[Instrumental Hit – Full Band Explosion] Wait, wait, wait! [Verse 1] The alarm rings out like a funeral bell Another morning in this hollow shell I walk the corridors with nothing to say Just one more body getting lost in the gray I used to have a voice — I used to have a name But somewhere down the line I learned to play the game [Pre-Chorus, gang vocals] But the walls are cracking And I hear it — something snapping Deep inside a sound That they could never drown [Hook] So I won't keep waiting I'm detonating You held me down But I'm done obeying Rip this sound through concrete sky You ask me why? I scream — えぃ! Fake, fake, fake! [Verse 2] I punched the clock while they swallowed my years Nodded and smiled through the silence and fear I looked in the mirror and saw someone new — A man too tired of pretending he's you That stranger stared back with fire in his eyes And said — enough with the apologies and lies [Pre-Chorus, gang vocals] But the walls are cracking And I hear it — something snapping Deep inside a sound That they could never drown [Hook] So I won't keep waiting I'm detonating You held me down But I'm done obeying Rip this sound through concrete sky You ask me why? I scream — えぃ! [Bridge] Step through the door — feel the cold on my face This is the last time I belong to this place I leave the shadows, I surrender the chain I'm not the version of me that stayed They tried to hold me Hey — I'm already gone [Breakdown – Half-Time, Heavy] Heart beats loud like a detonator Every second ticking closer I strike the match — I watch it glow One way out — and now they'll know [Fast Aggressive Rap] They told me to sit, they told me to wait Handed me a script and said "stick to the page" But I've been burning slow since the very first day And now the fire's out — there's no more to say I'm done with the system, done with the role Done with the silence eating into my soul I'm taking the stage, I'm taking the sound Watch me tear the whole damn structure down No more waiting for permission to live No more bleeding for the ones that won't give This voice was always mine — they just buried it deep But you can't keep a detonator asleep — Ei!!! [Spoken – Guitars Fading Under] This is my voice. And I'm never giving it back. [Hook – Full Band Smash] So I won't keep waiting I'm detonating You held me down But I'm done obeying Rip this sound through concrete sky You ask me why? I scream — えぃ! Race, race, race! [Verse 3] Racing down the highway, leaving it all Foot on the pedal, back against the wall The city lights shrinking in the rearview glass I finally breathe — and it's nothing like the past Out in the open underneath the stars No more apologies, no more scars The engine howls and the spirit runs wild Tonight I'm nobody's obedient child [Final Chorus] So I won't keep waiting For this lie to stop faking Can't stand what I'm seeing Can't cage the fight in me — えぃ! [Final Hook – Maximum Volume] So I won't keep waiting I'm done pretending I'm not the one That needs defending Rip this sound through concrete sky You know damn why — I scream — えぃ! [Outro – Gang Vocals, Slow Decay] えぃ! え! えぃ! (I won't keep waiting...) えぃ! え! えぃ! ...free.
