They told me to smile But my teeth are knives They told me to wait But the clock eats lives I’ve swallowed their rules They rot in my chest I’m spitting them out Let the world digest Oh they want me quiet Want me tame Want me still But I’m a wildfire And I burn at will I’ll burn it all down Every lie Every crown Every cage they built for me Ashes in the ground Burn it all down Watch me Don’t make a sound You lit the match Now I’ll burn it all down Whispers in the dark Turn to howls at the moon I was a spark Now I’m a monsoon My rage is a hymn My voice is a knife You’ll hear it scream When it cuts through your life Oh they want me broken Want me soft Want me small But I’m a hurricane And I’ll take it all I’ll burn it all down Every lie Every crown Every cage they built for me Ashes in the ground Burn it all down Watch me Don’t make a sound You lit the match Now I’ll burn it all down
