Lyrics
[Intro - Low / Close] Little Girl. Stop Crying. You Think This Is Bad? You Don’t Know Bad Yet. [Verse 1 - Psycho, Slow Then Building] Look At You, Small Hands, Soft Eyes, Still Thinking Sorry Makes The Hurt Go Quiet. Still Thinking People Mean What They Say, Still Thinking Love Means They’ll Let You Stay. You Keep Your Head Down, You Swallow The Heat, You Let Them Talk Sharp Then Blame Your Teeth. You Think Being Good Means You Take The Blow, You Think Being Silent Means They Won’t Know. But I Know What’s Coming. I Know The Rooms. I Know The Locks. I Know The Nights That Forget The Clock. I Know The Feeling Of Being Too Small While Somebody Else Makes You Feel Like Nothing At All. So Listen, Little Me. Don’t Trust The Quiet. Don’t Trust The Sweet. Sometimes A Smile Is A Door With Teeth. [Pre-Chorus] They’ll Tell You To Calm Down. They’ll Tell You To Wait. They’ll Call You A Monster For Learning To Hate. But Every Time They Push You And You Do Not Break I Get Stronger. That Is Your Mistake. [Chorus - Screamed] YOU’RE GONNA LEARN HOW A LOCK SOUNDS WHEN IT CRACKS. YOU’RE GONNA LEARN HOW TO NEVER GO BACK. YOU’RE GONNA BLEED WITHOUT LETTING THEM SEE. YOU’RE GONNA BURY THE SOFT PARTS OF ME. BLOOD FOR BLOOD. DEBT FOR DEBT. I REMEMBER WHAT YOU FORGET. ONE DAY YOU’LL STAND WHERE THE FEAR USED TO BE. AND THE DOOR WILL OPEN. AND YOU’LL BECOME ME. [Verse 2 - Rapid / Feral] You’ll Learn Every Warning They Refuse To Hear, You’ll Learn How Anger Keeps The Cowards Clear. You’ll Learn How Mercy Gets Used Like A Rope, How “It’ll Get Better” Can Choke Out Hope. You’ll Learn To Count Every Promise They Bend, Every “I’m Sorry” That Comes At The End. You’ll Learn The Difference Between Love And A Trap, Between Being Held And Being Kept In A Box. And No, I’m Not Saying You’ll Like What You See. I’m Saying You’ll Need Every Piece Of Me. The Nails. The Smile. The Fire In Your Chest. The Part That Stops Asking Who Deserves Your Best. Because They Will Take And Take And Take Until The Girl In You Starts To Shake. Then I’ll Wake. [Pre-Chorus 2] You’ll Hate Me At First. You’ll Call Me Wrong. You’ll Say I’m Too Loud, Too Far, Too Gone. Then One Night When The Door Gives Way You’ll Say My Name Like A Prayer. [Chorus - Bigger] YOU’RE GONNA LEARN HOW A LOCK SOUNDS WHEN IT CRACKS. YOU’RE GONNA LEARN HOW TO NEVER GO BACK. YOU’RE GONNA BLEED WITHOUT LETTING THEM SEE. YOU’RE GONNA BURY THE SOFT PARTS OF ME. BLOOD FOR BLOOD. DEBT FOR DEBT. I REMEMBER WHAT YOU FORGET. ONE DAY YOU’LL STAND WHERE THE FEAR USED TO BE. AND THE DOOR WILL OPEN. AND YOU’LL BECOME ME. [Bridge - Almost Gentle] I’m Sorry. Not For What I Am. For What You Had To Become To Make It Through. You Should’ve Been Allowed To Stay Small. You Should’ve Been Allowed To Be Safe. But Nobody Built You A Safe Place. So I Built One Out Of Rage. [Breakdown - Full Screamo / Boot Stomps] KICK THE DOOR. CRUSH THE LOCK. COUNT THE NAMES. NEVER STOP. THEY MADE A CAGE. I MADE A LAW. WHAT THEY TAKE GETS PAID FOR. BLOOD FOR BLOOD. BLOOD FOR BLOOD. NOT BECAUSE I LOVE THE PAIN- BECAUSE I LEARNED WHAT SURVIVAL DOES WHEN NOBODY COMES. I Came. [Final Chorus - Layered / Huge] YOU’RE GONNA LEARN HOW A LOCK SOUNDS WHEN IT CRACKS. YOU’RE GONNA LEARN HOW TO NEVER GO BACK. YOU’RE GONNA BLEED WITHOUT LETTING THEM SEE. YOU’RE GONNA BURY THE SOFT PARTS OF ME. BLOOD FOR BLOOD. DEBT FOR DEBT. I REMEMBER WHAT YOU FORGET. ONE DAY YOU’LL STAND WHERE THE FEAR USED TO BE. AND THE DOOR WILL OPEN. AND YOU’LL BECOME ME. [Outro - Whispered] Little Girl. You Survive. Then You Learn How To Make The World Move Out Of Your Way.
