[Intro] [Heavy slow bass drum stomp] [Foot stomp and hand clap rhythm] (Hey! Hey! Hey!) [Verse 1] I used to speak LOUD, standing tall in the room Up in your FACE, clearing out all the gloom I wouldn't APOLOGIZE for taking up space Unafraid of the STORM, running my own pace [Chorus] But the hands of the clock TURNED, and something got broken Now I measure the WEIGHT of every word spoken I’m MEEK, and I’m SHY, looking down at my shoes Wondering how MUCH of myself I could lose I used to be FIERCE, I used to be sure Now I’m QUESTIONING who I am at the core [Verse 2] [Darker, heavier bass rumble] I bowed my HEAD, I swallowed my pride I said every WORD to keep him satisfied Choking on APOLOGIES down on the floor But he still wanted BLOOD, he still wanted more Heavy on my CHEST, fist to the bone Beating my SKULL in the dark alone [Bridge] [Build up rhythm] SNAP. Something went cold. BREAK. Letting go of the hold. I was DONE. I was out of my mind. [Stop] [Acapella] Out of line... out of time... [Chorus] [Drop] [Massive halftime stomp explosion] [Full volume, aggressive vocals] But the hands of the clock TURNED, and the silence is broken! Now you’re gonna measure the WEIGHT of the words I’ve spoken! Yeah, I was MEEK, and I was SHY, looking down at my shoes But I found out EXACTLY how much I could lose! I used to be FIERCE, I used to be sure And I’m fighting my WAY back to who I am at the core! [Outro] [Rhythmic stomp marching out] Out of line. Out of time. Taking back what is MINE. No more apologies. No more floor. You don't live here ANYMORE. [Big Stomp] [End]
