[intro] the walls are breathing again every face is made of plastic every promise tastes like rust every heartbeat sounds synthetic i drag my shadow through the city like a corpse tied to my spine watching the vultures circle overhead waiting for the perfect time [verse 1] every billboard screams salvation every screen demands my eyes manufactured desperation wrapped inside convenient lies they sell disease they sell relief they sell the cure before the wound they build the cage they lock the door then blame the animal in the room my nerves are live wires my blood is gasoline one spark away from turning this entire world obscene [chorus] i won't kneel i won't Kneel bury me beneath the weight let it burn let it rot i am everything you're not tear the mask from every face watch the pieces hit the ground all this pressure all this hatred turns to violence in the sound [verse 2] teeth clenched tight enough to shatter fists prepared to split the stone every day another reminder that we're dying all alone feed me fear feed me doubt feed me poison by the ton i survived the flood you made and now i'm what i've become the sky hangs black above me the earth cracks underneath every lesson carved in scars every answer found in grief [breakdown] break it down watch still standing still breathing still becoming something worse i hear the engines roaring inside the back of my skull all the things they tried to bury coming back beautiful every chain becomes a weapon every wound becomes a guide every nightmare left unfinished comes alive tonight [Chorus] i won't break i won't break bury me beneath the weight let it burn let it rot i am everything you're not from the ashes from the dirt from the damage and the hurt still standing still breathing still becoming something worse [outro] when the last light disappears and silence swallows every name the fire remains the fire remains the fire remains
