Lyrics
Subtitles readyIntro Yeah. Ugh! Here we fucking go again. Verse 1 Every damn room, every damn night Same damn question, same damn fight “Why ain’t you softer?” “Why ain’t you sweet?” “Why don’t you smile when you get beat?” You hold her up like she’s some SAINT Paint me a monster with your complaints I’m so SICK of hearing her NAME Like we’re not bleeding exactly the same Pre-Chorus You see her halo You see my scars But neither of us Got this far without the dark Chorus This is my defiance! This is my middle finger to the sky! I’m tired of being measured By somebody else’s life So take your expectations And choke on every one I’m done being your shadow I’m done being anyone This is my— DEFIENCE! Verse 2 You love her light You fear my fire Then wonder why I don’t fucking admire The little box You built for me The pretty little prison You call destiny Every compliment’s an insult dressed in white “You’re good… but she’s better.” Every fucking TIME! So tell me— How am I supposed to grow When all you do is compare us Everywhere I go?! Rap Verse Nah! Nah! I don’t wanna hear another word About the golden girl everybody prefers I’m tired of the rankings Tired of the score Tired of hearing I should be more Like her Dress like her Sing like her Smile like her What the FUCK for? I’m not her reflection I’m not her clone I’m not some mistake That got left alone You made me the villain Then got surprised When I stopped caring WHYYY?! Chorus This is my defiance My middle finger to the sky I’m tired of being measured By somebody else’s life So take your expectations And choke on every one I’m done being your shadow I’m done being anyone Bridge Maybe she’s perfect Maybe she’s not Maybe we’re both just hurting More than we thought But if you think I’ll spend my life Living underneath Somebody else’s light— Then you don’t know me! Final Chorus This is my defiance The sound of every chain Snapping under pressure Breaking in the rain You wanted your angel You wanted me gone But look who’s still standing When the crowd moves on Outro I’m Shadow US.. And that’s enough. (music cuts out) “Now shut the fuck up!”
