Louder Than Your Lies

[Verse 1] You said I’m too much Then you said I’m not enough Took your words like rusted nails Built a cage around my trust Every sideways little smirk Every quiet rolling eye Had me rehearsing my own failure Before I’d even tried [Chorus] I’m getting louder than your lies I’m done rehearsing my goodbyes You had a script for who I’d be But I cut the strings I’m breathing free I’m getting louder Watch me rise You fade to background Minimized I won’t be smaller just to fit your size I’m getting louder than your lies [Verse 2] You called it “help ” I called it hell Death by a thousand little tells Backhand praise and crooked smiles Measuring me against your trials But I’m done begging for your nod Done auditioning for frauds If I fall It’s by my choice I’ll crash and burn in my own voice (yeah) [Chorus] I’m getting louder than your lies I’m done rehearsing my goodbyes You had a script for who I’d be But I cut the strings I’m breathing free I’m getting louder Watch me rise You fade to background Minimized I won’t be smaller just to fit your size I’m getting louder than your lies [Bridge] [Band drops to soft ambient guitar and voice] Bare With my tremor in the mic Still here Still mine Every scar a little light You don’t get to name my fear You don’t get to claim my mind I am not your proof of right I’m just done staying confined [Chorus] [Band slams back in Full-throttle] I’m getting louder than your lies (than your lies) Done apologizing for my size (for my size) You had a script for who I’d be But I tore that page and set it free I’m getting louder Watch me rise Every doubt turns into fire I won’t be smaller just to keep you fine I’m getting louder than your lies [Outro] (hey!) Shout my name Not yours this time (woah) Feel the weight fall off my spine I was drowning in your eyes Now I’m walking past your lines I’m getting louder Louder than your lies
