[Intro] Yeah I got tired of the mask Tired of the act So I burned it [Verse 1] They said "tone it down" So I broke the dial They said "stay in line" I erased the aisle Every label on my back Peel it off, let it bleed If you only see a problem You don’t get to call it me [Pre-Chorus] All that pressure On my chest Tried to crush me I pressed back [Chorus] I’m done trying to be what you need I only wanna be just being me If it’s too loud, then let it be I’d rather die than not be me Just being me, just being me All this pain turned into teeth Bite down hard, break these chains I only wanna be just being me [Verse 2] Yeah I’ve cracked before But I kept the pieces Stitched ‘em with the rage Now the wound’s my thesis You can sneer, you can laugh Throw your shade on repeat But your words hit the armor That I forged from defeat [Pre-Chorus] All that pressure On my chest Tried to crush me I pressed back [Chorus] [Bridge] [low vocal register] You want quiet? You want tame? You want a copy With a different name? [build] I’m the glitch In your routine I’m the shout Inside the screen I’m the scar that learned to scream [crescendo] I won’t shrink I won’t freeze I’m the storm On my knees Praying to stand up as me [Chorus]
