Choke On Your Silence

[Verse 1] You twist your words Like wire around my throat You practice every wound Like lines you had to quote You study where I’m weakest Sharp smile Quiet doubt You thought I’d fold and thank you For tearing myself out [Chorus] You’re mad at me For not being broken on your terms Mad at me For walking out For watching you burn You wanted me begging On my knees On repeat But I’m done playing victim You’re just mad at me [Verse 2] You call it “love” But love don’t sound like threats You call it “care” But care don’t place its bets On how much I’ll surrender How small you make me be You hate the way I’m standing Where you can’t puppet me [Chorus] You’re mad at me For not being broken on your terms Mad at me For walking out For watching you burn You wanted me begging On my knees On repeat But I cut every tether Now you’re mad at me [Bridge] Keep your gaslit stories Your rewritten past (yeah) Your sugar-coated poison I spit it back at last You only feel like power When you bend someone to bleed So choke on all your silence I’m the one you couldn’t lead (hey!) [Chorus] You’re mad at me For not being broken on your terms Mad at me For walking out For watching you burn You wanted me begging On my knees On repeat I won’t be your reflection You’re just mad at me (mad at me)
