I was built for obedience Raised on consequence Trained to ask for permission Before I made a move Every step was calculated Every risk was weighted Every dream was traded For the comfort of the groove But the ritual is over And the altar's burning down I don't bow to what was sacred I don't kneel to what was sound Strike the match Watch it catch Let it all — BURN THE RULES Let them turn to ash and dust BURN THE RULES 'Cause they never earned my trust BURN THE RULES Every chain, every law, every line BURN THE RULES — Everything they said was mine to follow I leave behind Yeah — I stopped asking, started taking No more waiting, no more faking Every rule they ever gave me Was just a leash to keep me caged see I don't move with their permission This is MY road, MY decision Calculated? Nah, I'm done with that Light the match and don't look back Every wall they said was permanent I walked through it — no argument They said slow down, I said watch me go Burn the whole thing — put it on the show I was fluent in apology An expert in retreat Mastered every version Of admitting my defeat But defeat is just a story That the cautious tell at night And I'm done with other people's stories I'm writing mine tonight So take your warnings, take your wisdom Take your safe and structured plan Take your careful observations Of the risks I shouldn't chance Strike the match Watch it catch Let it all — BURN THE RULES Let them turn to ash and dust BURN THE RULES 'Cause they never earned my trust BURN THE RULES Every chain, every law, every line BURN THE RULES — Everything they said was mine to follow I leave behind No consequence — that's the frequency No looking back — that's the recipe They built the cage, I burned the blueprint Took the leap, didn't stop to think Every "what if" I just left it there Every "be careful" — I don't care Reckless? Maybe — but I'm breathing now Alive for real — and I'll show you how No apology, no compromise No permission needed — open your eyes The rules were never made for someone like me So I burned them all just to set myself free We were told to stay in line We were told that it was fine We were told the risk would break us We were told — but look at us now We were told to fear the fall We were told to heed the call We were told the cage would save us We were told — but look at us now LOOK AT US NOW BURN THE RULES Let them turn to ash and dust BURN THE RULES 'Cause they never earned my trust BURN THE RULES Every chain, every law, every line BURN THE RULES — Watch me walk through every fire That they said would end my life BURN THE RULES — BURN THEM ALL Let it burn... Let it all burn... Every rule... Every chain... Every lie they called a law... Let it burn...
