[Intro]
(teeth grit)
I bite down
Til my jaws crack
Spit dust
From your attack
[Verse 1]
You push and you push
Til my bones creak
Tried to make me small
Make my will weak
Now I’m eye-to-eye
With your cheap threats
Every lie you threw
Still stains my neck
[Chorus]
I put my foot down
Hear the ground crack
If you swing first
I’m swinging back
I’ll set fire to the world
That you built on my hurt
Let it burn
Let it burn
Watch it choke on the dirt
[Verse 2]
You want me on my knees
Begging
Tongue tied
You want me apologizing
Just for staying alive
But I’m done being quiet
Done staying polite
I am cut glass
Clenched fists
Bare teeth in the light
[Chorus]
I put my foot down
Hear the ground crack
If you swing first
I’m swinging back
I’ll set fire to the world
That you built on my hurt
Let it burn
Let it burn
Watch it choke on the dirt
[Bridge]
[Breakdown hits
Drums stagger
Guitars lurch]
Fuck your crown
And your kingdom of ash
Every empty threat
Every cowardly lash
You wanna break my neck?
Come and take your shot
I’m the match in your mouth
I’m the fear you forgot (yeah!)
[Chorus]
I put my foot down
Hear the ground crack
If you swing first
I’m swinging back
I’ll set fire to the world
That you built on my hurt
Let it burn
Let it burn
Til it’s dust in the dirt
[Outro]
(so put my foot down)
One last step
And the floor splits
I walk off
While your throne drips
