Lesser

Worked on something new @Music Creator And Co-Executive Producer Lesser [Verse 1] Walked in like the air already bent to my name Sharp tongue, clean hands, future riding a flame Didn’t ask for the space, I just took it and held it Then you slid in quiet with a soft little edit No raised voice, just the ceiling coming low Till I folded my frame into a shape you could own Death by a thousand soft cuts I allowed Learned to live smaller just to keep you around [Chorus] I used to take up space without asking permission Now I flinch at my own weight like I’m guilty of ambition You never had to break me, you just lowered the ceiling Till I fit in a life that didn’t feel like feeling I hate this lesser weight, this quiet, cut-down version I want the one who walked in like the room already knew them [Verse 2] You spoke like care but it landed like law Every quiet correction left another small scar Got fluent in shrinking to the size you allowed Lost the edge, lost the volume, kept my head bowed Cut the ties, left the life, still hearing the blade Your voice in the silence when I try to stand straight You didn’t call it control, you just rewrote the truth Called it love while you hollowed me out at the root [Bridge] I was already burning before you started measuring You don’t get to keep the fire just because you turned it down That older version’s still breathing under all this quiet I can feel it kicking every time I try to bow [Final Chorus] I used to take up space without asking permission Now I flinch at my own weight like I’m guilty of ambition You never had to break me, you just lowered the ceiling Till I fit in a life that didn’t feel like feeling I hate this lesser weight, this quiet, cut-down version I’m taking back the one who walked in like the room already knew them
