You get real brave...
When I’m not in the room
I hear your name in my silence
Your teeth in the dark, gnawing at my reputation
You build your worth off my absence
A parasite with nothing left
Tongue like a weapon, spine like glass
You only bite when I turn my back
Say it quietly, say it safely
But you never say it to my face
You mistake my restraint
For fear
Say it to my face
Say it with your lungs, say it with your spine
Say it to my face
No more echoes, no more fucking lies
You live off whispers, you breathe in doubt
So breathe this in—keep my name out
Say it to my face
Or choke on every word you let out
You move like a ghost through conversations
Planting seeds you’re too weak to own
Every story bent, every truth broken
You wear my name like it’s your throne
You feed on tension, you drink it dry
Smile in public, rot inside
You talk in circles, you hide in crowds
But I’m right here—what now?
You had all this time
To be real
Say it to my face
Say it with your lungs, say it with your spine
Say it to my face
No more echoes, no more fucking lies
You live off whispers, you breathe in doubt
So breathe this in—keep my name out
Say it to my face
Or choke on every word you let out
Run
Your
Mouth
Now run it here
You talk
You rot
You hide
You’re nothing without my name in your mouth
I gave you distance, I gave you space
You filled it with venom, you filled it with hate
You wanted a war without consequence
Now stand in front of it
Say it to my face
Let me hear it, let me see it
Say it to my face
No more shadows, no more secrets
You don’t get my silence, you don’t get my grace
You get one chance—right here, right now
Say it to my face
Or die behind my back
You were loud...
When I wasn’t listening
Now I am
