Eleven

They kept me in a hallway built of nothing but control

Counting breaths like currency, waiting for the blow

Silence had a sharpness you could cut against my skin

Didn't know the strength they feared was buried deep within

Every rule they carved into me

Cracked the moment I stood up

I bend but I don't break, call it "Eleven"

Pressure in my skull but my spine stays level

Push me to the edge and I shift the ground

Make a dead room shake just by standing my ground

Call it Eleven, call it Eleven, call it Eleven, call it Eleven

Their whispers made a weapon out of everything I was

Trying to shape my edges into something they could trust

But I learned the way the world moves when you force it back

Power doesn't spark, sometimes it snaps

Every scar turned steel

And I quit asking why

I bend but I don't break, call it "Eleven"

Pressure in my skull but my spine stays level

Push me to the edge and I shift the ground

Make a dead room shake just by standing my ground

Call it Eleven, call it Eleven, call it Eleven, call it Eleven

If the walls start bleeding, let them

If the room tilts sideways, I stay

If the noise gets violent, I'll match it

I've lived through worse days

I bend but I don't break, call it "Eleven"

Built from every fracture that they thought was fatal

Push me to the edge and I shift the ground

If the world turns feral, I won't bow down

Call it Eleven, call it Eleven, call it Eleven, call it Eleven
