Lyrics

There's a tremor in my brain
A quiet little pull in the muscle and vein
Like a hand beneath the surface
Rearranging every choice that I've made
I feel the old rehearsals
Movements that I never meant to rehearse
Every step predetermined
By a script I never had the chance to unlearn
Fibers tighten, binding through
Little signals telling me what to do
But something cracks inside the groove
I'm coming back into view
I bend like a marionette
Lines in my skin telling me what comes next
Pulled to the places I try to forget
But I'm learning how to cut the rest
I rise with a trembling breath
Strung in a pose someone else once set
If the past is a weight on the back of my neck
Then I'm ready now to disconnect
I've been carved into a version
That never quite belonged to the life I designed
Every fault, every burden
Threaded deep into the grain of my spine
But I found the smallest opening
A tear in the pattern that held me in place
A moment where the tension
Loosened just enough for me to escape
All the lines begin to break
Frayed from every silent mistake
I won't repeat what they create
Not this time
I bend like a marionette
Lines in my skin telling me what comes next
Pulled to the places I try to forget
But I'm learning how to cut the rest
I rise with a trembling breath
Strung in a pose someone else once set
If the past is a weight on the back of my neck
Then I'm ready now to disconnect
Thread by thread
Let the binding end
Loosen what was fastened in my chest
Every knot that held me bent
I unravel it again
Let the framework fall
Let the old design dissolve
I was made to move beyond the pull
I return to my own pulse
I bend like a marionette
But now I'm the one choosing every step
Lines on my arms where the tension was kept
I'm tearing off the silhouette
I rise with a liberated breath
No longer confined to the roles I was set
If the past ever claimed my movement as debt
I've paid it in full
I disconnect
