Lyrics
[Intro] [Ambient noise, reversed guitar swell] [Verse 1] You drew a line where the floorboards split Said, “stay in your lane,” while you moved the grid I learned every rule by the sound of the lock Now i count each breath like a tick on the clock You call it a choice when the doors all close You call it a win when the pressure gets sold I keep my hands where you told me to stand Then i take back the space with the shake of my hand [Chorus] We won’t bend to your design We won’t carry your dead weight Cut the cord, draw the line We’re still here — we’re still here [Verse 2] Keep your clean little story, your polished excuse Your numbers look good till the people come loose You built that machine and you fed it our names Now the gears skip a tooth when we step out of frame No crown, no savior, no soft parade Just a hard-earned voice that you can’t downgrade We know what you took, we know what it cost We’re done keeping count of the things that we lost [Chorus] We won’t bend to your design We won’t carry your dead weight Cut the cord, draw the line We’re still here — we’re still here [Bridge] [Half-time breakdown] You made the walls You named the terms You struck the match Now watch it turn [Final chorus] We won’t bend to your design We won’t carry your dead weight Cut the cord, draw the line We’re still here — we’re still here [Outro] [Hard abrupt cut]
