The words

QueenQong

Soullectual

We take space. We don't give it back.

Intro

They built the roomthen told me where to stand.I grew past the walls.That wasn't in the plan.

Verse 1

Too loud.Too much.Too difficult to hold.Funny how a womangets dangerous when bold.Sit nice.Speak soft.Make yourself agreeable.I tried being smaller.It was unbelievable.Call me monstrous.I'll answer to the name.

Pre-Chorus

I was never meant to fitinside the shape you drew.You made the ceiling low—so I went straight through.

Chorus

We take space.We don't give it back.No shrinking down.No stepping back.Too big for the box.Too strong for the frame.Call me monstrous—I'll make it magnificent.We take space.We don't give it back.

Verse 2

Don't need saving.Don't need a prince.Not the damsel.I'm the author of this.Power isn't prettywhen it changes who commands.It moves the walls.It redraws the plans.You wanted decoration.I became architecture.Built myself so largethe room became the miniature.

Chorus

We take space.We don't give it back.No shrinking down.No stepping back.Too big for the box.Too strong for the frame.Call me monstrous—I'll make it magnificent.

Bridge

Too much?Good.Too loud?Good.Intimidating?Good.You made monstersout of womenwho refused to disappear.So—here I am.

Break

Not your myth.Not your warning.I survived the story.Now the story answers to me.

Final Chorus

We take space.We don't give it back.Let the walls shake.Let the old world crack.Too big for the box.Too strong for the frame.You called her monstrous—remember the name.Titan.Author.Woman.Qong.QUEENQONG.

Outro

They built the roomthen told me where to stand.I grew past the walls.Now look where I am.
