[Verse 1] Every promise came with fine print. Every ladder disappeared. Every kingdom that I built Was rented by the fucking year. Every badge expires. Every streak resets. I'm paying interest On a future I don't get. [Pre-Chorus] Say "Jump!" I say "How high?" They smile... They never tell me why. [Chorus] I DON'T WANT— A RENTED LIFE! Take your keys! Take your lock! Take your little ticking clock! I won't dance For another empty prize! I wasn't born To be monetized! [Verse 2] Every friend becomes a number. Every dream becomes a score. Every open door's another Subscription at the door. Everything is borrowed. Nothing's really mine. Even all my memories Expire over time. [Pre-Chorus] Use me. Spend me. Throw me away. Build another system That forgets my name. [Chorus] I DON'T WANT— A RENTED LIFE! Keep your points! Keep your crown! Watch your paper empire drown! I won't smile Just to feed your appetite. I'd rather crash Than disappear politely! [Bridge] I saved my best For someday... Someday never came. I bit my tongue... I played along... I nearly forgot my name. NO MORE! [Final Chorus] I DON'T WANT— A RENTED LIFE! Burn the lease! Break the chain! Dance barefoot In the pouring rain! If I lose it all... At least I chose! You can keep your rented life... I'M GOING HOME! [Outro] Nothing lasts. Nothing stays. So I'll wear this heart Until it breaks.
