Unbreakable (Dark Mirror Ball)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They said Boys like me should break in secret Hide the lipstick on his collar Scrub the glitter off my neck They prayed Sunday knives behind their crosses Every whisper felt like poison Every hallway felt like check But I kept my boots on Blood on the laces Turned every slur Into fuel for my races Spit on the rules They wrote with my name Turned every bruise To a burn To a flame (yeah) [Chorus] I’m unbreakable Say my name with venom I drink your hate like medicine You want me gone? Keep dreaming in your skeleton bed I’m untouchable Dancing in the wreckage Call me every sin I’m blessed with it You made a monster Now choke on the crown on my head Unbreakable Unbreakable Yeah [Verse 2] Kissed a boy behind the bleachers He tasted like cherry and fear Principal called me a problem Mama just poured me a beer Said “Baby They burn what they don’t understand So light your own match Don’t give them your hands” So I wore black to graduation Painted nails Smug salvation Their applause felt like accusations I just smiled Pure defamation Turned the stage into confession My existence My aggression Every step A new obsession In their eyes I’m the transgression [Chorus] I’m unbreakable Say my name with venom I drink your hate like medicine You want me gone? Keep dreaming in your skeleton bed I’m untouchable Dancing in the wreckage Call me every sin I’m blessed with it You made a monster Now choke on the crown on my head Unbreakable Unbreakable Yeah [Verse 3] You put your holy hands on my throat Called me wrong Called me waste But when the doors locked You stared too long Like you wanted a taste Don’t preach at me with your shaking hands I know what you hide from your wedding band I saw your eyes when I walked past Jaw locked tight Lungs breathing glass You want my fire but you curse my flame You want my body but erase my name You kneel You plead You fake You pray But your heaven’s built on what you hate [Pre-Chorus] So keep your scriptures on your tongue They sound like begging when you run From everything you wish you were From every man I kiss on purpose (yeah) [Chorus] I’m unbreakable Say my name with venom I drink your hate like medicine You want me gone? Keep dreaming in your skeleton bed I’m untouchable Dancing in the wreckage Call me every sin I’m blessed with it You made a monster Now choke on the crown on my head Unbreakable Unbreakable Yeah [Verse 4] I’m the crack in your stained-glass window Rainbow bleeding down your saints Every whisper that you swallow Every “phase” you try to paint I’m that boy you tried to straighten Now I curve around your rules Turn your sermons into satire Make your shame look like a jewel Leather jacket in your chapel Boots loud on marble floors All your idols look so fragile All my scars They look like swords If your god can’t stand my dancing He can find a different throne I won’t shrink for your comfort I was born to dethrone [Chorus] I’m unbreakable Say my name with venom I drink your hate like medicine You want me gone? Keep dreaming in your skeleton bed I’m untouchable Dancing in the wreckage Call me every sin I’m blessed with it You made a monster Now choke on the crown on my head Unbreakable Unbreakable Yeah [Verse 5] They say “You’re too much Too loud Too bright” But they stare when I walk in They frame my face in their gossip Every rumor Every grin I’m their favorite demon story Told in whispers late at night Yet they dress up
