Lyrics
[verse]
Every day it's the same routine
Screaming in a room nobody's seen
Trying to be what you all want me to be
But I'm losing my own name in the noise around me
[chorus]
I'm running on empty, worn down to the bone
Living in the shadow of a voice not my own
Push me to the edge and I still won't break
I'm taking back the silence, whatever it takes
[verse]
Step into the light, take the microphone
Every word I write, I write it alone
You built me a cage out of your expectations
I'm tearing through the walls, breaking down the gates
[chorus]
I'm running on empty, worn down to the bone
Living in the shadow of a voice not my own
Push me to the edge and I still won't break
I'm taking back the silence, whatever it takes
[bridge]
Turn it up, turn it up, let the static rise
Two worlds colliding underneath the same sky
No more numbers, no more scripted lines
This is my encore, this time it's mine
[chorus]
I'm running on empty, worn down to the bone
Living in the shadow of a voice not my own
Push me to the edge and I still won't break
I'm taking back the silence, whatever it takes
