Женский
Verse 1 – soft, almost spoken] They took the sky first Then the songs my mother sang Now I’m counting ribs in the mirror Wondering where the girl went Who laughed before they came Every note they crave Is a piece I carve from bone They call it “beautiful” I call it going home [Pre-Chorus – breath building] But I’m still here Ещё дышу (I’m still breathing) They hollowed out the world But my voice still has teeth in it [Chorus – full voice, strained, defiant] You can have my fear You can have my rage But you will never, never Put my soul inside a cage I’m still standing Ненависть моя (my hatred) Is the only god I’ve got And I’ll scream it till I’m not [Verse 2 – quieter, colder] They wear my father’s face In the shape of something wrong They sit where he sat Humming my name Like a half-remembered song They say “sing for us, little thing” I say “иди ты” (go to hell) My silence is the only gift I’ll give them from myself [Pre-Chorus – trembling] But I’m still here Я здесь (I am here) They peeled the sky away But I still know what light is [Chorus – full, breaking] You can have my fear You can have my rage But you will never, never Put my soul inside a cage I’m still standing Ненависть моя Is the only god I’ve got And I’ll scream it till I’m not [Bridge – almost acapella, voice cracking] They asked me why I fight Потому что я живая (because I am alive) They asked me why I hurt Потому что вы украли небо (because you stole the sky) I don’t want to win I want you to choke On every tear I never let you see [Final Chorus – slower, heavier, every word deliberate] You can take my fear You’ve already taken my rage But you will never, never Make me love this cage I’m still standing Ненависть моя Is the only god I’ve got And when I fall — I’ll fall still fighting [Outro – whisper, fading] Я не прощаю (I don’t forgive) Я не прощаю Я… [Silence]
