[Verse 1] I'm not done There's still weight Pressing on my chest Shovel this mess into the tide But I won't place that bet I've given it thought I've given a lot I gave you my youth Blood And mind Each time after time After time [Pre-Chorus] So tell me the outcome Of a riddle with a changing answer Payola in bright crayons Selling us a plastic future Step back Take a look It spreads just like an anchor Maybe there was never Ever any chance here [Chorus] If you can't stay Then it won't make any real change It's a shame But there's no real change Same play Different actors on the same stage Say my name Then walk away No real change [Verse 2] You said "grow up" I outgrew Every box you built Stitched my tongue behind my teeth Swallowed every guilt Signed on the line For a promised design That kept moving just out of sight Every new daybreak Same night [Bridge] Is it mercy Or just habit When you check if I'm okay? (okay?) Am I breathing Or just dragging One more hollow day? If the ending Never bends Why am I still here? Scratching at the margins Of a contract made of fear [Chorus] If you can't stay Then it won't make any real change It's a shame But there's no real change Same script Different damage Same old blame Say my name Then fade to gray (no real change, no real change)
