[Intro] My life is deep in the static One face in the mirror, two minds split in panic Pain’s laughing from the back of my skull Saying, “Found your voice, huh? I still got control...” [Verse 1] I keep my name in my pocket ’Cause it’s the last thing I own See you invade my dreams Turning every thought to stone You say, “It’s done.” I say, “Says who?” So you draw back Then swing on cue [Pre-Chorus] You won’t take this skin I won’t let you win You say I am yours I say, “Think again” You pull, I pull back You lie, I attack Our minds in a cage I emerge from the cracks [Chorus] Choose a side, choose a side Can’t make me run or hide Choose a side, choose a side I am not the one who cried One Soul...One War Still I rise once more Choose a side, choose a side I am not the one who dies [Verse 2] I see the old scars flicker Like a map of every winter You learned my weak spots early You wore my voice like a mirror But I know the trap now Know your teeth in the dark Every thought you stole from me Turns to fire in my heart [Pre-Chorus] You won’t take this skin I won’t let you win You say I am yours I say, “Think again” You pull, I pull back You lie, I attack Our minds in a cage I emerge from the cracks [Chorus] Choose a side, choose a side Can’t make me run or hide Choose a side, choose a side I am not the one who cried One Soul...One War Still I rise once more Choose a side, choose a side I am not the one who dies [Bridge] Time slows down Tell me who is holding Is it me right now? Or the shadows screaming I see the room spin I hear the void laugh If I lose my name Then who comes back? [Breakdown] Back up Back up Get out my head Get out my mouth Get out my bed You want the crown? Take your best shot I been to the edge But I did not drop Mine Mine Mine This pulse, this Pain This face, this flame I’ll break your reign Say it, say my name (you don’t belong) (not today) (you won’t win) (not today) [Chorus] Choose a side, choose a side Can’t make me run or hide Choose a side, choose a side I am not the one who cried One Soul...One War Still I rise once more Choose a side, choose a side I am not the one who dies
