Lyrics
[Intro] Cold iron under my tongue I taste the storm before it comes [Verse 1] You left the door half-open A warning in the frame I carried every promise Like a blade without a name The room became a furnace The clock refused to move I learned the shape of silence By watching what you do [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, let the floor remember If I break, let it break the chain [Chorus] I will not kneel to the weight you gave me I will not drown in the debt you made From every scar that you tried to bury I raise a voice you cannot erase You can pull the sky down over me You can turn the blood inside my veins I am still here, I am still burning And I won't give you my name [Verse 2] The photographs are curling Beside the kitchen sink Your version of the ending Is not what I believe I found a pulse in anger A heartbeat in the ash The thing you called forgiveness Was only fear in a mask [Pre-Chorus] If I fall, let the floor remember If I break, let it break the chain [Chorus] I will not kneel to the weight you gave me I will not drown in the debt you made From every scar that you tried to bury I raise a voice you cannot erase You can pull the sky down over me You can turn the blood inside my veins I am still here, I am still burning And I won't give you my name [Breakdown] No more— No more carrying your kingdom On my back Cut the cord Crush the crown Take the pieces Turn them back [Bridge] I hear the old fear calling From underneath the floor But I have crossed the threshold I am not yours anymore Let the whole house tremble Let the last lock give way I choose the wound that opened I choose the life it made [Final Chorus] I will not kneel to the weight you gave me I will not drown in the debt you made From every scar that you tried to bury I raise a voice you cannot erase You can pull the sky down over me You can turn the blood inside my veins I am still here, I am still burning And I won't give you my name [Outro] Cold iron turned to open air The door is gone I am still there
