Go Away (Rock)

This place is cracking slow Every time you flinch You throw your fear like stones And I take every hit Take a step back Turn around Don’t feed me pride again Your sharp little words Keep tearing through the room Step aside Let me breathe I’m trying to stay kind But you keep reaching For my throat To feel less left behind You have to go away Go away You have to go away Don’t look back You can take the rest Take the rest You can take the rest Except my heart I won’t allow it I won’t consent I won’t be caged again Go away I’m tired of shrinking down To fit your safety net You call it love But it lands like chains on my wrists It’s hard for me To set you free When you’re holding so tight But it’s harder still Watching you crush my breath Just to sleep at night Step aside Let me breathe I’m done carrying this weight If you need a fortress Build it far Far away from my name You have to go away Go away You have to go away Don’t look back You can take the rest Take the rest You can take the rest Except my heart I won’t allow it I won’t consent I won’t be caged again Go away Not now Not anymore I’m not the floor you stomp on Not now Not anymore I’m not the lock you hang on Go Go away You have to go away Go away You have to go away Don’t look back You can take the rest Take the rest You can take the rest Except my heart I won’t allow it I won’t consent I won’t miss the cage You built for me Go away Go away I won’t be caged again
