[Intro] You drew the lines in borrowed ink Called them walls and called them law I learned the locks, I learned the hinges Now watch me take the whole thing off [Verse 1] You keep the ledger, hide the names Sell us silence dressed as peace I know the cost beneath your numbers I know whose hands release the leash No more waiting for permission No more bowing to the screen I found the fault inside your order And I’m pulling at the seam [Pre-Chorus] Count me out, then count again I’m not yours to file away [Chorus] We won’t kneel, we won’t comply Cut the cord and claim the night You built the cage, we learned the code Now every locked door opens wide We won’t kneel, we won’t comply Say it clear, say it alive You built the cage, we learned the code Tonight we take back what is mine [Verse 2] You made a rule for every breathing body Made a price for every choice But there’s a crack beneath the polished surface And it’s widening with every voice I keep the names you tried to bury I keep the proof you scrubbed away You can change the signs above us You can’t make us look away [Pre-Chorus] Count me out, then count again I’m not yours to file away [Chorus] We won’t kneel, we won’t comply Cut the cord and claim the night You built the cage, we learned the code Now every locked door opens wide We won’t kneel, we won’t comply Say it clear, say it alive You built the cage, we learned the code Tonight we take back what is mine [Bridge] No more borrowed alibis No more hands held over eyes If the truth costs everything Let it cost; we’re still alive [Final Chorus] We won’t kneel, we won’t comply Cut the cord and claim the night You built the cage, we learned the code Now every locked door opens wide We won’t kneel, we won’t comply Say it clear, say it alive You built the cage, we learned the code Tonight we take back what is mine [Outro] Count me out Count me again
