Break the Safety Glass

Yeah

Teeth grit

Fists up

We don’t quit (nah)

I was raised on

Hand-me-down anger

Busted shoes

And a broke middle finger

Teacher said “calm”

I got louder instead

Carved my name

In the back of my head

Cheap ink

On a cracked ID

Whole town

Tried to silence me

Every rule that they wrote

Got torn

Every line that they drew

I crossed, reborn

I break the safety glass

When they box me in

I don’t wanna make peace

I just wanna win

Turn that pressure up

’Til the pipes all scream

I’m the worst-case, first-place

Ruptured dream

I break the safety glass

When they lock that door

If they push me down

I come back for more

Turn my scars to a warpaint sheen

I’m the worst-case, first-place

Ruptured dream (yeah)

Heart like

Steel-toe boots

Every kick

Leaving bulletproof proof

They say “grow up”

I say “grow sharp”

Ripped jeans, black eyes

And a rusted heart

Can’t cage

This cheap champagne

Shakes, then sprays

All over your name

You want calm?

You picked wrong kid

I’m the “don’t” in the rules

That you still did

Who’s gonna stop me? (who?)

You and what hope?

I chew through chains

Like a frayed old rope

If the world is a match

I’m the last dry leaf

Catch me in the sparks

Grinning with my teeth (hey!)

I break the safety glass

When they box me in

I don’t wanna make peace

I just wanna win

Turn that pressure up

’Til the pipes all scream

I’m the worst-case, first-place

Ruptured dream

I break the safety glass

When they lock that door

If they push me down

I come back for more

Turn my scars to a warpaint sheen

I’m the worst-case, first-place

Ruptured dream
