Huuh, haah Huuh I walked the halls pretending everything was fine Laughing at the jokes so they wouldn't cross the line Sat alone at lunch, staring holes into my tray Thinking maybe if I disappear they'll stop calling me strange Kept it quiet, bit my tongue I was small, I was young Every whisper felt like fire Every shove rewired my wires So I danced through the noise, even when it hurt Every name they threw at me sank into my shirt I never said a word, swallowed every bruise But now that I'm grown, I'm done letting them choose They said it's just a joke, but jokes don't leave you shaking I'd smile with my lips, but my hands were always aching Tried to be invisible, tried to make it through But silence is a prison when no one hears you Kept it quiet, bit my tongue I was small, I was young Every whisper felt like fire Every shove rewired my wires So I danced through the noise, even when it hurt Every name they threw at me sank into my shirt I never said a word, swallowed every bruise But now that I'm grown, I'm done letting them choose Maybe I was broken, maybe I was scared Maybe I was just a kid who wanted someone who cared But every tear I swallowed turned into a melody And now the halls that crushed me Can't even get To Me Yeah, I'm older now, and the past don't talk But the ghosts of every joke still follow when I walk You said: Lighten up, but I carried all the weight, hid it in my chest till it twisted into hate I was quiet 'cause my voice got drowned Every shove, every laugh kept pushing me down You moved on like it never meant a thing, but I'm still stitching up the scars you gave when I was ten Can't rewrite the days and can't undo the pain but I turned every punch into lines in my brain And now I spit 'em out loud, no shame, no fear I'm the storm you built and I'm finally here, I survived all the words you threw at my spine and I rise, every time, turning damage into rhymes You can laugh at the kid I used to be, but you don't get to laugh at the person I became That's me School weirdo Strange kiddo Ooh
