Soft Like a Weapon

Soft like a whisper

But I don't break

I don't break

They called me sweet they called me kind

Used my heart like it was blind

But under lace I forged a knife

And now I walk between the lines

You took my light tried to dim the flame

But darling even angels go insane

You thought I'd fall thought I'd run away

But I was just waiting for the day

I'm the rose with the blade

The calm before the flame

You thought I was tame

But I never played your game

Soft lips steel soul

Burning bright ice cold

You made me your storm

Now watch me take control

Your silence taught me how to scream

I turned my wounds into a dream

You built your throne on top of me

But queens don't kneel they set fire free

You wore the crown but I wore the pain

And now I rise with a different name

I'm not your myth I'm not your shame

I'm the one you tried to tame

I'm the rose with the blade

The calm before the flame

You thought I was tame

But I never played your game

Soft lips steel soul

Burning bright ice cold

You made me your storm

Now watch me take control

You don't see me cry anymore

That girl's buried under the floor

Now I dance where the thunder roars

And I don't need your love to soar

I'm the rose with the blade

The calm before the flame

You thought I was tame

But I never played your game

Soft lips, steel soul

Burning bright ice cold

You made me your storm

Now watch me take control

Watch me take control

Soft

Like a weapon
