[Intro] Cold sweat, floor Adrenaline rush Eyes on the handle Ready to crush (hey!) [Verse 1] Baritone: 3 AM staring down a dead-end door Hunting for the noise that don't live here anymore Counting every breath like a bomb on a clock Pacing back and forth with my jaw locked tight Tenor (sung under): I hear your boots step in my head Replaying every word you said Swallowed my pride till it turned to lead Left me behind for dead [Pre-Chorus] Tenor (screamed): WALKING SIDEWAYS ON THE FLOOR! TRYING NOT TO START ANOTHER WAR! Baritone (rapid): Dodge every landmine, play your little game Fuck that—I ain't flinching at the sound of your name! [Chorus] Get your hands off my chest! Get your voice out of my head! Every word you used to keep me small— I am, I am Leaving it for dead! Standing tall in the blinding light Cut the leash, tear down the wire If you want control then I’ll feed it to the fire! I am, I am Free tonight! [Verse 2] Baritone: Shaking in my hands starting to fade out Burn the rulebook, tearing the frame down Scars on my skin aren't a sign that I lost They’re the receipt for the lines that you crossed Tenor (sung reply): Are you afraid of the quiet air When the panic lets you go? When the grip slips off and nobody's there Will you finally break the hold? Baritone: I’m the headache, I’m the fever I’m the survivor and the non-believer Keep your cheap games, keep your little throne I’ll smash my way out with a heavy ass stone (yeah) [Pre-Chorus] Tenor (screamed): FEEL THE GRIP SLIPPING, BREAKING THE HOLD! TAKING BACK WHAT YOU BOUGHT AND SOLD! Baritone (rapid): Dodge every landmine, play your little game Fuck that—I ain't flinching at the sound of your name! [Chorus] Get your hands off my chest! Get your voice out of my head! Every word you used to keep me small— I am, I am Be leaving it for dead! Standing tall in the blinding light Cut the leash, tear down the wire If you want control then I’ll feed it to the fire! I am, I am Free tonight! [Bridge] Tenor (screamed): YOU DON'T CONTROL ME! (CONTROL ME!) YOU NEVER BROKE ME, YOU CAN'T HOLD ME! NO MORE SILENCE, NO MORE FEAR! STAND ON MY FEET, I AM STILL HERE! Baritone (rapid, underneath): Every check on the list, every mark on my chest Finally giving all the panic a rest Watch the walls cave in when the bassline drops When I take my life back, nobody stops [Breakdown] Tenor (screamed): YOU DON'T OWN MY LIFE! Baritone: Nah, I AM the life. Tenor (screamed): NOW WATCH ME LIVE! Baritone: Watch the whole floor sever! (hey!) [Chorus] Get your hands off my chest! Get your voice out of my head! Every word you used to keep me small— I am, I am Be leaving it for dead! Standing tall in the blinding light Cut the leash, tear down the wire If you want control then I’ll feed it to the fire! I am, I am Free tonight! [Outro] Tenor (sung, then screamed): You don't own me... And the smoke clears out... Baritone: Step back, open air ahead... WE'RE WALKING OUT. (yeah)
