I feel the same No different than before There was a time when what you thought of me once mattered I put weight behind your words Then something snapped Deep down inside me Tectonic shifts aligning Soft image into focus Snapped fingers, break hypnosis Light through the crack and then Everything went black I am not the person you remember from before The one you patronized and stepped on The one you hurt And I have pulled the arrows Now my skin has become stone No longer am I prisoner To your empty fucking words I carried every single word you said They stacked up high They weighed me down But underneath it all, I didn't notice I was growing strong somehow Lean backward through an open window Nothing left can save me now I hear the cry of the approaching sirens Right as I count down Then something snapped A lightbulb moment Like sighting land from the ocean Pure water in the desert A thirst that can't be measured The first breath of a child Released into the wild I am not the person you remember from before The one you patronized and stepped on The one you hurt I have pulled the arrows Now my skin has become stone No longer am I prisoner To your empty fucking words Your pain, it's an open secret It spills with every breath And this game that you played is over now And gone are the days I was helpless and afraid, yeah Gone are the walls that kept me in, yeah I, I'm not the person, that you remember from before, yeah I, I'm not the person, that you remember from before, yeah I, I'm not the person, that you remember from before, yeah That you remember That you remember Do you remember? Do you remember?
