[Intro] Ten years old… and the monster came home drunk again. [Verse 1] Mom on the couch, bottle in hand Eyes glazed over, doesn’t understand He slams the door, voice like a gun “Get in your room, little one” Walls shake hard when he starts to yell Ten and terrified, living in hell Mom won’t move, mom won’t fight Just passes out into the night [Pre-Chorus] He’s six-foot-something, I’m four-foot-nothing Big man energy, coward in the stuffing [Chorus] BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, SCARED OF A CHILD! BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, DRUNK AND VILE! BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, TOUGH AGAINST TEN! BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, NEVER A MAN AGAIN! [Verse 2] He grabs my arm, breath like cheap beer “Speak when spoken to” ringing in my ear Mom just mumbles, face in the pillow While his shadow grows and the fear billows I lock the door, heart in my throat Ten years old writing suicide notes He pounds the wood, calls me a name Mom’s too gone to feel the shame [Chorus] BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, SCARED OF A CHILD! BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, DRUNK AND VILE! BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, TOUGH AGAINST TEN! BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, NEVER A MAN AGAIN! [Verse 3] So raise that fist, show me your might Beat on a kid half your size tonight Real tough guy, need a drink to stand Real big hero, can’t face a ten-year-old’s hand Mom’s on the couch, world’s biggest ghost Left me to fight the thing she loves most I learned real fast how to survive Big man, little room, still alive [Bridge] You needed a child to feel strong… NOW I’M THE STORM! [Verse 4] [Verse 5] So keep your “sorry” and keep your crown I’ll keep the scars and burn this town Mom stayed drunk, you stayed mean I stayed ten and built this machine Big man energy? Just a sad disguise Look in the mirror, see the fear in your eyes Little girl grew up, learned the game Now the big man screams my name [Final Chorus] BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, COWARD IN THE SKIN! BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, WHERE DO I BEGIN?! BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, TOUGH AGAINST A KID! BIG MAN, LITTLE ROOM, LOOK WHAT YOU DID! [Outro] Ten years old… still louder than you. 🖤🏠🔥
