No One Left To Save

I gave you every version of me
Even the ones I swore I'd never show
You watched me fracture quietly
Then last I was hollow
I wore your guilt like a second skin
Tried to bleed it out in every line
But the more I screamed for clarity
The more you blurred the signs
I was your mirror, cracked and fading
You loved me most when I was breaking

I'm not your motor
Not your chore
Not the voice you silence to feel pure
I burned down trying to be brave
Now there's no one left to save
You want the ashes not the flame
But I won't die just to stay tame

(I won't die)

You called it love
I called it war
Every hug a hidden score
I stitched your name into my spine
Now I can't stand without the lie
I'm back for space
You gave me chains
Said healing meant enduring pain

But I'm not your canvas
Not your muse
I'm the wreckage you refused

I build a shrine from every scar
Lit it up like a dying star

You prayed for peace
I prayed for air
But you were never really there

I'm not your motor
Not your chore
Not the voice you silence to feel pure
I burned down trying to be brave
Now there's no one left to save
You want the ashes not the flame
But I won't die just to stay tame

I won't die
Just to stay tame
