Table Nine ========== © 2026 MATRØS. All rights reserved. (Lyrics) Pauline ran from the smoke of the town Cold cement where the rain pours down Hidden away in her hollow oak tree Praying to god to set her free (Scream!) Body! I’m screaming, I’m not an animal! Dragged to the table, fighting the wall! Lost in the static of a clinical room Swallowing the shadow of a broken bloom! White fluorescent lights overhead Cold steel table where the tears get shed Back-alley deal in a dirty space Washing the shame right off her face (Go!) Body! I’m breathing, I’m not a mistake! Trapped in the choices we had to make! No future promised in a paper pack Jumping the edge and never looking back! (Watch it burn!) Cold glass vials and a chemical taste They call it a discharge, they call it a waste But I feel the pulse of a throbbing squirm Under the skin where the fever burns Body! I’m standing, I’m not just clay! Swept with the rubbish of yesterday! Cutting the thread of the family tree Nobody’s mercy is gonna save me! Screw their rules and screw their lies Sick of the anger in her mother’s eyes Nobody wants what they can’t control Ripping the script to save her soul (Break it!) Body! I’m fighting, I’m not your toy! Drowning the guilt that you try to employ! Out of the wreckage, out of the deep Keeping the secrets they wanted me to keep! (Let it out!) Not a loss in protein... not a throbbing squirm. I’m a human heart, and it’s my turn! Mommy, look at what you’ve done! Running away under a black sun! (Mommy! UGH!) Now the rain has washed the table clean Just another ghost in their sick machine But Pauline’s walking with her head held high Writing her name across the midnight sky Body! I’m living, I’m finally free! No clinical shadow is owning me! I’m not an animal, I’m not a mess Survived the damage of the heavy stress! (Yeah!) Table nine... yeah... I'm not an animal! Not a mistake! (Start...) (Don't look back!)
