Woke up this morning, same old view
Another Monday, feeling blue
Boss man calls, says "Gotta work late"
My phone's blowing up, I can't think straight
Traffic's a mess, the rain pours down
Another gray day in this tired town
Staring at the clock, watching it crawl
Feels like I'm running right into a wall
'Cause I'm done with the rules, done with the games
Done with the hustle and the fake-ass names
Gonna light a match and watch it all burn
Life's too short, there's a lesson to learn
Yeah, fuck it all, man, I'm breaking free
This ain't a rehearsal, it's just you and me
Got one ticket out and I'm cashing it in
Gonna live 'til I die, start where I begin
The bills are piling, the debt gets deep
Promises that no one can keep
Smiling to your face while they stab you in the back
Another rat race on a one-way track
They say "Be responsible, save for a rainy day"
But what's the point if you just fade away?
I'm tired of waiting for the perfect time
Gonna grab my share of the grand design
'Cause I'm done with the rules, done with the games
Done with the hustle and the fake-ass names
Gonna light a match and watch it all burn
Life's too short, there's a lesson to learn
Yeah, fuck it all, man, I'm breaking free
This ain't a rehearsal, it's just you and me
Got one ticket out and I'm cashing it in
Gonna live 'til I die, start where I begin
[Guitar solo - Fast, melodic, and chaotic]
This world's a prison built on doubt
But I found the key and I'm getting out
No more holding back, no more regret
I'm living right now, you ain't seen nothin' yet!
'Cause I'm done with the rules, done with the games
Done with the hustle and the fake-ass names
Gonna light a match and watch it all burn
Life's too short, there's a lesson to learn
Yeah, fuck it all, man, I'm breaking free
This ain't a rehearsal, it's just you and me
Got one ticket out and I'm cashing it in
Gonna live 'til I die, start where I begin
Yeah!
