[Verse 1] Two AM, the hallway hums Fluorescent light and kingdom come Born beneath these ceiling tiles Now I mop them mile by mile Books inside my janitor's cart Memorizing someone else's heart [Pre-Chorus] They walk right through me every morning Another name tag, nothing more I got lightning in my pocket And a war behind my door [Chorus] Same floors, different shoes Walking where I used to kneel Same halls, a different truth Every wound I learned to heal Born here, bled here, cleaned here on my knees Same floors, different shoes I became what they refused to see [Verse 2] Mama's room was down this hall Watched her monitors hit the wall They couldn't reach her fading heart I stood there falling apart I swore between the fading beeps I'd save the ones they couldn't keep [Pre-Chorus] Not with bleach and not with shame But burning letters after my name The girl they mopped around will mend What broke her at the very end [Chorus] Same floors, different shoes Walking where I used to kneel Same halls, a different truth Every wound I learned to heal Born here, bled here, cleaned here on my knees Same floors, different shoes I became what they refused to see [Bridge] Match Day, hands are shaking Tearing open what I've been making First choice, the only place I'd go The halls that taught me all I know Who do you think you are? Just a girl with a mop and a scar But scars remember what the body forgot And this body remembers every single shot [Final Chorus] Same floors, DIFFERENT SHOES Every tile remembers what is true Same light, but I'm the one in white The ghost became the guiding light Born here, lost here, crawled here, swore here Rose up screaming from the floor Same floors, different shoes Mama, I came back for more [Outro] Same floors, for everyone still cleaning in the dark Same floors, your hands will hold the healing Same floors, we're all coming home
