[Verse 1] You left her cold on the floor Like she was dust in your house You wore that cruel little crown Spitting your poison out Half-blood, you said with a grin Like shame was yours to give Now I’m the blade in the dark Now I’m the reason you bleed [Pre-Chorus] She’s got your shadow in her skin A pulse beneath the rain And every lie you taught that girl Comes back to break your chain I saw her hands shaking there I saw her swallow fear Now I’m not coming to beg I’m coming to hear you fear [Chorus] She is not your trash (not your trash) She is not your pawn (not your pawn) That baby is not a curse (it’s a heart beating on) You called us lesser blood Called us dirt, called us wrong But I found my home in her eyes And I’ll burn your world to bones [Verse 2] You taught your teeth to bite first Never learned how to care I found her standing in spite With a bruise in her stare I said, “You don’t have to run You don’t have to hide” She said, “If I stay alive Will he still want me tonight?” And I swore on the crack in my soul On the scars in my hands No one gets to make her small No one gets to take that stand [Pre-Chorus] You said inferior lives Like a prayer made of rust But she’s been carrying light In the wreckage of your dust So come on, show me your hate Come on, say it to my face I was born with hell in my bones Now I’m giving it shape [Chorus] She is not your trash (not your trash) She is not your pawn (not your pawn) That baby is not a curse (it’s a heart beating on) You called us lesser blood Called us dirt, called us wrong But I found my home in her eyes And I’ll burn your world to bones [Bridge] [Breakdown] If I’m half and half, then I’m whole in this pain If she’s carrying our future, then I’ll carry the shame Not hers Not hers You don’t get to name that life You don’t get to take her light I hear your footsteps fade I hear your kingdom split She’s not a cage you own She’s the fire you missed [Final Chorus] She is not your trash (not your trash) She is not your pawn (not your pawn) That baby is not a curse (it’s a heart beating on) You called us lesser blood Called us dirt, called us wrong But I found my home in her eyes And I’ll burn your world to bones She is not your trash (not your trash) She is not your pawn (not your pawn) I’ll love her past your hate I’ll hold them when you’re gone That baby is not a curse (it’s a heart beating on) Half demon, half human Still I’m singing her a home
