Shattered Protocol

[Verse 1] Textbooks stacked like prison walls In this Kadıköy apartment that feels too small Father's voice echoes down the hall "Excellence is duty, don't you dare to fall" But something's crackin' in my mind tonight These expectations squeeze too tight [Chorus] I'm not your perfect little girl anymore Breaking free from what you had in store Watch me shatter every golden rule I'd rather dance than be your study tool (Your perfect little girl) Not anymore, not anymore [Verse 2] Grandma's broken oud collects the dust While I collect the pieces of my trust Nineteen years of "you must, you must" Till all your dreams turned into rust Every grade, every test, every prize Were just chains in perfect disguise [Bridge] The walls are speaking Turkish lullabies But I'm done with all these pretty lies Feel the bass shake this house of cards Your control is falling apart Watch me rise from these sacred ashes As your power crashes, crashes [Chorus] I'm not your perfect little girl anymore Breaking free from what you had in store Watch me shatter every golden rule I'd rather dance than be your study tool (Your perfect little girl) Not anymore, not anymore [Verse 3] Every melody becomes my shield Every beat helps these wounds get healed Your expectations start to yield As my true self is revealed In this night of neon revelations I'm dancing through your limitations [Outro] The morning light breaks through my window And I'm not sorry that I let go Of your perfectly planned tomorrow 'Cause this freedom tastes so sweet, you know (Sweet, so sweet) And I'm finally complete, you know (Complete, so complete)
