Permission You Invented lyrics

You really said that out loud? You didn't trip You didn't fall You chose the door Then blamed the wall You dressed your hunger up as pain Called it absence Called it blame Said I didn't give you more While I was standing at the core Funny how your guilt needs me To survive Funny how your truth only works If I'm small enough to buy it You wanted permission So you invented my fault Turned your decision Into something I caused You crossed the line Then cleaned your hands And looked at me Like I would understand You didn't slip You didn't fall You chose yourself And blamed it all Then you smiled and aimed it clean You'd do the same if you were seen You said it like a mercy shot Like dignity was something I forgot You don't regret the act you made You regret I didn't play your game You needed me beneath you To feel tall You needed my silence To survive it all You wanted permission So you invented my fault Turned your reflection Into something I caused You crossed the line Then rewrote time And called it truth Like I'd be blind You didn't slip You didn't fall You chose yourself And blamed it all I didn't lose my value You lost your nerve I didn't fail to keep you You failed to own your words You wanted permission To sleep at night So you dressed your hunger As my lack of fight Say it again Say it out loud Say I'm the reason You burned it down You didn't slip You didn't fall You chose yourself And that's All Don't confuse my silence With forgiveness
