[Fast Count-In – Raw Energy] You thought I’d calm down You thought I’d adjust [Verse 1] I got older Not quieter I got smarter Not smaller You thought time would sand me down Make me easier to hold But pressure doesn’t polish It just shows [Chorus] Still loud Still here Still saying what you don’t wanna hear I didn’t mellow I refined Still loud And still mine [Verse 2] I don’t need permission I don’t need a stage I learned how to project Without asking I don’t shout to be seen I speak because I’m done Pretending comfort is peace When it isn’t one [Chorus] Still loud Still clear Still standing in it without fear [Bridge – Shout-Along] I didn’t grow out of it I grew into it [Final Chorus – Short, Explosive] Still loud Still mine Still not shrinking to fit your design [Outro – Abrupt Stop] Yeah
