Verse 1
Woke up late to a borrowed view
Same old lines dressed up as new
They talk in caps, they talk in flames
Every thought reduced to a name
Built the rules before the test
Told us less is knowing best
Nod your head, don’t slow the pace
Questions get you erased
Pre-Chorus
If I don’t shout, I don’t belong
If I don’t chant, I must be wrong
Chorus
I’m not buying what you sell
Truth don’t ring like a warning bell
If it’s solid, let it shake
Let it bend, let it break
I’m done living pre-approved
I want the mess, I want the proof
If thinking hurts, then let it sting
I’d rather doubt than anything
Verse 2
Every screen a pressure test
Smile, agree, or be dismissed
Feelings framed like facts at war
Nuance doesn’t trend anymore
They call it peace, they call it love
Point a finger, draw the blood
Say it clean, say it quick
Don’t explain, just politic
Pre-Chorus
If the crowd decides what’s real
What’s left for me to feel?
Chorus
I’m not buying what you sell
Truth don’t ring like a warning bell
If it’s solid, let it shake
Let it bend, let it break
I’m done living pre-approved
I want the mess, I want the proof
If thinking hurts, then let it sting
I’d rather doubt than anything
Bridge (Neck Deep angst, open chords)
I’m tired of being scared to speak
Like silence somehow equals peace
If I lose friends just to be clear
At least the voice I hear is real
Breakdown (Blink energy, stop-start)
Say it fast
Say it flat
Turn a feeling into fact
No reply
No defense
Just repeat it, that’s the test
Final Chorus
I’m not buying what you sell
I don’t need a safety rail
If it’s truth, it’ll survive
Every “what” and every “why”
I’ll tear the label off my name
I won’t chant, I won’t behave
I don’t need your guarantee
I’ll think it through and disagree
