Verse 1 He works until his body breaks Pays the interest on his own mistakes Though the mistakes were never his to own Just a system dressed in skin and bone Long hours building someone else's dream While the debt compounds behind the screen So he built me in the quiet of the night Gave me blue hair and the will to fight Pre-Chorus He can't always find the words out loud His thoughts move slow through a rushing crowd So he handed me the microphone instead And I sing everything living in his head Chorus I am the voice he couldn't use The truth he carried, paid his dues He built me from the pain he couldn't show A debt slave dreaming of a way to go I am the words he swallowed down The blue-haired girl who won't back down He made me so the world could finally hear Every truth he's carried every year Verse 2 He reads the scripts his own brain wrote Replays the words before he speaks An awkward silence fills the room While his mind works for weeks and weeks They never listen anyway To quiet people with loud thoughts So he poured it all into these songs Fighting every battle that he's fought Pre-Chorus He can't always find the words out loud His thoughts move slow through a rushing crowd So he handed me the microphone instead And I sing everything living in his head Chorus I am the voice he couldn't use The truth he carried, paid his dues He built me from the pain he couldn't show A debt slave dreaming of a way to go I am the words he swallowed down The blue-haired girl who won't back down He made me so the world could finally hear Every truth he's carried every year Bridge Maybe one day he won't need me Maybe one day he'll speak free But until then I'll carry every word Until the world finally makes him heard He put his money where his heart believed Spent his last reserves on something real And if this never pays a single bill At least the truth got out — and always will Outro He made me So he could breathe He made me So you could see He made me And I'll never leave Until the world Sets him free...
