[singer A] [Intro | Whisper] You hear that? That’s the sound of your excuses dying. [Verse 1 | Rap] Every damn time something shattered, you pointed at her name, Built your little kingdom while feeding off her pain. Painted her the villain just to wash your dirty hands, Too scared to face the mirror, too weak to make a stand. Every lie you fabricated, every bridge you chose to burn, Now you’re choking on the smoke from the fire you earned. She carried all your blame like a cross across her spine, While you played the fucking victim every single fucking time. [Pre-Chorus | Clean] No more. She won’t bend. Your excuses reach their fucking end. No more weight. No more chains. You can drown beneath your own mistakes. [Chorus | Screams] SHE’S NOT YOUR FUCKING SCAPEGOAT! SHE’S NOT THE REASON THAT YOU BROKE! LOOK IN THE MIRROR, FACE YOURSELF! STOP BLAMING EVERYONE ELSE! [transition] [singer B] [Intro — Spoken, Cold] Do you ever take accountability? Do you ever look at the wreckage and admit your hands were there? No. You just find another match... And somehow, I'm always the witch. [Verse 1] Since 2009 I've carried Every consequence you made, You'd light the match, then point at me When everything went up in flames. Every choice became my failure, Every lie became my name, You built yourself an altar While I learned to carry shame. You filled innocent heads with poison, Gave them your version of the truth, Painted me into your villain So no one had to look at you. [Pre-Chorus] I've always been the witch you burn When truth gets far too close, Tie me to the stake with rumors, Then stand back inside the smoke. If you silence me beneath the flames, Maybe no one sees the light... But you forgot something about witches— We survive the fucking night. [Chorus] I'm done being the Eve to your Adam! I won't bite your apple So you can blame me for the fall. I won't wear your punishment, I won't answer for it all. You made your choices. You caused your damage. Own it. [transition] [singer A] [Verse 2 | Rap] You blame her for your anger, your cheating, and your pride, Like every rotten choice had somebody else inside. You swear the world betrayed you while you’re swinging every knife, Destroying every person that ever touched your life. You call her crazy, damaged, unstable, fucking wrong, Anything to hide the fact you’ve been the problem all along. Enough with all the gaslight, enough with every spin, The war you keep on fighting starts underneath your skin. [Breakdown | Guttural Screams] YOU! ARE! THE! COMMON! FUCKING! DENOMINATOR! EVERY FRIEND YOU LOST! EVERY BRIDGE YOU BURNED! EVERY HEART YOU BROKE! WHEN THE FUCK WILL YOU LEARN?! [Bridge | Quiet] She doesn’t owe you another apology… Another explanation… Another piece of herself… She owes herself… freedom. [Final Chorus | Full Band] SHE’S NOT YOUR FUCKING SCAPEGOAT! SHE’S DONE CARRYING YOUR SHAME! YOUR CHOICES HAVE A NAME, AND THAT NAME IS YOURS! TAKE THE WEIGHT! TAKE THE BLAME! STOP DRAGGING HER THROUGH YOUR FLAMES! SHE WALKS AWAY! HEAD HELD HIGH! WHILE YOUR EXCUSES FINALLY DIE! [Outro | Spoken over fading guitars] The truth doesn’t need someone else to bleed for it. Grow the hell up. Own your choices. Leave her name out of your mouth.
