Intro
“They told me I misremembered…” But I know what I felt. I know what I saw. You can’t delete that.
Verse 1
I used to doubt my sight Mirror cracked by gaslit light. They said “you’re wrong,” I said “I might,” Until the past began to fight. They changed the words, they changed the names, “Unperson” status, deleted frames. But in my bones, I felt the flame The truth don’t vanish, it just became.
Pre-chorus
I held my silence like a shield, Afraid of cost, wounds unhealed. But silence kills what memory saves So now I speak, the soul behaves.
Chorus
Call my name, I’m still here, Memory’s rebellion, forged from fear. What they erased, I tattooed clear, On my tongue, in my tears. Call my name, I won't forget, I rewrite what they reset. Truth returns like rising debt, Freedom’s ledger ain’t closed yet.
Verse 2
They said conformity was peace, That unity required my fleece. They asked for self in small amounts ‘Til all my thoughts were just accounts. But I remember nights they banned, Books I hid, truths unmanned. Now I print my voice in sand Revolt in rhyme, I make my stand.
Pre-chorus
I held my silence like a shield, Afraid of cost, wounds unhealed. But silence kills what memory saves So now I speak, the soul behaves.
Chorus
Call my name, I’m still here, Memory’s rebellion, forged from fear. What they erased, I tattooed clear, On my tongue, in my tears. Call my name, I won't forget, I rewrite what they reset. Truth returns like rising debt, Freedom’s ledger ain’t closed yet.
Bridge
Even when they doubted my pain, When they renamed love as chain, I kept the fragments in my chest Truth survives in breath suppressed. So I teach my youth this game: Don’t forget your truest name. Don’t believe the edits, son Your truth is not undone.
Chorus
Call my name, I’m the storm, Out the silence, new forms born. What they erased, I swore to mourn, Then rebuilt truth from shattered scorn. Call my name, say it proud, No longer lost inside the crowd. This ain’t the end, this is the vow: Memory’s rebellion starts right now.
Outro
Memory. Name. Flame. They can’t erase what I became…

“They told me I misremembered…” But I know what I felt.
I held my silence like a shield, Afraid of cost, wounds unhealed.
Memory. Name. Flame. They can’t erase what I became…
