(Not the same…) [Hook] I was silent, I was still (Still, still, still…) But now my bones hum with hunger (Hunger, hunger…) --- [Verse 2] They said to bow my head To kneel in careful quiet But I was never made for stillness My blood hums riot! (Riot! Riot! Riot! Riot!) -- [Bridge] I tried to pray for gentler hands For softer things to save me (The gods never answered) SO I TORE MY OWN TEETH FROM THE CAGE! --- [Chorus] I am not small (small) I am not tame (Tame) I am am still soft but (soft but) I am not the same!
