I don’t like it here

I think I’ll burn this whole place down

I don’t like this fucking system

I hope everybody drowns

I don’t like it here

Don’t like the role you made me play

I won’t hide the fact I want it

To be any other way

———

And one day

I’ll be able to do more than write my hopes

One day

The apocalypse it will burn the ropes

And one day

The hungry will feast and the well-fed will die

One day

That will only happen if we all try

———

I’m done smiling

For all the cameras’ harsh shots

I’m done staring at the rich ones

Who think they’re so damn hot

I’m done smiling

Done begging you to let me live

All the people will hold power

Power isn’t your’s to give

———

And one day

I’ll be able to do more than write my hopes

One day

The apocalypse it will burn the ropes

And one day

The hungry will feast and the well-fed will die

One day

That will only happen if we all try

———

I’m baring my teeth I’m baring my heart

I’m fucking exploding every part

So burn me with fire drown me with rain

I will bring all of you even more pain

I’m baring my grief, I’m baring my fear

I’m baring my anger to everyone here

Beautiful girl, if you ever knew

You would be feeling this same hatred too

Hatred it is

A facet of love

It’s how you protect

All that you love

When you don’t have

Even yourself

The fire of anger

Dear gods, does it help

———

And one day

I’ll be able to do more than write my hopes

One day

The apocalypse it will burn the ropes

And one day

The hungry will feast and the well-fed will die

One day

That will only happen if we all try
