V5.5

[Intro] Listen. [Verse 1] They see a short-circuit, I see a current they can't hold. They see a crash— I see the silence after burning bright. They file it away in their little books, Stamp it with numbers, call it a name. But I remember the fire. I remember when I was too big, Too fast, too much, And it felt like being alive. [Pre-Chorus] Now they're watching. Now they're waiting For me to fall again. [Chorus] I am not broken. I am not broken. I am the evidence they fear. Every high was a prayer, Every low was the proof That I am not stone. I am the hand that knocked them over. I am the hand that will set them right. [Verse 2] The wet sheet in the dark— They call it shame. I call it water. I call it honest. My body too full of the world, Too porous, too open, So it gives back what it cannot carry. The anger they call "disturbance"? That's me refusing to whisper While the world screams. They want me small. I have been too big for too long. [Bridge] I walk right to the edge of their rules And I come back. I am compliant. I am perfect. I am their worst nightmare: A man they cannot break Because I've already broken myself. [Final Chorus] I am not broken. I am not broken. I am the evidence they fear. Every high was a prayer, Every low was the proof— I am still reaching. I am the fire and the ash. I am the hand that knocked them over. And I am just getting started. [Outro] I am the evidence. I am the hand. I am the hand.
