[Verse 1]
I taste rust on my tongue
Same four walls
same old war
Blue light burns my shadow thin
I’m still here
but I’m not sure
You say “breathe”
like it’s that easy
I’ve been sinking
in this ceiling
[Chorus]
I’ve got static in my veins
and a riot in my head
Every promise that you made
turned from halo into lead
If I burn it all away
will you finally see my face?
I’m not broken
I’m not tamed
I’m the thunder through your cage
[Verse 2]
You prayed over my scars
like I’m something
to be fixed
But I grew teeth
inside these wounds
learned to bite
not just exist
Talk sweet
but your hands still shake me
Love feels
like you’re trying to erase me
[Chorus]
I’ve got static in my veins
and a riot in my head
Every promise that you made
turned from halo into lead
If I burn it all away
will you finally see my face?
I’m not broken
I’m not tamed
I’m the thunder through your cage
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to vocal and percussion]
Say you want the truth?
Here it is
I was never made to fit
your script
Cut my chords
till my voice went black
But I crawled through ash
and I’m taking it back (taking it back)
I’m the teeth in your nice white smile
The crack in your stained-glass aisle
You can chain these shaking hands
but you can’t touch how loud I stand (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’ve got static in my veins
and a riot in my head
Every promise that you made
turned from halo into lead
If I burn it all away
will you finally see my face?
I’m not broken
I’m not tamed
I’m the thunder through your cage
[Outro]
Let it shake
let it break
Every lie you ever gave
I am not your saving grace
I’m the storm you couldn’t save (ooh yeah)
