You Don't Know Me (DJ E & The New Gloom Child DJ)

[Intro] You wanna talk about me? Say it to my face. Step into the dark I’ll give you something to replace. [Verse 1] You spit your little stories like they’re gospel in the streets Calling me the problem just to hide your own deceit You point your shaking finger like it proves you’re pure and clean But every crack inside your smile tells me what you really mean [Pre-Chorus] You want someone to blame But you can’t face your own name [Chorus] You don’t know me You only know the villain that you built to feel redeemed You don’t own me I rise from all the shadows that you’re terrified to see Call me wicked call me broken call me what you need to be free But you don’t know me You never had the courage just to see [Beat Drops] [Verse 2] You dress yourself in innocence but wear it like a mask You’d rather call me every sin than face your shattered past You twist the truth to keep your perfect kingdom on display But all your perfect pieces crumble every time you say my name [Pre-Chorus] You want the world to choose But you can’t stand your own truth [Chorus] You don’t know me You only know the phantom that you sculpted out of fear You don’t own me I walk through fire laughing while you tremble in the mirror Call me heartless call me ruthless call me anything but near But you don’t know me And I won’t disappear [Bridge] Maybe you should stare a little longer in the glass See the lies you tell yourself See the fractures in your past Every word you throw at me is just confession in disguise I’m the one you try to bury You’re the one who’s living lies [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] You don’t know me You only know the nightmare that you painted in your mind You don’t own me I rise inside the darkness that you hoped I’d leave behind Call me sinner call me poison call me everything unkind But you don’t know me You never had the strength to look inside [Guitar Solo]
