[Intro] [syncopated clean electric guitar riff] [Verse 1] [breathy female vocals] I cut you off mid-breath On the air you try to speak I choke on every word you steal I'm fading incomplete I crush your thoughts like they're nothing I decide what truth will be I question if I'm even real Your doubt is swallowing me [Pre-Chorus] Explain yourself, justify I tighten every seam I'm tangled in your cross-examine Smaller than I seem I lace your voice with guilt and shame I bend you to your knees I carry weight that isn't mine Your blame is a slow disease [Chorus] [distorted electric guitars enter, heavy drums] Speak again, I dare you now There's always a price to pay I feel the threat inside my chest I learned to stay quiet, stay I rewrite every memory Your past belongs to me I'm losing grip on what was real Who am I meant to be? Love me right or lose me now I twist your heart in chains I bleed just trying to prove I care You weaponize my pain [Verse 2] [clean guitar returns, drums drop to light kick] I turn your whispers into storms Make mountains from your breath I walk on glass to keep you calm Your moods feel close to death I starve you of affection I decide when you can feel I'm begging just to feel your warmth This cold becomes too real [Chorus] [full band intensity] I paint you as the broken one No one will hear your plea I start to see myself through your Unstable, ugly, weak I step inside your space I loom, I make you small I shrink inside your shadow I feel like nothing at all I've got the door, I control the path There's nowhere you can go I feel the walls close in on me I'm trapped inside your hold [Bridge] [guttural screamed vocals, double-kick drumming] You can take my voice Carve it out, make it bleed You can break my will 'Til I forget what I need You can cage my soul They are nothing alone But I feel myself Dying inside your control [verse 2] [sustained guitar feedback] You silence me to feel alive I disappear so you survive I choose your word, I make your rules You don't decide a thing I lost myself to fade away You cut off everything No friends, no light, no outside voice I isolate your mind I feel the distance growing wide I'm leaving me behind I watch your calls, I track your breath You're never out my sight I feel exposed in everything No place to safely hide You need me just to function now You'd never last alone I start to fear you might be right I'm nothing on my own [bridge] [whispered] I whisper threats you'll never prove Just enough to keep control I live in fear of what you thought It's digging in my soul I seek your praise, I watch your flaws No one will take your side I feel a panic rise in me I've nowhere left to hide Silence, punishment, the war of ghosts No light, I pay for something human now But you just kill the night [final scream] [chorus] [dramatic sel//fury vocals raw and screaming] You can take my voice Carve it out, make it bleed You can break my will 'Til I forget what I need You can cage my soul They are nothing alone But I feel myself Dying inside your control [clean guitar fades out] [outro] You silence me to feel alive
