Burn It Down

(one, two,

three, four!)

Alarm goes off at

six AM

Staring at the ceiling again

Cheap coffee burns the back of my throat

Stuck in traffic in a rusted coat

Punching the clock for a dead-end dime Trading my soul for borrowed

time

Tie pulled tight around my neck

Turning into a total wreck

I've taken all that I can take

Something's finally bound to break

Fuck this shit, I'm walking out

Tired of chewing on quiet doubt

Throw the badge down on the floor

I am not coming back no more (no more!)

Fuck this shit, tear it away

I'm done living

for yesterday!

Paper stacks piling up

to the sky

Another manager

telling a lie

Smiling politely through clenched teeth

While boiling over underneath

Keep your bonus, keep your praise I'm burning down these wasted days

No more nodding, no more yes

Cleaning up somebody else's mess

I've given up my peace of mind

Leaving all the trash behind

Fuck this shit, I'm walking out

Tired of chewing on quiet doubt

Throw the badge down on the floor

I am not coming back no more (no more!) Fuck this shit,

tear it away

I'm done living

for yesterday!

Ten

long years of playing nice Paying an unbearable price (yeah)

Look at me,

look in my eyes Done with all the compromises

(let it rip!) (go!)

Fuck this shit, I'm walking out

Tired of chewing on quiet doubt

Throw the badge down on the floor

I am not coming back no more (no more!) Fuck this shit,

tear it away

I'm done living

for yesterday! (fuck it!)
