Lyrics
Verse 1
Every word you throw cuts deeper than a blade
You preach perfection like it’s a holy crusade
Telling me I’ll never be enough,
Telling me to climb while you never lift me up
Pre-Chorus (screamed)
You talk of futures that you’ll never pay
But the cost is mine, I live with it every day
Chorus (sung/screamed blend)
Shut up! I don’t need your crown of thorns
Shut up! I’ve been bleeding since I was born
I’ll rise on my own, with what I can claim
Not your money, not your shame
Shut up! Just shut up and let me breathe
Verse 2
You call it love, but it’s chains in disguise
Another lecture, another set of lies
You want my soul, but you don’t pay the price
I built my life from the scraps you despise
Pre-Chorus (screamed)
Your words are cheap, your hands are closed
I’m done with the weight that you impose
Chorus (sung/screamed blend)
Shut up! I don’t need your crown of thorns
Shut up! I’ve been bleeding since I was born
I’ll rise on my own, with what I can claim
Not your money, not your shame
Shut up! Just shut up and let me breathe
Breakdown (heavy screamed section)
You don’t own me
You don’t feed me
You don’t see me
So don’t preach to me!
(I am not your project! I am not your prize!)
Bridge (emotional clean vocal)
I’m not your burden, I’m not your debt
I’ll chase the dreams that I can set
If I fall, it’s my fall to take
Not yours to measure, not yours to break
Final Chorus (all-out, screamed & sung overlap)
Shut up! I don’t need your crown of thorns
Shut up! I’ve been bleeding since I was born
I’ll rise on my own, with what I can claim
Not your money, not your shame
Shut up! Just shut up and let me breathe
Let me breathe! Let me breathe!
Outro (screamed, fading into silence)
Just… shut… up.
