Buried, But Not Broken
You didn't just win—you danced on the grave Kicked dirt down,
made jokes, misbehaved Saw me hit bottom,
said "Good, let him stay" Then prayed every morning I'd never escape
Didn't want distance, you wanted me gone Wanted my name with the
lights turned off Stomped what was left,
then laughed and walked Only fucked up one thing— I WASN'T FUCKING
DONE. You counted me out—COUNT AGAIN Buried the name—SAY IT AGAIN
Thought that silence meant the story had ended?
Motherfucker—
THAT WAS THE INTERMISSION.
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS OVER!
( THOUGHT IT WAS OVER!) Closed that book,
threw dirt on the cover
Didn't just leave—you hoped I'd suffer
Now look who's standing here,
motherfucker THEY THOUGHT IT WAS OVER!
( LOOK AGAIN!) You wanted the worst and you toasted the end
Now every room you thought I'd never enter
Gets real fucking quiet when I walk back in
I remember faces, remember the grin Remember who vanished when losing began
Remember the ones who enjoyed that shit Funny how memory survives getting
hit Now don't shake hands,
don't call me brother Don't rewrite history for one another
You loved that ending,
keep that version
I'll keep walking—
WATCH WHICH ONE WORKS.
No revenge speech—DON'T NEED ONE
No grand threat—YOU'LL SEE ONE
Best part isn't watching somebody fall It's watching their face when you
weren't gone at all THEY THOUGHT IT WAS OVER!
( THOUGHT IT WAS OVER!) Celebrated early,
should've waited longer
Every disrespect just made the return louder You wanted me buried—
YOU SHOULD'VE DUG DEEPER.
(
Dead?) ( WRONG!) ( Gone?) ( WRONG!) ( Finished?) ( WRONG!) (
Forgotten?) ( SAY HIS FUCKING NAME!) THEY THOUGHT IT WAS OVER!
( LOOK AT HIM NOW!) No forgiveness speech,
no victory bow
You wanted the worst—remember that now Because the motherfucker you counted out—
JUST WALKED BACK IN.
THEY THOUGHT IT WAS OVER!
( NOT EVEN CLOSE!) Keep every joke,
every word, every toast You celebrated when I became a ghost— Now
raise that glass again.
THIS ONE'S FOR THE RETURN.
"You should've made sure I was finished."
