Well Enough
Consent of the quiet
Verse 1
They dressed me up in borrowed sins Said, “behave, or we take it back” Taught me how to hold my tongue Like a leash I learned to lack I watched them smile with sharpened teeth Call obedience “grace” They said order keeps you safe While they put a hand on my face
Pre-Chorus
Don’t scream They love you better when you don’t scream
Chorus
You didn’t rule us We let you You didn’t own us We bent If this is order Then order is a lie I didn’t fall I stepped aside
Verse 2
They say the monster hides in me Like I don’t see what they do They sell you fear in holy clothes And call it protecting you I bled in rooms without windows Signed my name in nods and shrugs They don’t need chains or cages now Just silence and enough drugs
Pre-Chorus
Don’t move They hate it when you move
Chorus
You didn’t rule us We let you You didn’t own us We bent If this is order Then order is a lie I didn’t fall I stepped aside
Bridge
You want a monster? Look at what you made polite. You want a god? Stop kneeling and see who’s still standing. I’m not your savior I’m not your sin I’m just the knife you left within reach And blamed the cut on me
Breakdown / Chant
Say it soft Say it clean Say it like you didn’t mean it Say it loud Say it proud Say it while you’re still allowed
Final Chorus
You didn’t rule us We let you You didn’t own us We bent If this is order Then order is a lie I didn’t fall I stepped aside
Outro
I won’t make you safe I won’t make you pure I won’t make you anything You didn’t already choose
