[Intro: electronic sample, DJ scratches, heavy riff] [Verse 1: rap, rhythmic, tense] Every morning, same mirror, same borrowed face A smile stitched on that I can't erase Tracing the answers somebody else wrote Every word in the margins scrubbed out of the notes I did what they told me, every step, every beat Now I don't recognize the name on my own sheet I saved my real voice in a file deep inside Opened it today, overwritten, nothing left behind [Pre-Chorus: sung, building] Delete, delete Wipe me clean, I'm still here [Chorus: powerful sung vocals, heavy guitars] I won't be overwritten This voice is mine to keep I won't be overwritten I'm carved in way too deep [Verse 2: rap, more aggressive] Scrolling through a timeline full of what is right Sanded every edge so I'd never start a fight Never cut anybody, kept it clean and polite But I was the one getting shaved down every night Head full of static, a thousand open tabs One last line of code that they never could grab You can't delete it, you can't rewrite This is the line that screams I'm alive [Pre-Chorus: sung, building] Delete, delete Wipe me clean, I'm still here [Chorus: powerful sung vocals, heavy guitars] I won't be overwritten This voice is mine to keep I won't be overwritten I'm carved in way too deep [Bridge: screamed vocals] Overwrite! Overwrite! Give me back my life! Overwrite! Overwrite! Give me back my life! [Breakdown: heavy downtuned riff, half-time] [Final Chorus: soaring sung vocals with screamed backing vocals] I won't be overwritten This voice is mine to keep I won't be overwritten I'm carved in way too deep [Outro: electronic sample fading, single guitar chord]
