[Instrumental Intro - mechanical pulse,distorted synth bass] [Female Vocal - restrained,menacing] You wrote my name in places I never chose Built a little cage and called it who I was Every time I changed, you moved the line Every version of me still wasn't right [Verse 1 - tense] Too loud when I spoke Too cold when I didn't Too much when I cared Too difficult when I questioned You kept a list of everything You thought I should erase Till I couldn't tell the difference Between your voice and my own name [Pre-Chorus - rising aggression] You wanted something easy Something you could rearrange But I'm done being grateful For permission to change [Chorus - explosive] Unmake me Take your hands off what you made me Unmake me I won't carry what you named me Every word you threw like a verdict Every line you drew around me Burns away when I remember You never knew me [Post-Chorus - distorted vocal layers] (You never knew me) (Never knew me) [Verse 2 - crushing] You called my boundaries selfish Called my silence an attack Made me doubt my own reflection Then congratulated me for coming back I swallowed every answer Just to keep the peace intact Now the words are coming faster And I'm never taking them back [Pre-Chorus - building] I know exactly what you wanted A version I could never be So keep your perfect little picture There is nothing left of me in it [Chorus - heavier] Unmake me Take your hands off what you made me Unmake me I won't carry what you named me Every word you threw like a verdict Every line you drew around me Burns away when I remember You never knew me [Breakdown - punishing,half-time] Don't call me difficult Because I finally said no Don't call me selfish Because I finally let go Don't call me anything You don't get that power I spent years disappearing Now watch me get louder [Bridge - stripped,distorted ambience] I don't owe you the girl Who made you comfortable I don't owe you the silence That kept you feeling powerful If becoming myself Makes me someone you can't stand Then lose the version you invented I was never in your hands [Final Chorus - full-force,layered screams] Unmake me I am more than what you made me Unmake me Every label falls away You can keep your little version You can keep the words you gave me I have finally found the anger That reminds me I'm still me [Outro - feedback,breath] Still me. (Still me.)
