You Can't Decide My Name

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You wait where the service road bends Counting the minutes, rehearsing the end A name in your pocket, a face on the screen You call it a game; you know what you mean [Pre-Chorus] I hear your footsteps stop behind me I feel your patience closing in [Chorus] You don’t get to call this love You don’t get to call this fate I am more than what you’ve chosen I am not yours to erase You can chase me through the dark But you can’t decide my name I’m still here, I’m still breathing I won’t feed your little game [Verse 2] The basement clock keeps losing its hands You speak like a judge, but you’re shaking again You wanted a witness who wouldn’t survive Now every locked door says I’m still alive [Pre-Chorus] I hear your footsteps stop behind me I feel your patience closing in [Chorus] You don’t get to call this love You don’t get to call this fate I am more than what you’ve chosen I am not yours to erase You can chase me through the dark But you can’t decide my name I’m still here, I’m still breathing I won’t feed your little game [Breakdown] No more bargains No more lies [Guttural vocal] YOU DON’T OWN THIS LIFE [Bridge] You made a shrine of every warning You mistook my fear for your command But dawn is breaking through the boarded window And I’m walking out on my own hands [Final Chorus] You don’t get to call this love You don’t get to call this fate I am more than what you’ve chosen I am not yours to erase You can chase me through the dark But you can’t decide my name I’m still here, I’m still breathing You don’t get to choose my ending [Outro] I’m still here I’m still breathing
