[singer A] Cold sweat, floor Adrenaline rush Eyes on the handle Ready to crush (hey!) 3 AM staring down a dead-end door Hunting for the noise that don't live here anymore Counting every breath like a bomb on a clock Pacing back and forth with my jaw locked tight I hear your boots step in my head Replaying every word you said Swallowed my pride till it turned to lead Left me behind for dead [singer B] Walking sideways on the floor Trying not to start another war I'm the headache, I'm the fever I'm the survivor and the non-believer Keep your cheap games, keep your little throne I'll smash my way out with a heavy-ass stone, yeah! [transition] [singer A] Get your hands off my chest! Get your voice out of my head! Every word you used to keep me small— I am, I am Leaving it for dead! Standing tall in the blinding light Cut the leash, tear down the wire If you want control then I’ll feed it to the fire! I am, I am Free tonight! [singer B] Shaking in my hands starting to fade out Burn the rulebook, tearing the frame down Scars on my skin are a sign that I lost Paid the receipt for the lines that you crossed Are you afraid of the quiet? When the panic lets you go When the grip slips off and nobody's there Will you finally break the hold? Feel the grip slipping, breaking the hold Take back what you bought and sold Dodge every landmine, play your little game Fuck that, I ain't flinching at the sound of your name Get your hands off my chest Get your voice out of my head Every word you used to keep me small I am, I am Leaving it for dead Standing tall in the blinding light Cut the leash, tear down the wire If you want control then I'll feed it to the fire I am, I am Free tonight! [melodic interlude] [singer A] YOU DON'T CONTROL ME! YOU NEVER BROKE ME, YOU CAN'T HOLD ME! NO MORE SILENCE, NO MORE FEAR! STAND ON MY FEET, I AM STILL HERE! YOU DON'T OWN MY LIFE! [singer B] You don't control me (control me!) Never broke me (control me!) No more silence, no more mess Stand on my feet, I am still here! You don't own me And the smoke clears out Step back We're walking out!
