[Verse 1]
Just try and stop me
Ink on my hands from the walls of this cage
Been a rebel sleeping
Curled like a secret at the back of the stage
Cheap plastic crown on a cracked bathroom mirror
Kept my teeth in my tongue
But my shadow grew bigger
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been counting every cut in the plaster
Every name they carved in the desk
If this is what they’re calling disaster
Then watch me clean up the mess
[Chorus]
I’ve been a rebel sleeping, now I’m awake
I’m gonna correct this shit like a fixer (fixer)
Rip out the rot and bend every gate
Turn every warning into a whisper (hey)
You built a throne on a pile of breaks
I’m bringing back every broken sister, brother
I’ve been a rebel sleeping, now I’m awake
I’m gonna correct this shit like a fixer
[Verse 2]
Black boots on linoleum
Footsteps loud as a funeral drum
All their silent ultimatums
Fold like paper when the fever comes
They dressed their lies in academic language
Stamped their seal on our skin
But I’m fluent in damage
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve been tracing every crack in the ceiling
Every flicker, every fake little smile
If truth is just a matter of dealing
Then pay up, it’s audit time
[Chorus]
I’ve been a rebel sleeping, now I’m awake
I’m gonna correct this shit like a fixer (oh, a fixer)
Rip out the rot and bend every gate
Turn every warning into a whisper
You built a throne on a pile of breaks
I’m bringing back every broken sister, brother
I’ve been a rebel sleeping, now I’m awake
I’m gonna correct this shit like a fixer
[Bridge]
[Half-time, bass-heavy break]
Turn the screws
’til the masks fall loose
Let the cracks run wild
through your perfect excuse
I was quiet
’cause I mapped your maze
Now I walk straight through
set fire to the glaze (hey!)
[Chorus]
I’ve been a rebel sleeping, now I’m awake
I’m gonna correct this shit like a fixer (fixer)
Rip out the rot and bend every gate
Turn every warning into a whisper
You built a throne on a pile of breaks
I’m bringing back every broken sister, brother (oh)
I’ve been a rebel sleeping, now I’m awake
I’m gonna correct this shit like a fixer
