Electric Misery

I painted over all the cracks you left behind

But every color fades when you slip inside my mind

You’re a hurricane in denim,

A disaster dressed in black

And I keep running forward just to fall two steps back

I swore I’d never let you pull me under again

But you talk like a savior and lie like a friend

So I’m shouting out the truth in electric misery

You keep taking what you want, but you’re never getting me

I’m done breaking, done aching,

No more ghost inside your story

I’m burning down the past—

Go on, watch me rewrite glory

I stitched together all the hope you tore apart

But I’m not your quiet echo, not your borrowed beating heart

You loved the way I needed you,

You hated when I shined

But now I’m turning up the volume

’Til I drown you out this time

I swore I’d never let you pull me under again

You spin me like a record but the song has to end

So I’m shouting out the truth in electric misery

You keep taking what you want, but you’re never getting me

I’m done breaking, done aching,

No more ghost inside your story

I’m burning down the past—

Go on, watch me rewrite glory

Oh, I’m done with pretending

Oh, this cycle is ending

Your shadow tried to chain me

But I’m brighter than you made me

Call me reckless, call me bitter—

I don’t care, I’m feeling bigger

Your control was temporary

I’m the one who's necessary

Now I’m shouting out the truth in electric misery

You keep taking what you want, but you’re never getting me

I’m done breaking, done aching,

No more ghost inside your story

I’m burning down the past—

You can’t stop me—rewriting glory
