[Verse 1]
I taste the iron in my tongue
Heart on a hairpin trigger
Every word you ever flung at me
Got smaller as I got bigger
I kept receipts in my ribcage
Burned every one in my sleep
Woke up lit like a warning
Too bright
Too loud
Too deep
[Chorus]
This is my power
You don’t get the best of me
I used to bend
Now I tower
Over every memory
You had your hour
Watched you fade so easily
This is my power
This is my power
Finally
[Verse 2]
I hear your name
It’s a siren
Pulls then slips from my grip
Used to beg for your attention
Now I barely let it drip
Got your ghost on a short leash
It tugs at my sleeve
Then stops
I don’t chase what keeps me bleeding
I just cut the final knots
[Chorus]
This is my power
You don’t get the best of me
I used to bend
Now I tower
Over every memory
You had your hour
Watched you fade so easily
This is my power
This is my power
Finally
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to bass and snaps
Close whisper vocal]
I was so tired of begging for crumbs (so done)
Bruised my pride on the edge of your tongue
Now every pulse in my chest is a drum
Calling me back to the place I’m from
[Chorus]
This is my power
You don’t get the best of me
I used to bend
Now I tower
Over every memory
You had your hour
Watched you fade so easily
This is my power
This is my power
Finally (yeah)
