[Verse 1]
She wakes with ash under her bed
Black handprints on the chapel wall
Bruises bloom in a ring of fire
Every mirror says, “You will fall”
He comes at dusk with a split-mouth grin
Hooks in his eyes, nails in his palms
He drags her name through the hall of saints
And leaves her tongue full of salt
[Pre-Chorus]
Priests laid oil on her skin
Witches drew smoke in the air
Paranormal lights and prayers
Only fed what lived in there
[Chorus]
Get off my throat (get off my throat)
Get out my bones (get out my bones)
He cannot own me (cannot own me)
I still stand alone
Get off my throat (get off my throat)
You break, then you go
I spit your curse back
I still stand alone
[Verse 2]
He floods her sleep with iron teeth
Rats in the sink, blood in the milk
Pins in her chair, nails in her shoes
Every room stitched up in guilt
A medium came with a ring of salt
A camera crew and a box of herbs
They heard that laugh behind her back
Then watched the candles burn and curve
[Pre-Chorus]
Priests laid oil on her skin
Witches drew smoke in the air
Paranormal lights and prayers
Only fed what lived in there
[Chorus]
Get off my throat (get off my throat)
Get out my bones (get out my bones)
He cannot own me (cannot own me)
I still stand alone
Get off my throat (get off my throat)
You break, then you go
I spit your curse back
I still stand alone
[Bridge]
She found the name carved deep in the door
A roar in the dark, a thing that feeds on fear
So she lit every room he ever stained
And called him closer with no trembling tear
Now hear me shake your kingdom loose
Hear me, hear me
I was made for hell and proof
Hear me, hear me
[Final Chorus]
Get off my throat (get off my throat)
Get out my bones (get out my bones)
He cannot own me (cannot own me)
I still stand alone
Get off my throat (get off my throat)
You break, then you go
I spit your curse back
I still stand alone
Get off my throat (get off my throat)
Ash in your throne
I burn your name down
I still stand alone
