[Intro]
Teeth on steel
Tongue like rust
Every word
An aftershock
[Verse 1]
You preach in powerpoints and poisons
Smile stapled over rotting doubt
Every hollow slogan you keep loading
Another blank you’re firing at my mouth
I grit enamel through your lectures
My patience cracking line by line
You call it “order,” call it “structure”
I call it tightening the bind
[Chorus]
You wanna save me?
You wanna tame me?
All of your faith is just
Duct tape and danger
I’m not your project
I’m not your savior
I’d rather burn than live
Numb in your favor
(just let me burn)
[Verse 2]
You sell regret in glossy covers
Promise “rebirth” with a barcode
Every story starts with “you’re so broken”
Every ending blames the one controlled
I tore the labels off my ribcage
Found my own name carved beneath
You tried to patent every heartbeat
But this revolt has grown its teeth
[Chorus]
You wanna save me?
You wanna tame me?
All of your faith is just
Duct tape and danger
I’m not your project
I’m not your savior
I’d rather burn than live
Numb in your favor
[Bridge]
Cut the cord
Cut the catechism
If this is peace
Why am I still bleeding?
You call it love
I call it prison
Watch me walk
While the walls keep kneeling
(are you listening?)
[Chorus]
You wanna save me?
You wanna tame me?
All of your faith is just
Duct tape and danger
I’m not your project
I’m not your savior
I’d rather burn than live
Numb in your favor
(just let me burn)
(just let me burn)
