Verse 1 – soft, almost spoken

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]
