[Intro] I kept it folded up like a note in my shoe like a bruise with a name I never gave to you [Verse 1] I learned to smile on cue while the floor felt thin Mornings wore my face nights let the storm back in There’s a door in me I still keep shut Three small scars on my wrist I call them enough [Pre-Chorus] But it shakes when I’m alone and it hums under my skin Like a train in a wall that never lets go in I can feel it rise to the roof of my mouth [Chorus] I break, I sing I break, I sing Let it out of me Let it out of me My hurt has a voice My hurt has a voice Then I fold back in Then I fold back in [Verse 2] Mother’s voice was ice Brother’s fists were rain Every locked-up room learned to say my name I wore quiet like a coat heavy and torn If I stayed still enough maybe I’d be worn [Pre-Chorus] But it shakes when I’m alone and it burns behind my teeth Like a match in the dark that wants to set me free I can hear it now at the edge of the sound [Chorus] I break, I sing I break, I sing Let it out of me Let it out of me My hurt has a voice My hurt has a voice Then I fold back in Then I fold back in [Verse 3] For one bright second I was all flame Hands in the air saying every hard thing Names, and doors, and blame and the boy on the stairs I sang it clean I sang it bare [Bridge] Don’t touch that wound I made it mine Don’t call it small don’t say I’m fine If I disappear it’s not the end It’s just the cage closing again [Verse 4] Now the room goes dim and my knees go weak I can still taste truth on the inside of my cheek I tuck my voice away like a coin in cloth The world gets far and I let it off [Pre-Chorus] But it shakes when I’m alone and it waits beneath my breath One more beat of truth one more step out of death I can feel it rise then I let it drown [Chorus] I break, I sing I break, I sing Let it out of me Let it out of me My hurt has a voice My hurt has a voice Then I fold back in Then I fold back in [Post-Chorus] Fold back in Fold back in Quiet house Quiet skin [Outro] I was here I was loud Now I’m back in the crowd of my own small room of my own sealed day
