LINA VEYRA -TRACK 2 — TALK DOWN, GET CUT

[Driving Intro – Palm-Muted Guitars] You slow your words like I won’t follow Like I need it broken down You soften your voice Like that puts you above me [Verse 1] You explain my own thoughts back to me Like they sound better in your tone You mistake confidence for ignorance And comfort for being grown You interrupt, then clarify Like I missed the point But I’ve been living in the detail While you’re arguing the surface [Pre-Chorus] I don’t raise my voice I raise my standards I don’t fight for space I take it [Chorus] You talk down, get cut That’s how this works now I don’t argue for respect I walk out You don’t get to reframe me Just because you’re louder You talk down, get cut No debate, no second round [Verse 2] You call me difficult I call it not folding You want agreement I want honesty You confuse authority with volume You confuse calm with right But I’ve learned how to read intention Long before you finish the line [Pre-Chorus 2] I don’t owe you patience I don’t owe you grace Not when you mistake courtesy For a place above my face [Chorus] You talk down, get cut That’s the boundary now I don’t stay where I’m explained I move out You can keep your condescension You can keep your crown You talk down, get cut End of conversation now [Bridge – Half-Time] I don’t need your tone I don’t need your guide I learned more listening To who survived [Final Chorus – Tight, Aggressive] You talk down, get cut No warning, no doubt I don’t negotiate dignity I’m out [Outro] Conversation closed
