me
I’m still standing, and I say your name
[Verse 2]
You talk slick like a fake best friend
“You’ll fail, they’ll bail, just quit”
You twist truth till it fits your shape
Then you laugh when I taste that grit
But I bit back, now my jaw’s all steel
Knuckles scarred from the mirror
Each scar line spelling out one fact
I’m the only one steering here
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You’re loud when I’m low
You’re small when I’m strong
You feed when I bleed
You starve when I’m on
[growled]
So I drag you out
Into daylight glare
You shrink, you crack
Yeah, you’re gasping for air
[crescendo]
This is mutiny inside my mind
Every doubt gets nailed to the wall
You were big when I walked alone
Now I hear you, and I stand tall
[Chorus]
