[Verse 1] The mirror is a judge, and it won't lie This red thread of a hoodie, catching every eye. My hair brown and pretty , a nervous, silver track I wish I could just turn and run right back. The hemline of this skirt is sharp and new Trying to look like someone I can pull through. It’s hard to hold the focus when the air is thin But the war is fought before the doors begin. [Pre-Chorus] Three faces waiting on the porch light line Three sets of eyes to judge if I can shine. My pulse is a drum solo, loud and fast If I don't break the silence, this night won't last. I’m small against the map, but I’m the spark Stepping out of the safety of the dark. [Chorus] I am the riot in the rhythm, I’m the fuse I’m the girl they came to watch, the one they choose. I’m burning this whole sidewalk down to dust I’m the reason for the noise, the necessary rush. I’ll party till the daylight cracks the floor I’m the one they’re coming 'round for. [Verse 2] The front door is a trigger, cold and wide I swallow down the fear I tried to hide. My boots hit the pavement, a calculated sound Leaving all the quiet on the ground. They think they know the story, soft and sweet They don't know the fire underneath. I’m not a guest, I’m the event they need Planting a flag, sowing a reckless seed. [Bridge] Yeah, my hands are shaking, but the grip is tight This anxiety is just a blinding light. It’s not a weakness, it’s the engine roar I needed this pressure to want it more. I’m not here to fit, I’m here to break Every single promise that they make. [Chorus] I am the riot in the rhythm, I’m the fuse I’m the girl they came to watch, the one they choose. I’m burning this whole sidewalk down to dust I’m the reason for the noise, the necessary rush. I’ll party till the daylight cracks the floor I’m the one they’re coming 'round for. [Outro] Ready, ready, watch me get down The only sound that matters in this town. Till the day I die Till the day I die I’m the fuse, I’m the fuse.
